Its own computer

# It has its own browser. Your passwords stay yours.

Propel has its own browser in the cloud. It uses it to research and to work on sites that have no other way in. When a site needs your login, it hands you a live view of the site's own sign-in page. You sign in. It never sees, types or keeps your password.

Why a browser

## What does it use a browser for?

Reading pages that need a real browser, checking a competitor's pricing page, and working on sites that offer no other way in. Every step is recorded with a screenshot, so you can see what it saw.

Its browsing goes through a guard that refuses private and internal addresses.

Sign-in

## How does sign-in work without a password?

When a site needs you, Propel opens a live view of that site's own sign-in page. You sign in there, the way you always do. Propel keeps only the signed-in session, sealed, and you can disconnect it at any time.

It can be signed in to LinkedIn, Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, and any other site you choose.

The last click

## Who presses the button?

On Hacker News, Reddit, Product Hunt and Indie Hackers, you do . Propel prepares the title, the link and the first comment, and fills them in. The submit button is yours. Each site also has a daily limit.

It never solves CAPTCHAs and never disguises itself. Posts on X go through X's official interface instead.

## What do people ask about its browser?

### Does Propel ever see my password?

No. You sign in yourself on the site's own sign-in page, through a live view. Propel never types, stores or logs a password, and never shows one to an AI model. What it keeps is the signed-in session, sealed.

### Does it post on Hacker News or Reddit for me?

No. On community sites it fills things in and you press the button. It never posts in communities for you.

### Does it use a browser for X?

No. Posts on X go through X's official interface, never through a browser.

### Can it get past CAPTCHAs?

No, and it does not try. It does not solve CAPTCHAs or disguise itself.

### Which plans include its own computer?

The paid plans. The Free plan does not include the signed-in browser.
