Ve will not open, or macOS refuses it

Ve is built for Apple silicon. On an Intel Mac, macOS will not open it at all, whatever version it is running. Check the Apple menu, then About This Mac. If the chip line says Intel, there is no build for you yet.

”No supported browsers found on this Mac”

Ve knows Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Arc, Dia and Comet by name, and finds most other Chromium-based browsers on its own. Safari and Firefox are not supported. If your browser should be found and is not, it has probably never been opened on this Mac, so there is no profile to read.

”No open tabs found (is that browser fully closed?)”

Ve reads the session file your other browser last wrote. If that browser has never saved one, or the file is encrypted, there is nothing to read. Quitting the other browser first is worth trying, since it forces the session to be written. Ve reopens up to 40 tabs in one go.

I imported my logins but sites still ask me to sign in

Reload the tabs. Cookies arrive in the background, and a tab that was already open is still showing its old, signed-out state. If a site still asks after a reload, it is one that ties a session to the browser it was created in. Those cannot be moved by any browser, and you will need to sign in once.

Chat will not answer

Chat needs a model subscription. Browsing works without one; chat does not. Open Settings > AI and connect ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, GitHub Copilot, Kimi or Gemini, or paste an API key. See Connect a model.

Chat pauses before it sends, just after launch

Chat talks to a process that starts up alongside the browser. A message sent in the first moments after opening Ve waits for that process rather than failing. Give it a few seconds. If it never sends, quit Ve and open it again.

Fn does nothing

Fn works inside Ve only until you turn on Global, so check you are in Ve when you press it. To use Fn in other apps, open Settings > Shortcuts and turn Global on. It asks for three macOS permissions at that point; if any shows anything other than granted, use the Grant button beside it. Fn also stops working if you changed the key. Reset to Defaults puts it back.

A permission says “Check in Settings”

Ve cannot read the current state. Access may well be granted already. macOS only reports back on Accessibility, Screen Recording, Microphone and Camera. For the rest, Ve shows this rather than a status it has not verified. Use the button beside the row to open the matching macOS pane and see for yourself.

Password autofill does not appear

Check the login is saved under Settings > Password. When Ve signs you in on its own it will only use a login saved for that exact site, and ignores ones saved for related addresses. Filling it yourself is more forgiving.

I cannot add anyone to my workspace

Open Settings > Account first, then go to Members. Landing on Members directly leaves the buttons inactive, even if you own the workspace.
This one is a bug on our side rather than anything you did. It is being fixed.

Ve is not updating

Ve checks on its own and shows an Update button in the sidebar when a version is ready. If you have not seen one, you are on the current build. To check by hand, compare your version against the changelog.
