We had planned for rain. We got four days of it, then a week of the kind of light that makes you stop the car every ten minutes. The dogs took it in turns to be unimpressed.
The canoe was borrowed from a farmer near Geiranger who would not take money, only a promise to send him the photos. These are those photos.
Next time: fewer layers, more film, and a bigger tent.
On a computer this is a whole browser to play with. Here’s the ring: touch and drag toward an option.

No right-click menus, no “Save image as…” and no tab to convert it in. Drag, tap, choose.
Google Images, Pinterest, X, Reddit and most shops show you a small copy. Halo finds the full-size file behind it, and saves it as PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF if your apps won’t open the format it came in.

trip.mp4Most videos aren’t a file: they stream in pieces. Halo rebuilds the video from the pieces the page already loaded, joins the sound and picture, and hands you one MP4 that plays everywhere. Or just the frame you’re on, or just the sound.
Tap ⌥ for the tools. Crop, edit, redact, annotate, put it on a background or make it smaller; trim, split or speed up a video. Each opens in a small window right on the page, and Save applies it to the full-size original.
Remove BGTap ⌘ for AI. Remove a background, copy the text out of a screenshot, or upscale a small image, all on your computer. That puppy is what Halo’s on-device model made of the photo above.
Grab the frame you’re looking at, at full resolution. On YouTube, save or copy the transcript, get its key points or read it in your language with Chrome’s built-in AI, or copy a link to this exact moment.
Shift opens the ring and goes back to Save. Option switches to the tools, Command to AI. Some sites won’t let you drag: hold Shift and press instead. No keyboard to hand? Press and hold, then click.
Pick one here and the ring in the demo above follows, as it does from Halo’s toolbar menu.

Halo works in your browser. It doesn’t see the pages you visit, and nothing you save, crop or cut out passes through a Halo server.
Every install starts with 50 free uses of everything. No account, no subscription.
Add to Chrome — it’s freeUnlock Halo from its toolbar menu whenever you’re ready.No. YouTube doesn’t allow it. On YouTube, Halo saves frames and transcripts, copies a link at the current time, and opens YouTube’s own Clip tool.
Each save or copy, from the ring or a tool window. Opening the ring or a window, link actions (Open, Copy link, Lens) and cloud tools (they use credits) don’t count, and nor does a save that fails.
No. Crop, Redact, Annotate, Trim and the other tools work inside your browser, and so do Remove BG, Copy text and Upscale 2×. Only the cloud tools, marked ✦, send anything: the one picture, or a video’s sound, that you chose them for.
They pay for the cloud tools (✦): a sharper cut-out is ✦1, a 4× upscale ✦2, a transcript ✦1 a minute. A licence comes with 100; more are 100 for $5, or 500 for $19, and they never expire. A tool that fails gives its credits back.
No. You get a licence key by email; paste it into Halo. That’s all.
Yes: one key unlocks Halo in up to 3 browsers. Deactivate one in Halo to free a slot.
No. Halo doesn’t touch DRM.
