Banquish Review (2026): Pricing, Features & Honest Verdict

Banquish is a Mac app that lets you clip live, working pieces of web pages onto a single canvas. Not screenshots: the real elements, still scrolling, still logged in, still updating. A built-in agent then acts across those panels. Best for: makers who live in fourteen tabs. Price: Free to start. Rating: 7/10.

What is Banquish?

Banquish is a Mac app that attacks the tab problem from a direction nobody else has tried. Instead of organising your tabs, grouping them, or suspending them, it lets you tear individual pieces out of web pages and drop them onto a canvas. A search box from one site, a live price from another, a chat thread, a video, a dashboard panel. You arrange those fragments in the layout your actual task needs rather than the layout a row of tabs forces on you.

The critical detail is that a Banquish clip is not a screenshot. It is the real page, masked down to the piece you selected. The scripts keep running, the event handlers still fire, and your logged-in session stays intact. So a clipped dashboard keeps refreshing, a clipped feed keeps loading new items, and a clipped doc that a colleague is editing updates in front of you. Close the app and the space is waiting exactly where you left it.

It launched on Product Hunt on 25 July 2026 at rank 16 with 83 upvotes, built by GeonHyeok Boo. It is a WebKit-based native Mac app with a companion Chrome extension, and it requires macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon.

What Are Banquish’s Key Features?

Live clipping that keeps the page working

You hover over any part of a page, lift out exactly the piece you need, and drop it on your canvas as its own panel. Three steps, described on the site as pick, drop, arrange.

The engineering choice underneath is what makes this interesting. Embedding a live fragment of an authenticated third-party page, with its JavaScript and session intact, is much harder than screenshotting it, and the entire value depends on getting it right. Every previous attempt at a “dashboard of web pieces” ended up being either a wall of static images or a set of iframes that broke the moment a site set a restrictive frame policy. Masking a real WebKit view down to a region sidesteps that.

Sessions and state persist

Clipped panels stay signed in and keep their state between sessions. Your apartment-hunting space is still there tomorrow, still logged into the listing site, still showing current prices.

This is the feature that separates a toy from a workspace. A canvas you have to rebuild every morning is a demo. One that survives a restart is a place you work. It also quietly means Banquish is holding authenticated sessions for every site you clip from, which is worth thinking about before you clip your bank.

An agent that acts across your panels

There is a built-in AI agent that operates inside the space you built. You ask in plain language and it works across the panels: “which of these three is cheapest,” “tell me when this listing drops,” “set up a space for my apartment hunt.” The framing on the site is that you define the hierarchy and the agent runs the tedium, and it checks with you before anything consequential.

Agents that browse the open web have a reliability problem, because the space of things that can go wrong is unbounded. Scoping an agent to panels you deliberately chose is a smarter design: the context is smaller, the targets are explicit, and you can see what it is looking at. The confirm-before-acting default is the right call and we would not use it without one.

Chrome extension companion

A Chrome extension sits alongside the Mac app, which matters for the practical reason that a lot of what you would want to clip lives behind a login you already have in Chrome. Getting content from browser to canvas without re-authenticating everywhere is the kind of plumbing that decides whether a tool survives its first week.

How Much Does Banquish Cost?

Banquish is free to start. Beyond that, pricing is not published. There is no pricing page on the site, and attempts to load the usual paths return 404. What the launch materials say is that the core clipping and canvas functionality is free, and you pay only when you use the AI agent features. No rates, no tiers, no numbers.

We are flagging that as a real problem rather than a footnote. Agent usage is metered against model costs, which means the eventual price could be a few dollars a month or considerably more depending on how much you lean on it, and there is currently no way to estimate your bill before committing a workflow to the tool. For a product asking you to rebuild how you work, undisclosed pricing on the paid half is the wrong trade.

For context on what the free tier is worth, adjacent tools charge real money. Miro, if you were assembling live embeds on a board, runs about $8 per user a month. Stack Browser and Arc are free but do not offer element-level clipping. Sidekick’s pro tier has run around $8 to $12 a month. Free-to-start with functioning live clipping is a strong offer, right up until you need the agent and cannot find out what it costs.

Who is Banquish Best For?

Use Banquish if your work means watching several live sources at once and your current answer is a lot of tabs and a lot of alt-tabbing. Operators monitoring dashboards, analysts tracking prices, researchers comparing listings, support leads watching a queue next to a docs page, anyone doing procurement or apartment hunting or competitor tracking. If you have ever wished you could pin just the one chart from a dashboard next to just the one field from a form, this is the tool built for that exact wish.

It also suits people who like spatial thinking. The canvas model rewards laying a task out visually, and if you are the kind of person who already uses a whiteboard tool to organise thinking, this will click quickly. If you think in lists, it will not.

Skip Banquish if you are not on Apple Silicon running macOS 14 or later, since there is no Windows version, no Intel support and no web version. Skip it if you need to know what a tool costs before adopting it, which for most teams with a budget process means skipping it for now. Skip it if the tabs you keep open are mostly static reading, because the entire premise is live, updating content and you will not get the benefit.

Security-conscious users should also think carefully. A canvas holding authenticated sessions from a dozen sites, plus an agent with permission to act across them, is a lot of trust to place in a version-one app from a solo maker. Start with things you would not mind getting wrong.

Best Banquish Alternatives

Arc remains the best free answer to tab chaos, with split view for running several sites side by side, spaces for separating contexts, and pinned tabs that persist. It cannot clip a single element out of a page, so you are always looking at whole sites rather than the pieces you care about. Pick Arc if you want a mature, free, well-supported browser and can live with page-level rather than element-level organisation.

Miro approaches the same canvas idea from the opposite end, at roughly $8 per user a month. You get a genuinely infinite collaborative board with live embeds, and multiplayer that Banquish does not offer at all. The embeds are limited to what each site permits and are nowhere near as flexible as clipping an arbitrary region. Choose Miro if the canvas needs to be shared with a team; choose Banquish if it is your personal cockpit.

Stack Browser pursued the same “cards instead of tabs” thesis and is free, letting you run multiple sites in tiled cards with separate identities. It never reached the granularity Banquish is attempting and its momentum has faded, but it is free, available today, and covers the simpler version of the job. A reasonable place to test whether you actually like working this way before betting on a newer product.

Final Verdict: Is Banquish Worth It?

Banquish is the most original launch we looked at this week. Clipping live, authenticated, still-running pieces of the web onto one canvas is a hard technical problem and a genuinely different answer to a problem every maker has. Most tab tools rearrange the deck; this one changes what the unit of work is. Add a scoped agent that only acts inside panels you chose, with confirmation before anything that matters, and the design instincts on display here are good.

Two things keep it at 7 rather than higher. The pricing on the paid half is simply not published, which makes it impossible to recommend as something to build a workflow around, and the platform requirements rule out anyone not on a recent Apple Silicon Mac. It is also very early, from a single maker, holding a lot of your logged-in sessions. Download the free tier and build one space for one real task, because the core is free and the idea is worth twenty minutes of your time. Hold off on depending on the agent until someone publishes what it costs.
