Hi everyone,

I checked Perplexity’s official Comet docs and found documentation for Shortcuts—created by typing / in the search bar or sidecar, and managed in Settings → Shortcuts or comet://settings/shortcuts.

I could not find an official “Install as app” flow like Chrome’s app/PWA install behavior. Comet is Chromium-based, but I still do not see documentation for turning a site into a standalone app window on Mac. Has anyone on macOS found a working path such as three-dot menu → Create shortcut / Install app / More tools, or confirmed that this feature is not exposed yet in current Comet builds?

If not, what’s the best Mac workaround for app-like launching from the Dock? Apple’s docs say regular apps can be added to the Dock by dragging them there, but that does not answer whether a website can become a separate Comet app window.

Thank you!

Hi all, I had an issue with my MacBook that the key was broken that I needed to login and I had the accessory lock turned on that prevented new external keyboards from getting connected.

On Saturday, I went to Apple Genius bar and the guy there was literally a genius and managed through some terminal commands to help me login to the guest account first, then reset the admin account password and now I can use my laptop normally again with an external keyboard.

However, ever since we logged me in through that process, everything was logged out on my Mac:

- every window in my Comet browser

- every workspace in Slack (workspace URLs itself still there, just not logged out)

- ChatGPT / Claude etc

- Notes in Apple Notes were deleted

Any ideas why this might have happened and what we can do about it? Esp to restore Apple Notes?

Looking forward to hearing from you!
