Wavebox is a UK‑based software company (trading name of Bookry Ltd) that develops a Chromium‑based productivity browser built to organize multi‑account SaaS workflows for professionals and teams. The company positions Wavebox as an app‑centric workspace—with Spaces, Groups, boosted apps, notifications, and performance controls—available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Headquarters are listed in Bangor, Isle of Anglesey, United Kingdom; the product and brand operate across the EMEA region.
Wavebox’s origins trace back to WMail, an Electron‑based desktop client for Gmail/Inbox started by Thomas Beverley in 2016; it was relaunched as Wavebox in March 2017. The product later migrated from Electron to a Chromium fork in 2019, rebranded as Wavebox 10 (with Wavebox Classic remaining the older line). This technical pivot enabled release parity with Chrome and deeper integration of browser‑level features.
Public profiles and founder bios corroborate that Thomas Beverley is a co‑founder and technical lead; Susan Davies and Rhys Jones are also listed as co‑founders in official materials and community/product pages. The About page highlights milestone years: WMail (2016), move to Chromium (2019), first browser with GPT‑3 (2020), Teams reboot (2023), and a major UI/Spaces relaunch (2024).
Wavebox’s core offering is the Wavebox productivity browser, augmented by:
AI features (Brainbox, built‑in assistant; support for GPT‑5 Mini/Claude; custom API keys; contextual skills via right‑click).
Wavebox claims 120,000+ professionals use the browser—a marketing benchmark repeated on the main site.

There are no public records of acquisitions by Wavebox as of January 2026. Competitive intelligence databases and public company trackers provide no acquisition disclosures or press releases tied to Wavebox; the company appears to expand organically via feature releases, integrations, and team products rather than M&A.

Product expansion has focused on deepening the browser stack (Chromium parity, split/dock views, integrated AI, on‑page translation, ARM Windows beta) and enterprise‑style management (Wavebox Live templates, centralized onboarding).
Wavebox ships updates frequently. Stable changelogs in 2025 highlight:
Ongoing Chromium version parity, build stability fixes, and UX improvements.
The Updates & Releases hub explains the cadence: approximately bi-weekly Chromium updates, approximately four-weekly feature releases, plus urgent patches. Users can enable auto-download or update manually via the app or download page.
Wavebox communicates a culture around independence (non‑VC funded), privacy, and user‑led development. The About page stresses zero tracking/ads, compliant operations (monitored/audited toward SOC 2/ISO 27001), and frequent engagement with users through surveys and the knowledge hub.
Public materials further emphasize privacy controls (Privacy Lock, optional Sync that keeps cookies/history local), and clear GDPR processes (account data deletion on request). This stance aligns with its “focused, ad‑free platform” narrative.
The company also appears in EU policy contexts as Bookry Ltd/Wavebox, signaling interest in broader digital‑policy discussions (AI Act, DMA, DSA).
