# Browser

Make your web browser’s actions available in the Shortcuts app by adopting schemas for common browsing actions.

## Discussion

The `.browser` domain defines app schemas that provide a
structured representation for common browsing actions and content.
Apply schemas in the `.browser` domain to make your browser’s functionality available as actions in the Shortcuts app.
Schemas in this domain don’t make your conforming types discoverable by Apple Intelligence and Siri.

> Tip: Xcode generates a template implementation when you type `browser_` and select a schema from the suggestions list.

For more information about app schemas, see [App schema domains](/documentation/AppIntents/app-schema-domains).
