The world you know, a fresh interface

It follows the established viewer's behaviour (same protocol, same rules, same defaults) while rethinking how the windows look and work.

Conversations

Chats like a messenger: bubbles, pictures, and teleport offers or gifts right in the thread.

Notification center

Unrolls from the bell, with the history of everything you missed.

Inventory explorer

Widens into folders, details and filters, with each item's rights at a glance.

Places

Favourites, landmarks and history in one list, with a preview of each place.

One search

Residents, places, events, groups and classifieds, with details beside the results.

Resource monitor

Shows where every millisecond, megabyte and kilobit goes.

Legacy toggles

Prefer the old layout for a window? Switch any redesigned window back to the legacy UI.

Creator tools

Building and land tools, photo tools, auto hover height and plenty of quality-of-life touches.

Grid status

Shows the grid's status feed and flags new entries, so residents know when something is up.

Where it comes from

Confluence Viewer is a modified version of Aurora Viewer, kept in step with Aurora's work and adjusted for OpenSim grids and the Confluence project. It is not made or supported by the Aurora Viewer team.

Aurora is a new codebase, not a fork: many of its parts are Rust ports of code from the Second Life viewer, credited file by file.

Early development (0.x). Usable for exploring, chatting and testing. Some features still await live-grid validation.
