The Browser app icon

A fast, private browser for iPhone & iPad.

No accounts. No ads. No analytics. Your history, bookmarks, tabs, and even the AI models run on your device — nothing is sent to us, because there is no “us” server to send it to.

Private by default

Privacy isn’t a setting. It’s the architecture.

There are no accounts to make and no servers that receive your data — because the app ships with no analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting code at all.

🛡️

Blocked from launch

A built-in ad & tracker blocker (EasyList + EasyPrivacy) and anti-fingerprinting are on the first time you open the app — no setup, no add-ons.

📴

Local by default

History, bookmarks, tabs, favourites, and downloaded AI models live only on your device. iCloud Sync, if you turn it on, uses your own private iCloud.

🕶️

Real private tabs

No history, no search suggestions, kept out of the on-disk cache, and cloud AI disabled. Lock them behind Face ID.

🔑

Keys in the Keychain

Any AI provider keys you add are stored in the device Keychain, never in plain settings. Your passwords live in an on-device vault behind Face ID.

On-device intelligence

An AI that reads the page — without the page leaving the phone.

Download a small language model and get summaries, answers, and cited research fully offline and free. Prefer the cloud? Bring your own key; it goes straight to your provider, never through us.

Summaries that lead somewhere

  • Summarize any page into clean bullet points, then tap an “Ask about this” chip to dig deeper — the summary hands straight off to a full conversation.
  • Ask the Browser searches the web, reads the results, and answers with tappable source chips so you can check the receipts.
  • Long articles are read section-by-section and folded into one summary — a fast small model does the heavy lifting, your chosen model writes the finish.

Make it yours

A start page that looks like you set it up on purpose.

Reorderable widgets over the background you choose — including a widget that renders any text as the living dot-matrix wordmark you see across this page.

Dot Matrix widget

The animated dot-matrix wordmark, as a widget. Type any text, size it, pick the dot colour — transparent, so your background shows through.

New
🎨

Backgrounds & icons

Gradient, solid, time-of-day, animated colour-wave, or your own photo — plus a set of alternate app icons in the DotMatrix and Facets marks.

🧩

Favourites & frequently visited

Real favicons with letter-monogram fallbacks, an editable quick-links grid, and your most-visited sites — laid out how you like.

🪟

Glass, done right

A neutral liquid-glass bottom bar and Arc-style tab cards, with live controls for material, tint, radius, and shadow.

Everything a browser needs

The essentials, sweated.

The parts you use every day — done to Safari-parity and then a little past it.

🌐

Offline translation

On-device page translation across 29 European language pairs. Languages download as needed; nothing is sent off the phone.

🔐

Password manager

Detect, save, and autofill logins from an on-device vault behind Face ID — no third-party account required.

📦

Import & export

Bring bookmarks, reading list, history — and, opt-in, passwords — in from other browsers, or take everything out as a single .zip.

🧩

Web extensions

Install compatible extensions in-page (WKWebExtension), with per-permission and per-site access controls.

📖

Reader & read modes

A clean reader view with sepia/light/dark themes and serif or mono type, plus hide-distracting-items per site.

🗂️

Tabs, the good way

Arc-style stacked cards or a grid, pinch-to-open, swipe-to-close, private tray, and hand-off of open tabs across your devices.
