## What is Command Browser?

Command is a browser designed for making sense of the internet.

The browser comes with a web highlighter, internet journal, and integrations to major notes apps.

WEB HIGHLIGHTER
Read the internet like a book with Command’s web highlighter. Markup pages to help read webpages.

INTERNET JOURNALS
Capture the information you come across into Command Journals. Save things like memes, webpages, and more for easy access.

READING LIST
Save articles to read and annotate at a later time without filling up your bookmarks. Articles can even be added from outside the app!

INTEGRATIONS
Command integrates with major notes apps like Notion, Readwise, and OneNote so that you can remember what you read and send the things you collect to your knowledge base.

STAY FOCUSED
With highlighting, ad blocking, and no notifications, Command is designed to keep you focused while you read.

BE SECURE
With no third party servers your data stays with you. Command uses iCloud to sync – not 3rd party servers.

We use Biometric locks to keep your private tabs secure.
No sign up necessary to use Command.

### 3/5 — Good but Full of Issues

*2026-08-05, version 3.9.8*

I use it on my iPad with ios 18, since i don't want to update. I like this app especially because of the Peek feature. Which i don't have in Safari. It makes it convenient to check out links and sites without leaving a page. Though the app is also several lacking. Such as clipboard. I can't use clipboard and need to always type every link manually. If i change Websites to the Desktop Version, the page zoom doesn't work. If i text-select words, the context menu is missing “look up” and other things.

### 4/5 — Default zoom % 🙏 Notion still broken?

*2026-07-21*

Thanks for updating! Default zoom % setting please? 🙏

Not sure if still true…
- syncing to Notion fails silently (in fact claims to sync) 
 - crashes every time I long-press a piece of highlighted text, choose Journal, then OK it.

More demanding asks ... 1⃣ Notion integration needs reworking IMO so that tags made in Command stay attached to specific highlights (as they are when they are created in Command) . Currently, when sent to Notion, tags get rolled up into a bundle as a property of a URL and as a result information (that tag X was attached to highlight Y) is LOST. To fix this, I think the Highlights table needs to have each *highlight* as its entity/row/granularity, rather than URL. Ideally a related "Pages" table with URL as base would store page title and page-scope comments. If that's hard (or not possible to auto-populate related fields?) then URL and page title could just be properties of each highlight in the Highlight table, with those values repeated for each highlight in a page. 2⃣ I really miss being able to highlight also from my laptop and to see highlights I've made in the past.  A Chrome extension would be perfect. 3⃣ Data protection: I'd love to know that my Notion data isn't being exposed to accidental sharing or even erasing.

### 5/5 — Sebuah browser potensial dengan fitur unik dengan kualitas dan tampilan premium

*2026-05-29, version 3.9.8*

Saya tidak menyangka kalau browser ini belum populer, padahal fitur dan inovasinya begitu potensial dan sangat bermanfaat, browser ini memberikan saya perspektif baru sebuah cara yang tidak pernah terfikirkan sebelumnya dalam berselancar di internet modern saat ini.

### 2/5 — Broken on tahoe

*2026-01-13, version 3.9.8*

Since the latest update Command crashes upon opening in tahoe. BEFORE the update, it was working fine. Is there any way to revert the previous version?

### 2/5 — Sad. Sync broken and crashes

*2025-07-06, version 3.9.6*

So disappointing.  I ❤️d you Command but ...
syncing to Notion fails silently (in fact claims to sync) , crashes every time I long-press a piece of highlighted text, choose Journal, then OK it. Thanks!

Maybe Notion limitations make that impossible to guarantee but I suggest you at least warn of what could happen

### 5/5 — 💔SADLY_UPDATED: Command Browser Used Me And Broke My Heart.

*2025-06-16*

Oh how I Loved this app. The developer was quite prudent in maintaining this app, regularly updating the app-WITH THE HELP OF US- YES, DEDICATED USERS❣️Many of us contributed; filing bug reports, sending feedback, et. al. It was quite a crowd- The developer even highlighted which user was the TOP contributer per week! Yes, lowly us of User land. AND- we also payed for the app the old fashioned way, for Seven Bucks!

But the word User became a painfully ironic word; as over time the ratio of user contributions eclipsed the rate timing of the developer's actual work. App Updates became more spaced out. And presumably so, the Developer himself- as he ghosted me and we haven't heard from him since iOS 17. 

In conclusion before I start crying,  I've included snippet of my past feedback from our honeymoon days:

"...To note, The developer has what it takes and makes to be a role model for the rest in the apple community. Kudos. Proudly paid for this app!
UPDATE: Still using command and have watched it grow! The dev is ON TOP of their work, receptive to feedback and easy to contact.."

Developer, you have my number 😭

### 5/5 — Command Browser was the perfect browser

*2025-03-25*

Unfortunately, the devs seem to have abandoned it and don't seem interested in open sourcing it so what was once the best browser on iPhone is slowly fading away and becoming broken.

### 5/5 — Great browser for research

*2025-01-01, version 3.9.6*

This browser needs a lot more attention — very helpful to make highlights as you read on the web

### 3/5 — Sync broken. 3.9.6 crashes. Notion sync and Chrome extension please??

*2024-12-17*

I ❤️ you Command but ...
syncing one of my journals to Notion is failing, please address the crashes that occur every time I long-press a piece of highlighted text, choose Journal, then OK it. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing for Notion users!

*2024-11-24, version 3.9.6*

Command Browser has many great features, but the ability to make Notion display the full-featured desktop version is a game-changer. It works SO perfectly that it makes you wonder why on earth Notion force such a severely hobbled mobile version on all iPad users!
