Ewig — Save the web, forever. How often have you saved a website, come back to it later, and found it gone? Pages move, paywalls appear, links rot, and your favourite content quietly disappears. Ewig fixes that. When you save a page, Ewig captures a full-screen screenshot and its complete HTML — a real, lasting copy you can open any time, even if the original is long gone. Ewig is German for forever, and that's exactly the point. YOUR DATA, YOUR FILES Everything is saved to a plain iCloud folder as human-readable Markdown, PNG and HTML. No proprietary format, no lock-in. Your library outlives the app — and drops straight into an Obsidian vault. SYNC EVERYWHERE, FREE Free iCloud sync keeps every save in step across all your devices. No account to create, no subscription to pay. NATIVE ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE Built in Swift for iPhone, iPad, Mac — and even Apple Watch. Fast, native, and right at home on each. SAVE STRAIGHT FROM YOUR BROWSER Safari and Chrome extensions let you save and organise pages directly as you browse. BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN A gorgeous glass interface built on the very latest Apple frameworks, with full dark mode support. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No payment. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing leaves your devices except through your own iCloud. SIMPLE ON PURPOSE No tags. No AI. No clutter. Just clean, dependable bookmarking that solves the one real problem with bookmarks: the websites you love going offline. Ewig. Keep what matters, forever. Requires iOS26, iPadOS26, watchOS 26 or later ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1 — 2026-07-30 Reliability release: sync you can trust, captures that propagate themselves, and a calmer grid. ### Sync - Fixed the bug that could show an empty library on a fresh device while iCloud was still delivering — bookmarks no longer vanish and reappear during the first sync, and the grid now says "Syncing Your Library" instead of pretending you're a new user. - The app no longer creates a rival empty archive when opened before your library finished downloading from iCloud. - Downloads are prioritized: bookmark metadata and covers land first; page archives, PDFs and videos stream in behind them. - iPhone and iPad now react to CloudKit changes the moment they arrive. ### Capture - Saving from the Safari extension now reaches your other devices — and gets archived on your Mac — without opening the app on the saving device (CloudKit relay + silent push, with a background-refresh backstop). - The share sheet now honors your synced default archive mode on iPhone. ### Interface - Every bookmark carries a tiny color sketch of its cover: a brand-new device paints the whole grid in your covers' colors before a single image downloads, and loading cards show the sketch instead of a gray shimmer. - Fixed cover thumbnails flashing gray during sweeps and scrolling; images now stay on screen until their replacement is ready. - Fixed the sidebar text flicker when switching collections on macOS. - Smoother scrolling and fewer whole-grid refreshes during background activity. ### 2.0 — 2026-07-06 - Smarter page capture — snapshots wait for pages to fully settle, retry through interstitials, and are quality-checked before they're saved. - Cookie and consent banners are now resolved automatically before capture. - Covers are now generated automatically on-device. - Redesigned save popup and improved onboarding for the Safari extension. - Fixed the Archive tab on iPad. - Big stability and performance work: smoother syncing with far less grid flashing. - Plus refinements and fixes throughout. ### 1.7 — 2026-06-24 • Capture custom cover videos • Find duplicate links • Plus refinements and fixes throughout. • (iPad only) View bookmarks your way open the detail panel as a side panel, a floating popover, or full screen. • (iPad only) A unified search palette — press ⌘K to search your whole library and run quick actions from one place. ### 1.5 — 2026-06-18 Spot dead links, archive less, sync more. • Dead Link Finder — scan your library and catch bookmarks whose pages are gone (••• → Find Broken Links). 
• Archive only what you want — covers always saved; HTML + screenshots now opt-in per save. 
• Smaller archives — HEIC by default, plus a new Clear Archive Data button.
 • Settings that follow you — your default archive mode now syncs across devices.
 • New collections straight from the Safari save popup. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-17 No release notes. ## More apps by XY UNLIMITED PTY LTD - [EvilEye - Smile to unlock](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/evileye-smile-to-unlock/id6747970724) All apps by XY UNLIMITED PTY LTD: https://appshunter.io/developer/1823633107 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
