## What is Goldy?

Goldy brings you private web browsing with a single click.

They say that goldfish have no memory, and Goldy is no exception! Goldy lets you use the internet in private. Visit any sites you want, and whenever you're done surfing, just hit the home button. Your web history, cookies, and local web storage are instantly removed, so no one else who picks up your device can see what you've been doing.

At the same time, your Safari web history and cookies remain intact.

Anyone who shares their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with other people can benefit from Goldy. You can use Goldy to:

- shop for presents online without ruining the surprise
- use your employer-provided device to look for jobs or other "not safe for work" material without alerting your employer
- access your bank or other accounts without leaving any trace of where you've been logging in.
... AND MORE!

Goldy is free software, contains no third-party advertisements, and doesn't use any analytics or other tracking tools to see how you're using it.

### 5/5 — No one can see what I've been doing

*2015-09-11, version 1.1*

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)	( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)

### 5/5 — Very Handy

*2012-07-17*

Easy to use. Initial page should be shown on initial then one should see simple navigation/logo screen into next update. Otherwise nicely done.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2012-01-03*

App is very easy to use and helpful

### 2/5 — intro screen ruins the privacy

*2011-09-16*

I like the look and functionality of this browser, but the explanation on the intro screen should not be there, otherwise it's obvious the user is hiding something. Please change that and twill be 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Private browsing

*2011-08-19*

Goldy does exactly what it says it does - fully functional browsing, absolutely no memory. Great for reviewing hi-tech secret online documents without others seeing such documents in your history.

### 5/5 — Goldy, great idea!

*2011-08-19*

This is a very clever idea with a terrific implementation. Nicely done...
