## What is Psylo?

The most private browser for iPhone. Every tab is completely isolated: separate cookies, storage, and its own IP address from 40+ global proxy servers. Built by Mysk, featured on TechRadar.

BROWSE THE WEB IN SILOS  
- True Tab Isolation: Every tab is its own “silo” with separate storage, cookies, and even IP address.
- Per-Silo Proxy: Assign any of our 40+ global proxy locations to each silo - place one in Canada, another in Germany, a third in Brazil, and more.

FAST, NO-LOG, PRIVATE PROXIES  
- Global Proxy Network: Access 40+ high-performance proxy servers worldwide, and no logs are ever kept.  
- Built-in Security: Automatic HTTPS upgrades, DNS-level tracker blocking, and more — no configuration required.

ALWAYS-ON, SELF-CONTAINED, PRIVACY 
- Silos never share data and are always connected to our proxies, so you’re protected without having to remember a VPN switch.
- Psylo does not interfere or change your system's settings or other installed VPNs — all protections live inside the app

ANTI-TRACKING BEYOND A VPN  
- Deep Integration: Psylo’s proxy network and browser work together to block fingerprinting that VPNs can’t offer.  
- Smart Location Spoofing: Psylo matches your system's locale and timezone to your proxy’s location, preventing a common tracking method that would reveal your location even with a VPN turned on.
- Content Filtering: Block ads, cookie banners, app-install popups, and other web annoyances.
- URL Tracking Cleaner: Automatically strips tracking parameters from URLs as you browse.

PRIVATE WEB APPS  
- Ditch native apps: Use web versions (PWAs) of X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and enjoy Psylo’s full privacy protections.  
- Multiple accounts: Run side-by-side instances without cross-tracking.

EPHEMERAL AND PERSISTENT MODES  
- Persistent Silos: For long-term browsing and web apps.
- Ephemeral Silos: Auto-purge on close for one-off sessions.

NO-FRILLS, PRIVACY FIRST
- Zero Web3 tokens, no AI agents — just privacy.
- Detailed SSL/TLS certificate viewer
- Search Engines: Set a default search engine or add your own custom engines.

### 4/5 — Yess good Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦 app Very good concept

*2026-08-15*

Amazing app just wish it had desktop site and more proxys or else it would be perfect for my use case

### 2/5 — Trash

*2026-08-14, version 1.3.1*

It’s complete garbage

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-08-13, version 1.3.1*

Good concept but don’t worth it at all

### 5/5 — Serious Compatibility Issue After Psylo 1.3.1 Update

*2026-08-13, version 1.3.1*

Hi Psylo Team,

I’d like to report a serious compatibility issue I’ve experienced since updating from Psylo 1.3.0 to 1.3.1.

With version 1.3.0, I had very good compatibility with certain websites. However, immediately after updating to 1.3.1, I started experiencing significantly more account restrictions on some websites under otherwise similar usage conditions.

I noticed that 1.3.1 introduced several privacy-related changes, including disabling WebTransport and WebAuthn by default, as well as completely disabling DNS Prefetch.

I understand the privacy and IP-leak concerns behind these changes. However, I’m concerned that completely removing certain normal WebKit/Safari behaviors can make a Psylo environment behave noticeably differently from a regular Safari environment.

WebTransport and WebAuthn can at least be re-enabled through the Advanced settings. DNS Prefetch, however, appears to have been completely disabled without an option for the user to restore the previous behavior.

Would it be possible to add a per-Silo option such as:

Disable DNS Prefetch

so users can choose whether DNS Prefetch should be enabled or disabled, just like WebTransport and WebAuthn?

For users who prioritize maximum privacy protection, it could remain disabled by default. But users who need maximum website compatibility could choose to enable it and accept the associated privacy trade-off.

In my case, the difference between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 has been substantial enough that I would strongly prefer the ability to reproduce the networking behavior of 1.3.0 as closely as possible.

I’m not claiming that DNS Prefetch alone is responsible for the account restrictions I’ve observed. However, because the issue appeared immediately after upgrading from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1, I believe having the ability to individually control these new restrictions would be extremely useful for compatibility testing and troubleshooting.

Additionally, would it be possible for the Psylo team to provide an official way for affected users to temporarily install or downgrade to version 1.3.0?

For example, if possible, you could provide a previous 1.3.0 build through TestFlight or another official installation method. This would allow us to directly compare 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 under the same conditions and determine whether the compatibility issue is specifically related to the changes introduced in 1.3.1.

Even if providing an older build is only temporary and intended for troubleshooting purposes, it would be extremely helpful.

Please consider adding a DNS Prefetch toggle in a future update and, if possible, providing access to the previous 1.3.0 build for compatibility testing.

### 1/5 — Expensive. Unethical developers.

*2026-08-02, version 1.3.0*

I initially wrote a review giving it 3 stars because, despite the expensive price and annoying yellow block saying your subscription expired, you could still use the basic offline features (which don’t cost the devs any money) with your own proxy or none at all. 

Days later they updated the app and completely blocked all basic features unless you pay $11/mo. There was no mention of this in the changelog. They basically tricked people into updating and took away 100% of the previously free features. 

I’ll be deleting all of my comments on social media recommending this app for privacy, and I’ll mention that the developers are unethical and untrustworthy any time I see the app mentioned.

### 5/5 — The pop up ads are driving me crazy!

*2026-07-31, version 1.3.0*

There is a bud in this build as per customer service.  They are working on it.  I was pleasantly surprised to receive a message back in 9 mins-- the support is amazing so far.  I am a paid subscriber.

### 3/5 — Great but way too expensive for me

*2026-07-26*

I understand the need to cover the cost of proxies, and $70/yr isn’t too unreasonable for that. But I’m sure plenty of people like myself don’t need the proxies. 

I already pay for a VPN and I’d generally prefer to be anonymized by sharing an IP with thousands of other users on a popular VPN, rather than using a relatively unique proxy endpoint. 

The most useful features of this app for me are the silos to store website data in isolated containers and the ad blockers for popular sites. While the app is technically usable without a subscription if you don’t use a proxy, there’s a large yellow block taking up the top 25% of the screen that says “Subscription Expired.” It makes using the web pretty frustrating. You also cannot create any new containers without an active subscription. 

I like the app and want to support the devs, but paying $10.99/mo or $70/yr is way too much, especially if I’m using it without the proxies at no marginal cost to the developers. I hope they’ll consider a much cheaper tier without proxy access that can still help fund updates and maintenance of ad/tracking filters. I’m quite poor but I value my privacy and I would pay $10 or $20/yr for the basic functionality of silos and ad-blocking.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for downloading Psylo. We understand subscription pricing is an issue for many and we're discussing alternatives to offer Psylo at a cheaper price, though we still haven't settled on what that could look like.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-07-22, version 1.2.2*

If your workflow requires this and mine does especially when clicking links on my device knowing that whatever cookies or trackers are in place on said websites I’m covered 😉 Patiently awaiting Linux browser 🤔😊

### 4/5 — Good but price isn’t worth it

*2026-07-07, version 1.2.2*

I do thing tab isolation at this level is good privacy feature, but compared to other free privacy focused browsers I just can justify a subscription. I know stuff like this takes time which requires money but I’m not sure how many people out there are willing to pay for a browser, especially if they are satisfied with the level of privacy already offered by others. Overall I hope to see this grow, but just can see myself paying for it

### 5/5 — Great app & team... But pricing not for everyone.

*2026-07-06*

Probably the devs didn't setup some kind of "regional pricing" (which could end up being privacy invasive, I must note). Even for such an important app it might be for about every human user, the current price for an iOS-only and not open-source app (at least as of now) makes it out of reach for me, due to the currency/exchange. Should it feature some pricing flexibility, I'd be glad to subscribe (maybe like a "lite" tier, where the user provides the VPN routing OR VPN api key/license, or Regional Pricing, or so many possibilities).

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-04

Psylo 1.3.1 focuses on strengthening privacy protections and improving reliability.

• Deeper locale & timezone masking: Language and timezone protection now extends deeper into the browser stack.
• Improved website compatibility: Better compatibility with websites that use bot-detection services such as Cloudflare Turnstile, reducing false "bot" detections without compromising privacy protections.

Improvements

• Download confirmation: Review site-initiated downloads before they begin, with progress toasts and easier sharing or opening files in the Files app.
• Link previews: Long-press any link to preview its URL before opening or copying it.
• Improved error pages: Failed page loads now display a clearer error screen with a retry button.
• Reload from the silo list: Reload a silo directly from its context menu without opening it first.
• Paste & Go: The address bar and Quick Launch now make Paste & Go easier to access through the context menu.
