Silim is an RSS reader with a real web browser built in, and blocking that
works in both.
THE READER
Suggestions are there from the first launch, in your own language. Subscribe to
any site that publishes a feed, or to one that does not: Silim can build a feed
from the page itself. Folders, saved articles, unread counts, and a list that
remembers what you have already seen.
THE BROWSER
Not a viewer and not a Safari extension. A real browser: an address bar, a
search engine, tabs, bookmarks, history and a private mode, and it opens any
site on the web. It also shows you every cookie a site has set, one by one,
which lasts and which does not, and lets you throw them away.
BUILT FOR A THUMB
The address bar is the control panel. Flick it up to see every page you have
open. Flick it down to go back to the start screen. Drag sideways along it to
move from one open page to the next. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen
for the menu, in from the left edge for the reader. Nothing is buried in a
corner you have to stretch for.
BLOCKING
Filter-list blocking is built in rather than added on. Requests on the filter
lists are refused and the elements those lists name are hidden. Nothing is ever
taken off a page: no audio, no video, no download.
MEDIA PAGES
A handful of media sites have a shape worth knowing about, so Silim lays their
pages out as a comfortable list and plays a video in a layer of its own, with
picture in picture, playback speed and a quality ceiling you set for Wi-Fi and
for mobile data separately.
YOUR OWN FIGURES
Time on screen, articles read, pages opened, and every megabyte split by
connection so you can see what mobile data actually went on. A level that moves
with what you do.
KEPT IN YOUR OWN iCLOUD, IF YOU ASK FOR IT
The backup is off until you turn it on, and it goes to your own private iCloud
database, which means your account and nobody else's servers. Silim has no
account, no server and no analytics. Nothing you do here is sent anywhere.
WHAT SILIM COSTS
Everything is unlocked for fourteen days, with no account and no card. After
that, Silim Pro keeps all of it, monthly, yearly, or once and for all. There is
no advertising anywhere in the app, and nothing is ever sold about you, because
nothing is ever collected.
Silim Pro Monthly ($2.99) is an auto-renewing subscription billed every month.
Silim Pro Yearly ($17.99) is an auto-renewing subscription billed every year.
Silim Pro Lifetime ($24.99) is a single payment and does not renew. Payment is
charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription
renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of
the current period, and the account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours
before that period ends. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled at any time
in your Apple Account settings.
