## What is Silim?

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.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-01

A big step for the browser.

- Translate Page: the page changes language in place, on the device, with nothing sent anywhere. Pick the language, your most used ones first.
- Reader: the article alone, in Silim's colours, with adjustable text size.
- Apple Intelligence summary of a page or an RSS article.
- Downloads: files saved in Silim and in the Files app.
- Per site: text size, desktop version, forced dark mode, camera and microphone.
- Long press a link: open in a new tab, in the background or privately, with a preview.
- Reopen a closed tab.
- Save as PDF and print.
- Clean links: tracking parameters removed from addresses.
- Suggestions: propose ideas and vote for other people's.
- RSS card: clear all, swipe an article away, choose which sources it shows.
- DuckDuckGo search from the home field.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-28

One purchase, yours for good
Silim no longer has subscriptions. Try everything free for 14 days, then buy Silim Pro once and keep it. The purchase screen now says exactly what Pro includes.

Silim on your home screen
Put any of Silim's widgets on your home screen: favorites, history, an RSS folder of your choice, watched prices and more. It is never sold: it opens during your free trial, and with Silim Pro once 5 friends you invited use Silim. Invite them from the new card at the top of Settings.

Fixes and improvements
- Price watch reads the right price on the page, and waits to see a new price twice before telling you: no more false alerts.
- Invitation links open Silim directly and say what happened.
- Clearer Settings, with the home screen widget at the top.
- Many smaller fixes.
