## What is Umbric?

Website data does not carry over between sessions — and the moment someone might look, the whole screen hides.

• Reduces ads and trackers with network rules and on-page cleanup
• Cookies, cache, and web storage do not persist between sessions; history stays on your device
• The moment you switch away, the screen auto-camouflages
• One-tap wipe clears the categories you choose

There are moments you'd rather not show your screen to anyone.

A stranger's glance on a packed train, someone walking behind you in a café,
the seconds your phone sits unattended, a brief hand-off to someone else.
In those moments, leaving no trace and showing nothing matter.

Umbric leaves no trace and shows nothing — an iOS browser that keeps
cookies, cache, and web storage out of persistent storage, blocks ads
and trackers, and auto-camouflages its screen when moved to the background.

Key features
- Non-persistent storage for cookies, cache, and web storage (wiped between sessions)
- Browsing history stays on-device only, never sent externally — wipe it with one tap
- Private Mode: Face ID-protected, separate space for bookmarks and history
- Two-layer ad & tracker blocking (network rules + DOM-level removal)
- Stops pop-ups and ads that open new tabs on their own
- Fingerprinting protection (Canvas / WebGL / AudioContext / Navigator)
- HTTPS enforcement, JavaScript dialog blocking, camera / mic access denied
- One-tap wipe: clear history, cookies, cache, and more by category
- Focus Filter integration: switches into Private Mode automatically
- Recently closed tabs, in-page search, reader mode, video download

About the name
"Umbric" combines Umbra (Latin for shadow) with the idea of a deft, well-considered move.
Sit beside you without taking up space, slip out of sight the moment a glance comes near —
your privacy, kept by your own hand.

Leaving no trace isn't about deceiving anyone.
It's about taking care of your own privacy.

No trace. Nothing shown. — Umbric.
