## What is WebClear?

Browse a cleaner, faster, distraction-free web in Safari.

The modern web is packed with distractions: cookie consent popups, intrusive advertisements, newsletter prompts, sticky bars, autoplay media, and recommendation widgets.

WebClear brings clarity back to Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Enable it once and enjoy a cleaner browsing experience with intelligent, on-device web cleaning.

AUTOMATIC WEB CLEANING

WebClear intelligently detects and removes unwanted distractions across 10 categories:

1. Advertisements and Banners
   Hide intrusive ads, display banners, and sponsor placements.

2. Cookie Consent Banners
   Dismiss cookie consent prompts and reject non-essential cookies where supported.

3. Newsletter and Sign-up Popups
   Remove subscription overlays and lead-capture prompts.

4. Promotional and App Banners
   Clean "Open in App" prompts, discount bars, and promotional upsells.

5. Floating Social Widgets
   Remove floating share bars and distracting social buttons.

6. Recommendation Grids
   Hide clickbait widgets, sponsored recommendations, and "around the web" sections.

7. Website Notification Prompts
   Remove custom notification prompts that interrupt your browsing.

8. Autoplay Media
   Reduce unwanted autoplay video and background media.

9. Sticky and Floating Bars
   Remove floating bottom bars and sticky promotional elements.

10. Full-Page Overlays
    Dismiss intrusive modal overlays and unnecessary interruptions.

THREE CLEANING PROFILES

Choose how aggressively you want to clean the web.

Essential ad and cookie-banner cleaning for a lightweight experience.

POINT-AND-CLICK ELEMENT PICKER

See something WebClear does not automatically remove?

Use Pick Element to select an unwanted element directly on a webpage. WebClear generates a resilient rule to hide matching elements on that website in the future.

CONTROL WHAT YOU SEE

WebClear puts you in control of every cleaning decision.

* Preview hidden elements with Show Cleaned
* See why an element was hidden
* Restore hidden elements instantly
* Manage custom rules
* Create website-specific allowlists
* Adjust your cleaning profile whenever you want

DESIGNED TO PROTECT IMPORTANT CONTENT

WebClear uses heuristic detection and safety rules designed to avoid interfering with essential webpage functionality, including:

* Article headlines and body content
* Navigation and menus
* Search fields
* Login and authentication forms
* Password fields
* Shopping carts and checkout interfaces
* Payment buttons and forms
* Native media players
* Accessibility-related regions and skip links

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

WebClear is built around on-device processing.

* No browsing history collection
* No accounts or logins required
* No telemetry SDKs
* No third-party tracking
* No third-party server processing
* Web cleaning happens on your device

Your browsing stays yours.

WebClear - a cleaner web, your way.

Clean up Safari and get back to what you actually came to read.
