The web, on your terms. Ad blocking, video controls, guided reading, bilingual pages and extensions in one browser. Search, watch, read and organize. ADBLOCK AND POPUP CONTROL Filters and behavior detection reduce ads, popups and redirects. Choose three detection levels. Results vary; not all ads or video ads can be blocked. VIDEO SPEED AND FLOATING PLAYBACK Supported web videos offer 0.5–16× options, floating playback, PiP, full screen, loop, frame capture and a sleep timer. Features vary by site, media and device. No DRM bypass. THREE FINGERS FOR GUIDED SPEED READING Tap with three fingers for paced article reading. Adjust speed, phrase length, pauses and following. Includes text-to-speech; reading and video speeds are separate. Speed reading on regular pages requires Atom Pro; Home examples remain free. FOUR FINGERS FOR BILINGUAL PAGES Tap with four fingers to switch between original text and in-place bilingual translation. Use translation alongside guided reading. Engines, language packs, network needs and language availability depend on your system and settings. Try both gesture examples from Home. SCRIPTS, SCRIPTING AND EXTENSIONS Create or import compatible UserScripts and Web Extensions for translation, Markdown, formatting, hiding distractions or removing tracking parameters. APIs and compatibility vary. Third-party paid services are not included. Browse Greasy Fork and import compatible UserScripts. IMPORT AND ORGANIZE BOOKMARKS Import bookmarks.html exported by desktop Chrome or compatible Netscape HTML from Edge, Firefox or Safari. Keep folders or classify locally. Preview duplicates, edit categories and confirm before merging; existing bookmarks remain. Snapshots allow undo. Search, manage folders and export HTML, or use the single Bookmark Import entry on Home, including a guided demo. Local classification uses no cloud AI. YOUR OWN LAN PROXY Discover, save and verify an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy you configure on your local network. See proxy status in the address bar. Requires your own working proxy, network permission and iOS/iPadOS 17+. This is not a VPN, a server service or a system-wide proxy. Setup and checks are free; ongoing proxy browsing is included in unified Atom Pro. SEARCH, AI SUMMARIES AND EVERYDAY TOOLS Voice search, custom engines, Home shortcuts and recent visits. AI summaries use your external account. Includes screenshots, find, auto-refresh, QR, downloads, files, ZIP, Reading List, Markdown, private tabs and night mode. Optional iCloud sync for bookmarks and selected settings. PLANS AND AVAILABILITY One Atom Pro unlocks full filtering rules, LAN proxy browsing, scripts and compatible extensions, Chrome HTML bookmark import, and speed reading and translation on regular pages. Home reading and translation examples remain free. Choose monthly, yearly or lifetime access. Eligible monthly subscribers receive a 7-day free trial, then renew automatically at the monthly price shown at checkout. This trial is not included with yearly or lifetime purchases. Cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account and restore purchases in the app. Mini includes EasyList China; Pro adds EasyList, EasyPrivacy, anti-circumvention and annoyance filters maintained through app updates. Web Extensions and dependent AI tools require iOS/iPadOS 18.4+. AI summaries require signing into a supported provider; requested page content is sent there. Limits and results vary. Some extension interfaces are currently Chinese; optional tools may need separate import. Download only authorized content. Private tabs do not guarantee anonymity.

About

SoundMeter

Read full description

Understand the sound around you and keep a record of each measurement. SoundMeter combines live readings, a trend chart and local history with optional noise dose and camera tools. MEASURE AND COMPARE • View estimated A-weighted sound levels after calibration. • Follow minimum, energy-average (LAeq) and maximum readings, plus effective measurement time. • Start, pause, resume and finish a session without losing its statistics. • Save, rename and revisit measurement records on your device. CAPTURE THE MOMENT WITH PRO • View estimated cumulative noise dose during the measured period using NIOSH or OSHA HC settings. • Take photos with the sound reading and capture time written into the image. • Record videos with changing sound readings embedded in the picture and sound from the scene. Each recording is limited to five minutes. • Save or share completed photos and videos through system controls. CALIBRATION AND CLEAR STATUS A reference sound level meter is required for manual calibration. Without a matching calibration profile, SoundMeter displays input level in dBFS, not environmental dBA, and does not calculate noise dose. Paused, interrupted or invalid input is excluded from valid measurement time. Measurement pauses when the app goes into the background or the screen locks. FREE MEASUREMENT AND OPTIONAL PRO Basic measurement, statistics, trends and basic record saving are available without a subscription. Pro unlocks noise dose and photo/video capture with embedded readings. Weekly, monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscription options are available; prices and billing periods are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation. Subscriptions renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Previously saved records and finished media remain accessible after a subscription expires. No account is required. Measurement records and captured media are stored locally on your device. Ordinary measurements do not save raw audio; video records sound only when you choose to record. SoundMeter provides estimated environmental noise readings for reference and recording. Results depend on the device, input route, calibration and measurement conditions. It is not a certified sound level meter and does not provide medical advice or regulatory compliance conclusions. Noise dose covers only the valid measured period, not your full day.
