Priver is a private browser that automatically locks and protects your browsing history and bookmarks. • On the home screen, it appears with a calculator-style icon and name, and can be used as a regular calculator at launch. • When you enter your passcode, the app switches to browser mode, allowing secure and private internet browsing with its built-in browser. Your history and bookmarks are stored only within the app and are never accessible to other apps or devices. • When the screen is turned off or you return to the home screen, browser mode automatically closes and reverts to calculator mode, keeping your privacy safe even after use. • No account registration or personal information is required — you can start using it right away. Note: On first launch, a tutorial explains how to set and enter your passcode. If you use multiple iOS devices, please complete the tutorial on each device.

Redcue is a remote control for OBS Studio. Leave the keyboard, keep the stream. Connect over your own local network and take the board with you: SCENES Cut or fade between scenes from anywhere in the room. See what is live and what is queued at a glance. AUDIO Ride every input on a proper fader. Mute, unmute, and watch the meters move in real time. STREAM AND RECORD Start and stop the stream, the recording, and the replay buffer. Bitrate, dropped frames, CPU, and disk space stay on screen while you work. YOUR LAYOUT The dashboard is yours to arrange. Drag the panels you use into reach and put the rest away. THEMES A built-in theme editor, so the app matches your setup instead of fighting it. MULTIPLE MACHINES Save every OBS you connect to and switch between them. Passwords live in the iOS Keychain. FINDS OBS FOR YOU Redcue searches your network for a running OBS. You can also type an address or scan the connection QR code OBS generates. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Native SwiftUI, adaptive layouts, full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support. FREE, AND FREE MEANS FREE Every feature above is free. There is no subscription, no trial, no paywall, and no account. Settings has an optional tip jar - three one-time purchases that unlock nothing and simply say thanks. NO SERVER, NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING Redcue talks only to your own computer. Nothing is collected, nothing is transmitted anywhere else, and there is no analytics or advertising code of any kind.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Private Browser at none against Redcue's 3. Redcue's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
