Your Wi-Fi, your internet provider and a crowd of ad trackers can all see what you do online. Windscribe, the private VPN for iPhone and iPad, closes the curtains. One tap hides your IP address, encrypts your connection and blocks ads and trackers. 110 million+ registered users since 2016, and we've been acquired by exactly nobody. WHAT YOU GET • Hide your IP. Websites see one of our servers, not you. It works like a proxy, except everything is encrypted. • Be anywhere. Pick from 135+ cities in 69+ countries, tap, done. • Safe public Wi-Fi. Airport, hotel, coffee shop: your traffic is encrypted before it leaves your phone. Mark a network as Secured and Windscribe turns on automatically every time you join it. • Fewer ads, less tracking. R.O.B.E.R.T., our blocker (yes, he has a name), stops ads, trackers, malware and phishing sites in every app, not just your browser. • Get past blocked networks. Stealth and WStunnel make your connection look like ordinary web traffic at school, at work or in a hotel. • Stay connected. Always On VPN reconnects you when the signal drops or you switch networks. WHERE PEOPLE CONNECT Iceland and Switzerland for the privacy-minded. Germany and France on match day. Japan for anime nights. The US, the UK, Canada and Australia to feel at home anywhere. WHY YOU CAN TRUST US • No identifying logs. We don't keep your IP address, browsing history or DNS queries. We can't share what we don't have. • Our servers run on RAM, so nothing identifying is ever written to disk. • Open-source apps, independent security audits and a public transparency report. • Self-funded. No investors asking us to cash in on your data. PROTOCOLS WireGuard with post-quantum encryption, IKEv2, OpenVPN, and Stealth with AES-256 encryption, plus WStunnel. Let the app pick for you or choose your own. Connect from a widget or with Siri. STARTER AND PRO Starter: 10 GB a month on servers in 10 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, Germany and France. No credit card. No ads. Pro: no data limit, every location in 69+ countries and port forwarding. No hidden fees. No shady re-billing. ONE ACCOUNT FOR ALL YOUR APPLE DEVICES Use it on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, on as many devices as you like. Download Windscribe and tap connect. One tap. You're in.

Merge, split, sign, redact and scan PDFs — fifteen tools that run entirely on your iPhone, with no account and no upload. FIFTEEN TOOLS, ALL ON YOUR DEVICE • Scan to PDF — use the camera to make a cropped, straightened PDF • Merge PDFs — combine several documents into one • Split PDF — break one document into several • Extract Pages — pull a range into its own PDF • Delete Pages — remove the pages you don't need • Reorder Pages — drag pages into a new order • Rotate Pages — turn pages the right way up • Sign & Fill — add a signature, a date or a tick • Redact PDF — black out words so they are really gone • Protect PDF — add or remove a password • Clean PDF — strip hidden author and app details • Make Searchable — find the text inside a scan • PDF to Images — save pages as JPEG, PNG or HEIC • Images to PDF — turn photos into a document • Batch Process — apply one tool to a whole stack at once PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION PageKit contains no networking code at all. This is not a promise not to upload your documents — the app has no way to. There are no analytics, no third-party libraries, no tracking, and no identifiers of any kind. Your documents, scans, signatures and passwords stay in the app's own storage on your device. Redaction genuinely removes the text rather than drawing a black rectangle over it. Cleaning strips the author, creator and keywords that a PDF carries without ever showing you. Every tool writes a new document, so your original is left exactly as it was. BUILT FOR iOS • Works offline, always • Share sheet — send a PDF into PageKit from any app • Home Screen widgets and a Control Centre scan button • Shortcuts and Siri for merging, converting and opening tools • Spotlight — find your documents from the Home Screen, indexed on device and switchable off • Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support • A proper iPad layout, not a stretched phone • English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Spanish FREE AND PRO Most of PageKit is free and unlimited. Splitting, extracting, deleting, reordering, rotating, signing, redacting and cleaning have no cap at all. Merging is free up to 3 PDFs at a time, and converting images is free up to 5 at a time. PageKit Pro removes those limits and unlocks scanning, text recognition, password protection, image export and batch processing. • PageKit Pro Lifetime; paid once • PageKit Pro Monthly Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A monthly subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. The lifetime option is a one-time purchase and never renews.
