Incognito is a private web browser you can pull up anywhere. From any app: long-press a link or select text, tap Share, and then choose the Incognito action extension. Boom: instant web browser! Need to lock people out of your web history or bookmarks? Incognito can do that too! Incognito is great for: • Viewing a web page inside the current app without jumping to Safari. • Opening sketchy links without risking your privacy. • Reopening a web page with cookies disabled — and yes, that means Incognito lets you dodge most paywalls. • Searching Google from anywhere — just select the text you want to search, choose “Share” from the popup menu, and then choose the “Search in Incognito” action. • Searching with something besides Google: use Kagi, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave, Qwant, Yahoo, or whatever search engine you prefer. • Keeping your web history and bookmarks private and passcode-locked. Or you can disable browsing history and leave no trace! Incognito is also a Swiss Army Knife of web tools: • Open a page in another browser such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, or DuckDuckGo. • Remove AMP so you can browse or share the original URL. • Translate the page using Google Translate (beta). • Open a web page with the archive.today service (Incognito is not affiliated with archive.today or archive.is). • Save a PDF of an entire web page. • Set Incognito as your default browser. • Clear your session history. Incognito is all about privacy: • All web browsing is in “private mode” by default, so all cookies and web data are discarded after each session. • Incognito has no ads, no third-party trackers, and does not send or re-route your web searches anywhere. • If you require extra privacy, Incognito has options to disable browsing history and/or exclude it from your iCloud Backups. Incognito is paid upfront with a small, one-time fee. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads, or deals with sketchy "search engines" like many of the "free" so-called private browser apps. You can trust me with your privacy because you know how I got paid: once, by you, that's it. Incognito was created by an independent developer living in California.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Skitter at Free against Incognito's $0.99. Skitter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Incognito's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (167 vs 6). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Incognito holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Incognito has 167 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Incognito's written reviews are positive against 67% of Skitter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Incognito ships an update every 6 weeks, Skitter every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
