A private space for your browsing — and a place for your files. Separate personal and everyday browsing with local private spaces. Open yours through the calculator-style entry, keep your bookmarks, history and files in their own space, and return to the public space when you are done. One Browser brings web browsing, local file management, media tools and cross-platform sharing together. No One Browser cloud account is required for local spaces or nearby collaboration. LOCAL PRIVATE SPACES • Enter a separate space with a local password. Keep bookmarks, history, and local files apart. • Each space has its own web sessions, helping you separate work, personal browsing, and other activities. • Exit a private space to return to the public space. LOCAL FILE MANAGEMENT • Organize documents, media and downloads in folders within your current space. Import, rename, copy and move files, and work with ZIP archives. • Open PDFs and images, play local audio and video, and keep useful downloads close at hand. EVERYDAY BROWSING AND USEFUL TOOLS • Return to useful pages with tabs, bookmarks, and history. • Add, edit, remove, and reorder home page shortcuts. • On iPhone, navigation and address bars smoothly collapse during webpage and PDF scrolling. Tap the title or scroll back to expand them. • Track downloads, pause, and resume when the server supports it. Download and merge segments from supported, unencrypted HLS video-on-demand sources. • Open PDFs, images, and local audio and video. Crop, rotate, flip, and resize images; mark up with pens, a highlighter, and shapes; adjust color and filters. PHONE, TABLET, AND COMPUTER • Connect devices on the same trusted local network to exchange text, links, images, and files. • Collaborate with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows devices. Send useful content to the device at hand. • Share the current webpage link directly and continue reading or working on another device. CHOOSE WHAT TO SYNC • Select bookmarks and bookmark folders, with browsing history as an optional addition. • Merge both sets of data or replace one side. Each device uses its own current space. • The receiving device approves the request. The initiator then reviews the counts and confirms. • A local backup lets you restore the categories changed by that sync. FREE USE AND OPTIONAL VIP Basic browsing and single-image editing are free. Without VIP, run one download at a time, complete one HLS download per local calendar day, and successfully save up to three webpage images per batch. Failed HLS downloads do not use the daily allowance. Collaboration supports sending individual files smaller than 10 MB; sending folders requires VIP. Free use includes one private space and three camera-recording uses. An optional monthly auto-renewable VIP subscription removes these paid limits. Price is shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. The subscription renews monthly until canceled in system subscription settings. Restore Purchases is available. Downloads and resuming depend on the website, server, and format. HLS live streams, encryption, and DRM are not supported. Download only content you have permission to save. Nearby collaboration requires network permissions. Space separation does not provide anonymous browsing or disk encryption.

MultiBrow
Read full descriptionHide full description
MultiBrow is a browser in which every container has its own cookies and its own sign-ins. Stay signed in to the same service with several accounts at once and switch with a single tap, instead of signing out and back in over and over. Safari cannot do this: all Safari tabs share a single cookie store, so a second sign-in to the same service ends the first. Private Browsing separates sessions but discards them on close. MultiBrow keeps every sign-in persistent and isolated — using a separate WebKit data store per container, a system feature introduced with iOS 17. WHAT IT IS FOR • A personal and a work account on the same service, side by side • Several clients or tenants, each in its own container • Keeping a test and a production login apart • A second account without disturbing the first one in Safari FEATURES • An overview of all containers as the home screen — create, rename and delete them, each with its own symbol and colour; deleting removes the entire data store • A freely chosen start page per container; the app is not tied to any particular website • Bookmarks per container: save, rename, reorder • History per container, with search and grouped by day • Downloads with progress, preview and export to the Files app • Lock individual containers with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode • Find on page • Siri Shortcuts and Spotlight: open a container by voice or straight from search • A real iPad app on iPad: Split View, Stage Manager, all orientations, keyboard shortcuts • Switch from a bar at the top • An address field per container: type an address or search directly • Optionally stay on the start page: links to other sites then open in Safari • Automatic reload after the app has been in the background for more than 30 seconds, keeping pages current whose connection dropped meanwhile • Pull to refresh; long-press reload clears the cache without losing the sign-in • Up to twelve containers loaded at once; under memory pressure background containers unload automatically • Open the current page in Safari • Usage limits at a glance: when a website reports how much of an allowance is used up and when it resets, the overview shows this per container as bars — usage against elapsed time, so you can see at once whether it is going to be tight. Useful above all with AI services that work in hourly and weekly windows, such as claude.ai. The figures come from the website itself; MultiBrow only reads along and requests nothing • Keep the screen awake if you want to • Interface in German and English PRIVACY MultiBrow collects no data. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no developer servers. Cookies and sign-ins stay on your device, separated per container, managed by Apple's WebKit. Bookmarks, history and downloaded files stay on your device as well. Unlocking a container is handled by the system; the app only learns whether it succeeded and never sees your biometric data. NOTE MultiBrow uses the system web engine. Websites behave as they do in Safari; their operators are responsible for their content and data processing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MultiBrow at none against One Browser's 1. MultiBrow also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). One Browser's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
