Mono — a browser built for how you actually browse. Designed for iPhone and iPad, Mono strips away the clutter of modern browsers and gives you a clean, monochrome experience — or add a splash of colour, your call. FEATURES - Long-press any link to open it without leaving the page - Built-in ad blocker - No-image mode for faster, lighter browsing - Keep-screen-on while browsing - Favourites, reimagined - Custom themes, app icons and accent colours - Invisible mode for private browsing - Search with DuckDuckGo, Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ecosia or Baidu COMPLETELY FREE Every feature in Mono — ad blocker, no-image mode, keep-screen-on, invisible mode, all of it — is free, full stop. No ads, no data selling, and no visibility into your browsing activity, favourites, or usage. Ever. If you'd like to support development, you can leave an optional donation from within the app. THE STORY Mono started as a personal project to fix what I felt was missing from other browsers, and grew into a full-featured mobile browser along the way. It's built and maintained solo, so bugs can happen — please reach out via the support page with issues or ideas. I read every message. Mono is developed by Nubliq, an independent software studio building simple, honest apps.
