Orbot is the original free and open-source Tor-powered VPN for iOS and macOS. Orbot helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you. FEATURES: - Browse the internet over Tor. - Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs. - Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor. DISCLAIMERS: - Web browsing is much slower than through a normal VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network. - Orbot might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge). - Use of Orbot is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device. ** Orbot is free and open-source software. You can read more about Orbot and how to support development of Tor on iOS by visiting orbot.app **

Imagine a tireless personal assistant whose only job is to watch the entire internet for you, and tap you on the shoulder the instant something matters. Stop refreshing. Stop scrolling. Stop checking "just in case." exeye is the AI that never sleeps, quietly monitoring the web for the exact things you tell it matter, then tapping you on the shoulder the instant they do. No forms. No filters. No dashboards to configure. Just talk to exeye like you'd talk to a friend, and it builds the automation for you. ## SMART ALERTS: get notified the moment it happens Tell exeye what to watch for, and it keeps an eye on the web around the clock: - "Tell me when these flights drop under $400" - "Alert me the second this is back in stock" - "Let me know if this stock moves more than 5% today" - "Ping me when a new listing hits this neighborhood" When it triggers, you don't just get a ping. You get the full picture: an AI-written summary, the key facts, an image, and a link straight to the source. ## SCHEDULED SUMMARIES: your world, delivered on your time Turn your interests into a personal briefing that shows up exactly when you want it: - A market recap every morning at 9am - A weekend roundup of what's worth doing, watching, and reading - A weekly digest of gaming news, book picks, or industry headlines - A daily nudge with a workout, a recipe, or a photography tip ## INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, ONE ASSISTANT Because exeye runs on real AI and real-time web search, not a fixed list of "supported" topics, it can watch or summarize almost anything you can put into words. Prices, headlines, weather, launches, listings, competitors, hobbies, markets, releases, trends. If you can describe it, exeye can watch it. ## THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU'RE... - A deal hunter who wants the drop before everyone else - An investor who can't watch the market all day - A house hunter tired of refreshing listing sites - A fan who wants the news the second it breaks - A founder or professional who needs the signal without the noise - Anyone who just wants their morning to start with exactly what they care about, nothing more ## WHY exeye FEELS DIFFERENT - Set up an automation in one sentence: exeye writes the logic for you - Real-time AI web search, not a static RSS feed - Rich, contextual results: summaries, facts, and images, not just a bare notification - Edit any alert or summary just by asking, like "make it more tech-focused" - Personalized from day one: tell us your interests and exeye suggests where to start - One home for everything you're tracking, searchable in seconds The web never stops moving. Now, neither does your watch over it. Download exeye and let your AI keep watch, on the things that matter to you, and only the things that matter to you.
