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 **

Read full description

EasyRing is a big-button phone launcher built for anyone who finds a regular iPhone too small, too busy, or too confusing to use quickly — especially seniors and the family members who set the phone up for them. No account. No cloud. Everything happens on your device. HOME SCREEN, MADE SIMPLE Your Home screen shows only the people you actually call — organized into clear groups like Family, Doctors, Friends, and Others. Each contact gets a large photo and a full-width "Call" button. No hunting through menus, no tiny icons. ONE TAP TO CALL Every call goes straight through Apple's own Phone app — EasyRing never intercepts, records, or stores your calls. It simply makes dialing faster. EMERGENCY NUMBERS, ALWAYS WITHIN REACH Pin the numbers that matter most in a real emergency, so they're never more than one tap away. FAMILY SETUP MODE Setting this phone up for a parent or grandparent? Family Setup Mode walks a second person through pinning contacts, adding emergency numbers, and choosing a language — all in one guided pass, without ever touching a confusing settings menu. BUILT FOR REAL ACCESSIBILITY EasyRing respects your iPhone's Text Size and accessibility settings system-wide — text and buttons scale exactly the way the rest of your phone does. Available in English and Vietnamese. YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED EasyRing never uploads your contacts anywhere. There's no account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs of any kind. What's on your phone stays on your phone. FREE TO USE The free version is a genuinely complete phone launcher: pin up to 4 contacts, set 1 emergency number, and use 1 theme — no paywall ambush, no crippled trial. EASYRING PRO Upgrade for unlimited pinned contacts, additional emergency numbers, and extra themes.
