Wipr blocks ads, popups, trackers, cookie warnings, and other nasty things that make the web slow and ugly. Websites in Safari will look clean, load fast, and stop invisibly tracking you. You’ll notice significant improvements to your battery life and data usage. Setup is a snap. Apple featured Wipr in “The Best Safari Extensions”. The Filtr add-on extends Wipr’s blocking to all apps on your devices. It acts at the network level, but unlike a VPN, it can access none of your data, and can be used in conjunction with VPNs, iCloud Private Relay, and custom DNS. Wipr’s blocklist is updated twice a week automatically, and has enhanced versions for the following languages: Bosnian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Malay, Montenegrin, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese. Wipr is a universal app: install it on all your devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro) with a single purchase. It’s fully accessible with VoiceOver, Voice Control, and more. Dark, Tinted, and Clear icon variants are included. Family Sharing is supported. Because it’s developed by a single independent developer and 100% funded by its users, Wipr only answers to you: no one can pay to have their ads unblocked, and there are no “acceptable ads”. This app was made with love and patience. I hope you’ll enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed designing and building it. – Kaylee Terms & Conditions: https://kaylees.site/terms-and-conditions.html EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

KarHub

Features
Read full description

Most car apps do one thing. KarHub is the one that remembers everything — and actually does something with it. Add your VIN once. KarHub decodes your exact year, make, model, trim and engine, and every answer it gives from then on is about your car specifically. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Service history that stays put. Log oil changes, brakes, tires, anything. Date, mileage, cost and notes, in one timeline instead of a glovebox full of receipts. • Maintenance rings. Every interval is a ring that drains as it elapses, so you can see where you stand without doing arithmetic. Tap one to log it. Add your own for anything KarHub doesn't cover. • Reminders that do the maths. Oil change due dates calculated from how you actually drive, not a guess. Registration renewals and monthly odometer prompts too. • Open recall alerts, checked against NHTSA's live database for your vehicle. Recalls are free to fix and easy to miss entirely. • Nearby repair shops with addresses, distance and directions. • A tire life guide, the penny test, step by step, and what each result actually means. KARHUB PLUS • Otto, your AI mechanic. Ask anything about your car. Otto can see your service history and mileage, searches the web for real specifications rather than guessing, and shows you where each answer came from. Send a photo of a warning light or a leak and ask about that. • Fluid specs, filled in for you. Otto looks up the oil weight, capacity and fuel grade for your exact vehicle and saves them, clearly marked so you can check them against your owner's manual. • Quotes, collected for you. Pick a job and how many shops to ask. KarHub emails them on your behalf, reads the replies, pulls out the prices and lays them side by side. You never write an email. • Booking and reminders. When a shop offers a time, book it in a tap. It goes on your calendar, you get a reminder the day before, and cancelling sends the shop a note. • Your whole garage. Track as many vehicles as you own. SUBSCRIPTION KarHub Plus is $7.99/month or $59.99/year. Tracking your car is free, permanently, the subscription covers the features that cost us money to run.
