Quiche Browser vs Whim

An independent browser thoughtfully designed by a single human, and funded by its users. WHAT THE PRESS SAYS “A very robust, exquisitely designed, stunningly handsome web browser. […] It’s just so thoughtful. So utterly modern in its appearance and features, but old-school in its hyperfocus on serving you, the user, through craftsmanship.” — Daring Fireball “My favorite iOS browser these days is Quiche Browser. It’s somehow both incredibly simple and one of the most customizable browsers I’ve ever tried.” — The Verge “Quiche Browser has clearly been designed with care.” — MacStories “If you want a lightweight, private, minimalistic, yet customizable web browsing experience on your iPhone – [Quiche Browser] might be the perfect answer for you.” — 9to5Mac “Quiche Browser is unique, engaging, and fully customizable.” — Lifehacker BROWSER CUSTOMIZATION DESIGNED TO STAY SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL • Choose and place every toolbar and menu button. • Customize the address bar’s appearance and contents. • Choose from a list of ready-to-use toolbars, which you can then adapt to your needs. • Use a Liquid Glass toolbar, or switch to a Classic one if Liquid Glass isn’t your thing. • Manage tabs with multiple display and sorting options. • Read web pages in full screen for focused, distraction-free browsing. BUILT-IN BLOCKING Ads, trackers, and cookie banners are blocked by default.  Pages load faster and feel less cluttered. DARKEN ALL WEBSITES Pick a unique dark mode theme and apply it to every website. No more blinding white pages at night. COMFORT MODE Adjust the interface so your tabs, favorites, and search suggestions are always easy to reach with one hand. UNIQUE QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPROVEMENTS EVERYWHERE • Use any search engine, even Kagi or your own SearXNG instance. • Enhance your toolbar with a wide range of tools: disable JavaScript, switch to desktop mode, close all tabs and clear data, translate pages, and more. • Estimated read time for every page. • Open new tabs on the website of your choice. • Extreme energy saving in Low Power Mode. MY PRIVACY STANCE: KEEP YOUR DATA FOR YOURSELF • Zero data tracking or usage monitoring. • Never connects to any first-party or third-party servers, except to RevenueCat for managing purchases and preventing fraud. • No sign-up, obviously. LIGHTWEIGHT, FAST, AND ORIGINAL Quiche Browser is not another bloated clone of Firefox, Brave, or Chrome. I built it entirely from scratch for performance and to keep it lightweight. FULLY INDEPENDENT • No investors dictating growth or influencing product direction. • No search engine deals, data monetization, or partner agreements shaping the browser. • It’s just me, building the browser of my dreams. 100% FUNDED BY USERS Subscribing to Quiche PLUS unlocks additional features such as Website Darkening, Comfort Mode, all app icons, and all button styles. Building a web browser alone is a full-time job, and subscribing also allows me to: • Keep the app up to date with new iOS releases and features. • Build more unique features. • Start working toward a macOS version. — greg@quiche.industries threads.net/quicheindustries instagram.com/quicheindustries bsky.app/profile/quiche.industries mastodon.social/@quicheindustries Terms and Conditions https://quiche.industries/browser/terms/

Can't decide? Flip it, spin it, ask it, or roll it. Whim is a small, cheerful toolkit for handing a decision over to chance, and for the simple pleasure of flipping a coin or spinning a wheel just because your hands want something to do. Open it when you're can't decide on dinner, or when you just want to watch the coin spin. WHAT'S INSIDE • ANSWER BALL: ask a yes-or-no question, tap the ball or give your phone a shake, and watch the answer rise up out of the dark. • COIN FLIP: heads or tails, or write your own sides ("pizza" vs. "tacos," "go" vs. "stay home"). Swipe up to flip. • WHEEL: build a list of anything and give it a flick. Save your favorite lists for lunch spots, movie nights, chores, or whose turn it is. • NUMBERS: a random number from any range you set, with a no-repeat raffle mode for one at a time until they're all gone. • DICE: d4 through d100, any count you want, a modifier, and a drop-the-lowest option. Sized for tabletop night and anything else you need to roll. MORE THAN A DECISION MAKER: Plenty of reasons to open Whim have nothing to do with deciding anything. A coin is satisfying to flip while you think something over. A wheel is fun to spin while you're on hold, waiting for a bus, or just restless. A shake before a big question and a toss before a small one give an ordinary moment a bit of ceremony, and a bit of play. A LOOK FOR EVERY MOOD: Every theme in Whim reworks the coin, the ball, the wheel, the dice, the sounds, and even the app icon into something new. Classic, Arcade, and Zen come free with the app. Beyond those, a growing shelf of looks ranges from a candlelit tavern to the depths of a dragon's hoard, a moonlit bog, a storybook meadow, a marble tower above the clouds, and a 1920s hotel lobby at midnight, with more on the way. Switch your theme across the app with a couple of taps. WIDGETS: Flip the coin or ask the ball straight from your home screen. The widget can wear its own theme too, separate from whatever the app is wearing. MADE TO FEEL GOOD: Real toss physics on the coin, a wheel with actual momentum, tick-by-tick spin sounds, and haptics tuned to match each theme's personality. Every result can be read aloud with VoiceOver, and every animation has a calm alternative for Reduce Motion. PRIVATE, ON PURPOSE: No accounts, no ads, no analytics, nothing sent anywhere, ever. Ask. Flip. Roll. Decide on a whim.
