iCab Mobile (Web Browser) vs WordPace

iCab Mobile is a web browser for iOS. iCab Mobile is customizable in almost all areas and can thus be made into your very own personal browser. PRIVACY: In private mode, no private data is saved permanently. Special private tabs increase privacy even further, with only a small loss of comfort. PROFILES/USER ACCOUNTS: Any number of profiles/user accounts can be created, with each profile having its own settings, bookmarks, etc. Profiles are suitable for an iPad that is used by the whole family, but also for users who want to separate professional and private surfing. TABS, WINDOWS: iCab Mobile can open any number of websites simultaneously in tabs. Tabs can be saved and organized in groups so that they can easily be loaded together again later. Tabs can be protected against accidental closing or overwriting. On the iPad, multiple app instances can be opened as windows (Stage Manager, Split View), even with multiple profiles simultaneously (since iOS 18). FILTERS: Filters can be used to block advertising, trackers, etc. Popular filter lists can be used directly (Easylist, AdBlock Plus, uBlock & compatible), but you can also define your own. USER INTERFACE: The user interface is freely configurable. Action, context and text selection menus, toolbars and gestures can be adapted to your own needs. ACCESSIBLE: The user interface is barrier-free and adapts to the system font size and is compatible with VoiceOver. BOOKMARKS: Bookmarks can be organized in folders. “Smart folders” create special collections based on self-defined rules (e.g. the latest bookmarks from the last 2 weeks). Colored labels allow further categorization. DOWNLOADS: Download any files and manage the files in the download manager, including unpacking/creating ZIP archives, exporting/importing, etc. SEARCH: The app offers a large list of search engines (self-expandable) that you can use to search directly on the web. It is also possible to search on the current page. WEBSITES: You can define what websites can and cannot do. Highlight important content with a highlighter, hide unwanted elements, allow buttons to be clicked automatically (e.g. for cookie messages). Control permissions for camera, microphone and sensor usage. Pro users can even inject JavaScript and CSS code into websites to customize them to their liking. EXPORT/IMPORT: All data can be exported/imported (for creating backups, data synchronization with other devices/apps) WIDGETS: Widgets allow you to control the App and open bookmarks directly from the home screen. Websites can also be displayed directly there. APPLE WATCH: Open websites directly on the Apple Watch (albeit limited). Remotely control iCab Mobile on the iPhone from the Watch. FURTHER FEATURES: - Quick starter - Configurable browser ID (UserAgent) - Full support for international domain names - Simple built-in RSS reader - Kiosk mode - a more limited version of the full-screen mode for kiosk systems. The app includes a store where you can give us a tip via InApp purchase to additionally support the further development of the app. The development of the app takes a lot of time and is a lot of work, which the low purchase price cannot cover. Te sources of income used by the big popular browsers, such as advertising, deals with search engines, tracking etc. are not an option for iCab Mobile. Tipping is completely voluntary and you won't miss out on any important features if you don't tip. However, users who tip will be given the option to change the app icon as a thank you.

Nerves make you speak faster, and you're the last to notice. WordPace measures your speaking pace while you present and warns you the moment you get too fast. Live, during the talk, not in the feedback afterwards. HOW IT WORKS Choose the language you'll present in, set a limit, and start the measurement. After about twenty seconds of speech, the first reliable reading appears in words per minute, and it keeps updating from there. Go over your limit and your screen turns red. Once you're comfortably back under it, the warning clears on its own. It also clears when you stop talking. WHAT IT MEASURES WordPace counts only the time you're actually speaking. Pauses don't count, because otherwise every breath would make you look slower than you are. The reading always covers the last twenty seconds of speech, so it shows how fast you are right now, not your average since you started. A WARNING ONLY YOU SEE On iPhone, the warning fills the screen, with a short vibration if you want one. On Mac, a red banner covers your display. It lets clicks through, so you keep advancing your slides as usual. With a second display, or by sharing only the presentation window in a video call, your audience never sees it. If you'd rather keep the number in view, the Mac can show a small floating readout, and you can start and stop from the menu bar icon. On both devices, you can add a sound so you don't have to look at the screen at all. EVERY LANGUAGE HAS ITS OWN LIMIT English is spoken at a different pace than German or Spanish, so WordPace keeps a separate limit for each presentation language. The default for English is 165 words per minute. A few minutes of rehearsal will show you where your own pace sits; set the limit a little above it. WordPace recognizes English as spoken in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere, along with many other languages. The warning appears in the language you're speaking, whatever language your iPhone or Mac is set to. AFTER THE TALK At the end of each session you see your average pace, your peak, how often you were warned, and how your pace developed over the whole session. That shows you where you sped up. The summary is for this session only; nothing is kept as a history. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Speech recognition runs entirely on your iPhone or Mac. WordPace records nothing and stores no transcript. All the measurement needs is when each word starts and ends, not which word it was. The app collects no data and asks for a single permission: the microphone. The only things it saves are your settings. GOOD TO KNOW WordPace requires iOS 26 or macOS 26. The first time you use a language, your device downloads Apple's speech model for it. That needs an internet connection briefly; after that, the measurement works offline too. On Mac, the warning appears over regular windows, not over an app in full-screen mode. No subscription, no account.
