This app allows you to quickly launch frequently used sites. You can use it like an app. It hides the URL bar and footer bar found in standard browsers, so you can view sites on a larger screen. Login information is retained, which is very convenient. If you usually use a private browser such as safari or chrome, this app will free you from the troublesome login process. There is also a passcode lock function. You can protect your privacy. Also, this app does not save history, so there is no need to delete history. ■How to use 1, Add the site you want to view. 2, Select the site you want to view.

My use case I am the developer of this application. I use a private browser in safari on my iPhone. Before using this app, I used to close the private browser once and set the regular browser. I then opened my bookmarks and viewed the site. I mainly did such tedious operations to view Stackoverflow. However, when I started using this app, I was freed from such tedious operations because once I open this app, stackoverflow is displayed with my login. Since the URL bar and footer menu are not displayed, I can display stackoverflow on a large screen. ■Reviews from testers 1. I am a fan of a certain website that has not been made into an app. I used to use safari until now. I started using this app because logging in was a hassle. I am satisfied with this app because it not only frees me from the login process, but also allows me to view the site larger than when opening it in safari. (Momo,student ,23 years old) 2. I used this app because I wanted to lock my browser. This app allows you to open your browser by entering your passcode. And I can view the display site out of the blue, so I don't have to open the site from my bookmarks anymore. I have this app available from a shortcut on my iPhone so I can open it right away.
