BrowPane

Compare two web pages on one screen and turn repeatable actions into a macro. BrowPane is an iPhone browser. COMPARE TWO PAGES View pages one above the other and drag the divider to adjust. Compare an itinerary with a venue guide, for example. Open two pages in tabs and choose “Enter Split View” from the Page menu. MAKE A MACRO Try the Quick Start macro to open a URL, wait, and save a screenshot to Files. A separate seeded “Screenshot → Swipe Right” sample may appear in the list; it repeats screenshot, right-swipe, and one-second wait steps until the page stops changing, up to 10,000 times. Add taps, text entry, scrolling, or repeats, and edit a macro’s name and description. Website changes and loading can affect results; check the URL, text, and steps before running. ORGANIZE BROWSING Use regular and private tabs, swipe between tabs, reopen recently closed tabs, view history, search a page, choose Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo, and download files to Files. From a link menu, open a link in a new tab, bookmark it, add it to Reading List, copy it, or share it. Bookmarks and Reading List save titles and URLs, not offline page content. ADS AND PRIVACY BrowPane targets some web ad requests and page overlays, but ads may remain. A clearly labeled native ad may appear only on regular-tab start pages. There is no persistent banner. If consent and ad settings allow requests, BrowPane may load a rewarded ad before a macro-run choice from either a regular or private tab. If an ad loads, choose to watch it once or cancel. The macro runs once only if a reward is earned. Cancel or close before the reward and it will not run. If consent or settings do not allow a request, or an ad is unavailable, the macro runs without an ad. Private tabs are not added to BrowPane’s saved history and use a non-persistent website-data store. They do not hide activity from websites, search engines, or network providers, or automatically remove downloads and macro data. Text recognition runs on your device. A non-persistent website-data store does not turn off advertising SDK data processing. Ad-data handling may vary by region and consent; see the Privacy Policy and App Store privacy details.
