About

Nul Web Viewer

Features
Read full description

Nul is a focus browser that gets out of the way of your intentions. Most of the internet is designed to pull your attention in every direction. Nul gives you a browser that only goes where you tell it to. BLOCK DISTRACTING SITES Add any website to your block list. Once blocked, visiting that site shows a simple reminder instead of the page. No redirects, no search results — just a quiet prompt to refocus. A COMMITMENT DEVICE, NOT A FILTER Removing a site from your block list takes 24 hours. That gap is the point. It's long enough to outlast the impulse, but short enough to feel reasonable. Your block list is backed by iCloud, so deleting and reinstalling the app won't bypass it. INTENTIONAL NAVIGATION Nul has no address bar. You open URLs from other apps, or scan QR codes with the built-in scanner. Browsing starts with a deliberate action. NO BUSINESS MODEL Nul is free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no data collection. You using this and getting some of your mind back is our payment.
