HopSites is a native, distraction free workspace utility designed for the websites you visit every day. Instead of drowning in dozens of open browser tabs or digging through static bookmark folders, HopSites lets you organize your web into "Spaces" focused, live collections of sites tailored to your morning routine, sports, work projects, research, or leisure. SWIPE SEAMLESSLY BETWEEN LIVE SITES Within any Space, your saved websites remain live and ready. A simple swipe left or right glides between pages with smooth, tactile transitions. WebKit’s native edge gestures let you navigate back through a site's history, while a tap on any site pill returns you straight to its saved home. BUILT IN AD BLOCKING Enjoy a calmer, cleaner web experience. HopSites includes a lightweight, native ad blocker that prevents requests to known third-party ad networks directly on your device. Need ads on a specific publisher? Easily allow ads for that individual website with a single tap in the More menu. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT • Zero data collection: No analytics, tracking SDKs, or accounts. • No proxy servers: All web requests go straight between your device and the websites you visit. • Private iCloud Sync: Your Spaces, Sites, and custom styles sync seamlessly across your iPhone and iPad through your personal, private iCloud database. CURATED STARTER SPACES & DISCOVERY Explore 15 curated starter Spaces and a searchable directory of 150 editorial website suggestions across News, Science, Tech, Sports, Cooking, Travel, and more. Add existing favorites or type any custom web address. BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED FOR IOS HopSites features an elegant native design with customizable Space backgrounds, light and dark appearances, and full iPad support.
