Psylo is a private browser that keeps each part of your browsing in its own silo. Every silo has its own cookies, IP address, and fingerprint, so to the sites you visit, each one looks like a different person on a different device. A VPN ISN'T ENOUGH A VPN changes your IP address, but your browser still shares the same device details with every site: your time zone, language, screen size, graphics hardware, and more. Together, they form a fingerprint that follows you across sites, private browsing, and VPNs. Psylo gives each silo a fingerprint of its own. MEET SILOS • Separate website data: Signing in to a site in one silo doesn't sign you in anywhere else. Cookies, cache, and storage stay inside each silo. • An IP address per silo: Route each silo through a different location on the Mysk Private Proxy Network. Browse through Canada in one silo and Japan in another at the same time. • Tabs in every silo: Links and popups a site opens stay in the same silo, with the same proxy and protections. Your tabs come back after the app relaunches. • Multiple accounts side by side: Use the web versions of X, Instagram, YouTube, and more in separate silos, each signed in to a different account, without their tracking SDKs on your device. • Quick Silos: Open a link or search in a silo whose website data is never kept. Keep it as a regular silo whenever you like. ANTI-FINGERPRINTING Psylo obfuscates and randomizes the many signals your browser shares with websites, from time zone and language to screen and hardware details. Each silo gets its own fingerprint, making it harder for sites to connect your silos to each other or to your real device. PROTECTED BY DEFAULT • Built-in ad and cookie banner blocking, with no extensions to install. • Tracking parameters like utm_source and fbclid are stripped from links as you browse. • Protection against the common ways sites uncover your real IP address. MYSK PRIVATE PROXY NETWORK • 40+ locations worldwide. • Encrypted, with no logs. We wrote and run the proxy software ourselves. • Prefer your own? Add SOCKS5 or HTTP/HTTPS proxies, including servers from providers like Mullvad and IVPN, or connect directly. MORE BUILT IN • Designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo, with support for multiple windows. • Find on Page, and open any page in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Brave. • Search with Brave, DuckDuckGo, Google, or Ecosia, or add your own, like Kagi. • No configuration profiles. Unlike a VPN, everything stays inside the app. NO ACCOUNT. NO ANALYTICS. Psylo doesn't need to know who you are. There's no account or email address, and the app collects no analytics. Our servers only check an anonymous identifier to confirm that your subscription is active. BUILT BY PRIVACY RESEARCHERS Psylo is made by Mysk. Since 2020, the two of us have researched how apps track and fingerprint people. Psylo is the browser we built for ourselves. SUBSCRIPTION Psylo is available as a monthly or annual subscription, and new subscribers can start with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://psylo.app/legal/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://psylo.app/legal/privacy/ DISCLAIMER While Psylo provides robust, built‑in protections against tracking and fingerprinting, no system can guarantee absolute privacy. Tracking technologies and countermeasures are constantly evolving. Mysk strives to continuously update and enhance Psylo’s protections to keep pace with new methods of tracking.
