Website data does not carry over between sessions β and the moment someone might look, the whole screen hides. β’ Reduces ads and trackers with network rules and on-page cleanup β’ Cookies, cache, and web storage do not persist between sessions; history stays on your device β’ The moment you switch away, the screen auto-camouflages β’ One-tap wipe clears the categories you choose There are moments you'd rather not show your screen to anyone. A stranger's glance on a packed train, someone walking behind you in a cafΓ©, the seconds your phone sits unattended, a brief hand-off to someone else. In those moments, leaving no trace and showing nothing matter. Umbric leaves no trace and shows nothing β an iOS browser that keeps cookies, cache, and web storage out of persistent storage, blocks ads and trackers, and auto-camouflages its screen when moved to the background. Key features - Non-persistent storage for cookies, cache, and web storage (wiped between sessions) - Browsing history stays on-device only, never sent externally β wipe it with one tap - Private Mode: Face ID-protected, separate space for bookmarks and history - Two-layer ad & tracker blocking (network rules + DOM-level removal) - Stops pop-ups and ads that open new tabs on their own - Fingerprinting protection (Canvas / WebGL / AudioContext / Navigator) - HTTPS enforcement, JavaScript dialog blocking, camera / mic access denied - One-tap wipe: clear history, cookies, cache, and more by category - Focus Filter integration: switches into Private Mode automatically - Recently closed tabs, in-page search, reader mode, video download About the name "Umbric" combines Umbra (Latin for shadow) with the idea of a deft, well-considered move. Sit beside you without taking up space, slip out of sight the moment a glance comes near β your privacy, kept by your own hand. Leaving no trace isn't about deceiving anyone. It's about taking care of your own privacy. No trace. Nothing shown. β Umbric.

Veil Lens is a privacy-aware iPhone browser that helps you see what watches you while you browse. ON-DEVICE TRANSPARENCY Veil observes tracker activity on pages you visit and summarizes it in plain English. History, tracker signals, and privacy scores are designed to stay on your iPhone. Veil does not build a cloud browsing profile. VEIL REPORT Open Report on any page to see vendors and categories Veil detected. These are automated inferences from incomplete signals. They can be wrong. Nothing is blocked. Veil shows, you decide. VEIL SEARCH Search the web with privacy-aware ranking. Sites youβve visited in Veil can show a Veil Score, higher means lower tracking exposure (weighted from what Veil observed, not just a raw tracker count). Scores stay on this device. RABBIT HOLE An optional link-hopping game that uses the same tracker lens. Fun side mode, not required for browsing. YOUR USUAL SEARCH STILL WORKS Prefer Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo? Open them in the address bar or from bookmarks. Veil Search is optional. BUILT FOR CLARITY β’ Address bar for websites; Search button for Veil Search β’ Scan screen (optional) to read whatβs visible on the page β’ Save PDFs via Share β Save to Files β’ Themes, retention controls, and clear browsing vs clear search scores separately Veil is a transparency tool, not a VPN, not an ad blocker, and not a guarantee that any site is βsafe.β Third-party websites have their own terms and privacy practices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Veil Browser+ at none against Umbric's 1. Veil Browser+ also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
