The internet was built to keep you scrolling. Sundial Browser gives it a rhythm. Every other browser opens a door and walks away. You go in for one thing and surface an hour later, not sure where it went. Sundial Browser is a full web browser that wraps the sites that pull you in — Reddit, X, YouTube, the news — in timed sessions with a beginning, a middle, and an end. You still get everywhere you need to go. You just stop disappearing into it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pace the sites that pull you in. Pick the sites you want to manage. When you open one, a session begins. You browse freely — you just stop scrolling on autopilot. 2. Built-in rest. When the session ends, the site locks. A short rest period follows before you can return. No override. No "just five more minutes." The boundary holds itself. WHAT WE DON'T DO No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. Your history never leaves your device. Sundial Browser paces how you browse — it doesn't watch what you browse. THE FULL BROWSER YOU EXPECT Tabs, bookmarks, search suggestions, and private mode. Everything a modern browser does, without the part that does it to you. Restore your rhythm online.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Sundial Browser at 10 against Modex's 2. Modex's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sundial Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Modex sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Sundial Browser against 5.0 for Modex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sundial Browser has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
