Emerald is a browser that you can organize. Thanks to Spaces, Folders, Pinned Tabs, Tabbies and Profiles, you can organize your whole internet life. ORGANIZE YOUR WHOLE INTERNET LIFE SPACES - split your browsing into separate Spaces, each with its own name, icon, and custom theme, so different parts of your life stay visually distinct. FOLDERS - group your tabs into folders to keep related work together and your Sidebar clutter-free. PRIVATE FOLDERS - lock sensitive folders behind a password, protected by Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. PINNED TABS - pin your most-used tabs to any Space or Folder so they're always one tap or drag away. TABBIES - keep your open tabs organized and accessible without losing track of what you're working on. PROFILES - assign shared or separate accounts and data across your Spaces, so work data stays separate from personal browsing, or shared where you want it. BROWSE WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS NO SPYWARE, NO CLUTTER - a built-in ad blocker and a clean interface keep your browsing focused on what matters. SEARCH THAT KEEPS UP WITH YOU SMART SUGGESTIONS - search across the web, your recents, pinned tabs, and open tabs all at once. SITE SEARCH - search directly within your favorite websites just like you would with a search engine, with built-in and customizable options. SWITCH TO TABS & SPACES - jump straight to an open tab or Space right from the search bar, no digging required. RENAME & EDIT URLs - access all of Emerald's search features even while editing a URL. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN SIDEBAR - on iPad, a dedicated sidebar keeps your Spaces, Pinned Tabs, Folders, Tabbies, and Recents within easy reach. FLOATING SEARCH PANEL - a larger search bar on bigger screens with all the same smart features as iPhone. RECENTS - quickly revisit what you were browsing, accessible as a sheet.
