About

BrowsAI

Features
Read full description

BrowsAI is a native iOS AI browser built for knowledge workers, indie makers and power users. It combines a full-featured web browser with a controllable AI agent, so you can complete complex web tasks with a single instruction instead of dozens of manual clicks. Key features: 1. AI agent that operates the web for you: Describe your goal in natural language (for example: "Find a 27-inch monitor under $200 with good reviews") and the agent will open sites, search, filter, paginate, click and navigate until the task is done or needs your confirmation. 2. Page AI summary and Q and A: Generate concise summaries of the current page, or ask questions directly about long articles, documentation or research papers. Answers are grounded in the actual page content. 3. Per-site long-term memory: BrowsAI maintains compact long-term memory per domain, so the agent can remember your context and preferences on specific sites across sessions. You can view, edit or delete these memories at any time in Settings > Privacy. 4. Per-tab short-term memory: Within a single tab, the agent keeps lightweight short-term memory so it can follow an ongoing task thread. New tabs or private mode start with a clean slate. 5. Full browser experience: Multi-tab browsing, bookmarks and history, download manager, reader mode, content blocking and private browsing, all built on top of WebKit and SwiftUI for a smooth, native experience. 6. Privacy-aware design: Long-term memories are stored locally per domain and fully user-controlled. Private mode disables memory writing. A backend proxy can be used to keep your LLM API keys off the device. Use cases: - Competitive and market research across multiple sites. - Shopping and travel planning with structured comparisons. - Reading and understanding long-form content with summaries. - Automating repetitive web workflows such as forms, dashboards and reports. • AI automation features include a 3-day free trial. • Full AI access requires an in-app purchase after the trial period.

`CodingNS` 是一个面向开发者的 AI 编程工作台,用来把你已经在电脑上运行的 AI 编程会话继续带到手机上。 它不是一个只会聊天的壳,也不是把终端粗暴塞进手机页面的半成品。`CodingNS` 解决的是一个更实际的问题:当你离开桌面电脑之后,正在运行的 `Claude Code`、`Codex` 等 AI 编程会话不该被迫中断,你也不该从零重新建立上下文。 通过连接你自己的 `CodingNS Host`,你可以在 iPhone 上继续查看和处理同一条开发会话,读取实时消息,查看工作区文件和 Git 状态,处理权限申请,进入终端,必要时继续推动任务往前走。 核心能力包括: - 续接已经存在的 AI 编程会话,而不是重新开一个空白聊天 - 同步 `Claude Code`、`Codex` 等 CLI 会话消息和运行状态 - 在移动端查看工作区、文件、Git 变更和终端输出 - 在会话内处理命令执行、文件修改和用户输入等权限请求 - 在多设备之间保持统一的工作流,而不是各干各的 - 面向真实开发场景设计,优先保证效率、信息密度和可继续性 `CodingNS` 适合这些人: - 已经把 AI CLI 工具放进日常开发流程的开发者 - 经常需要在桌面和移动设备之间切换的个人开发者 - 需要远程确认任务进度、查看输出、处理权限请求的人 需要说明的是: - `CodingNS` 需要连接你自己的 `CodingNS Host` - 某些能力依赖你的 Host 环境里已经安装并配置好相应的 AI CLI 工具
