Wisp removes the browser "chrome" elements like address bars, toolbars, and status indicators to give you a truly frameless, immersive web experience. Turn your iPhone or iPad into a dedicated handheld console or a kiosk. While standard browsers force UI elements onto the screen, Wisp gets out of your way. It is the essential utility for cloud gamers, digital signage, and minimalists. BUILT FOR CLOUD GAMING Finally, play services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, and Luna without the clutter. --- Zero UI, 100% Immersion: Reclaim your screen real estate. No white bars or buttons blocking your view—just the game. --- iOS Game Mode Support: Wisp integrates with iOS Game Mode to prioritize performance and reduce background activity for the lowest possible latency. --- Desktop-Class Quality: Automatically requests high-resolution desktop streams (1080p+) instead of limited mobile versions. --- Controller Ready: Full support for Bluetooth controllers (Xbox, PS5, Backbone, etc.) with no input interference. CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS Because there are no visible buttons, Wisp uses intuitive gestures that you can customize in Settings: --- Smart Gestures: Swipe to go back, long-press to access the menu, or create custom zones. --- No Accidental Exits: "Locked" browsing ensures you never accidentally swipe out of a game during an intense moment. PERFECT FOR KIOSKS & DASHBOARDS Need to display a Home Assistant dashboard, a live metric counter, or a digital menu? --- Always-On Mode: Prevents screen dimming while active. --- Clean Presentation: Display content edge-to-edge for a professional look. KEY FEATURES • Frameless Engine: Removes top and bottom system bars. • Game Mode Integration: Prioritizes frame rates and responsiveness. • Gesture Navigation: fully configurable swipes and zones. • Privacy Focused: A lightweight browser that doesn't track your data.
