Read full description

Secure Private Web Browser is a security-focused browser built to give you full control over how and when your browsing data exists. Each launch creates a new temporary browsing session. No history is recorded, nothing is restored later, and all temporary tabs are removed automatically when you close the app or clear the session. You always decide what stays and what disappears. Secure access control Restrict access to the app using Face ID or a PIN of your choice. When protection is enabled, authentication is required at launch and every time the app returns from the background. Until verification is completed, web content remains locked. Temporary vs saved tabs Secure Private Web Browser clearly separates browsing into two distinct tab types: • Temporary tabs are created during regular browsing and exist only within the current app session. They are removed when the app is closed or when quick clear is used. • Favorite tabs are added only by explicit user action and remain available across app launches. This separation makes it easy to understand which tabs are session-based and which are intentionally preserved. Quick clear A single action instantly closes all temporary tabs and removes session data, while saved tabs remain untouched. Background protection When the app is minimized or appears in the app switcher, active content is concealed using a protective blur. If access protection is enabled, authentication is required again when returning to the app. Data handling principles • Browsing activity is not logged • Temporary tabs are never restored • Any data retention requires deliberate user action • PINs and passwords are never stored in readable form Premium feature: Personal Private Space Unlock access to Favorite tabs and create a personal private space for websites you choose to keep. Favorite tabs remain available between sessions, while all temporary browsing data continues to disappear automatically. Secure Private Web Browser provides a controlled, security-oriented browsing experience where access, visibility, and data persistence are always defined by you.
