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 FREE AND PAID OPTIONS Some functionality requires a paid subscription. FREE ACCESS The free version includes: – Temporary browsing sessions – Automatic session removal after closing – Face ID and PIN protection – Quick Clear The following features require a paid subscription: PAID SUBSCRIPTION – Save Favorite tabs between sessions – Keep selected websites available for future visits – Access Personal Private Space Secure Private Web Browser provides a controlled, security-oriented browsing experience where access, visibility, and data persistence are always defined by you.

Wifi Helper helps you make better home Wi-Fi decisions from your iPhone without pretending that iOS can perform a desktop-style wireless scan. FREE QUICK CHECK • Run three small HTTPS response-time probes at the spot you are testing • Review responsiveness, variation, reliability, and the network path reported by iOS • Save recent checks locally so you can compare real places in your home • Use every Quick Check without an account or usage limit PREMIUM — ONE-TIME PURCHASE One optional non-consumable purchase unlocks every premium tool. There is no subscription. • Placement Survey: compare the wall outlets and rooms you actually test before choosing an extender location • Before & After: verify whether an installation improved the same named spot • Channel Advisor: import a compatible Wi-Fi scan CSV and estimate crowding across the standard 2.4 GHz choices • Extender Setup: follow vendor-neutral WPS, manufacturer-app, or browser setup guidance and verify the result HONEST IPHONE LIMITS Apple does not provide third-party iPhone apps with a general-purpose API to enumerate every nearby Wi-Fi network, channel, or source of radio interference. Wifi Helper therefore does not claim to scan surrounding networks directly. Quick Check is an end-to-end connection comparison, not a direct RF signal meter, guaranteed Internet speed test, or diagnosis of your provider. Results can also reflect the router, ISP, network load, test endpoint, and temporary conditions. Channel Advisor works only with a compatible file that you choose to import. Its guidance cannot account for channel width, utilization, noise, hidden networks, or non-Wi-Fi interference. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Survey results and imported scan content are processed on the iPhone. Wifi Helper has no account, advertising SDK, or cross-app tracking. The small probe service receives the public IP address and standard HTTPS request metadata that any Internet service receives; operational and security handling is described in the Privacy Policy. Wifi Helper is an independent utility and is not affiliated with Apple, TP-Link, or another router manufacturer.
