Crisp makes Safari fast, clean, and private — and you only pay once. Ads, trackers, cookie banners, and pop-ups slow pages down and follow you around the web. Crisp stops them right in Safari, on your device, with a single tap to turn on. No subscription. No account. No data leaving your phone. WHY CRISP • Pay once — no subscriptions, no renewals, ever • Blazing-fast pages with the clutter stripped out • Truly private: everything runs on-device, we collect nothing • Simple to use, with real control when you want it WHAT CRISP BLOCKS • Banner, video & display ads • Trackers and cross-site analytics • Cookie consent banners and nags • Pop-ups and interstitials • Crypto-mining scripts • Newsletter and app-install nags CRISP EXTRA Turn on advanced rules to hide leftover clutter, strip scripts, and beat anti-ad-block walls — included, not an upsell. BLOCK IN ANY LANGUAGE Add region-specific rules for 13 languages so ads are blocked on non-English sites too. WHY ONE-TIME PRICING Ad blockers shouldn't cost you every month. Crisp is a single purchase that keeps working — blocklists refresh automatically about twice a week in the background, at no extra cost. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Safari applies Crisp's rules itself. Crisp is never told which pages you visit, and we have no analytics, no ad SDKs, and no third-party trackers. Your settings stay on your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Crisp 2. Enable it under Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions 3. Browse — pages load clean and fast QUESTIONS? Crisp is made by an independent developer. Reach out and a human will reply.
