Mars is a fast, focused browser with powerful protection, flexible tab organization, and optional AI tools built around the page you are viewing. CLEANER BROWSING Built-in blocking helps stop ads, trackers, popups, and supported video ads without an extra extension. AI BESIDE THE PAGE Optional AI tools can summarize, explain, and help with the page you are viewing. Features are used only when you invoke them and may require an eligible Mars plan. ROOM FOR EVERY MISSION Keep work, research, and play separate with Spaces. On larger screens, use split view and multiple windows to keep related pages together. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Browse without a Mars account. Content blocking runs on-device, and your browsing history is stored locally by default. MORE OF THE WEB Save downloads, use private tabs, and choose your preferred search engine. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND TERMS Some features require an optional monthly Mars subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.

About

Show Browser.

Features

Show Browser keeps what you do on your own iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Your history, bookmarks, downloads and per-site permissions live on this device and are never uploaded anywhere. The app sends nothing about you to us: there is no analytics library inside it, no crash reporter, no advertising, and nothing watching how you use it. WHAT YOU GET • Private tabs that keep no history, no cache and no site storage, and are never written to disk — not even when the system closes the app. • Your tabs come back. Reopen the app and the session is where you left it. Private tabs are the deliberate exception: those do not return. • Add your own shortcuts to the new tab page. Long press to remove one. • HTTPS first, with a full-screen warning when a site cannot do it — not a small icon that is easy to scroll past. • A certificate warning that never quietly accepts on your behalf. • Camera, microphone and location decided per site, reviewable and revocable. • Clear browsing data by time range. • Reader mode, find in page, and request the desktop version of a site. • Report an objectionable page from the menu; it reaches us directly. • Block any site from the menu, and manage the list in Settings. PERMISSIONS Camera, microphone and location are requested only when a site you are on asks for them, and only after you have allowed that site. The app itself never uses them. WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD Show Browser renders pages with Apple's WKWebView, as the App Store Review Guidelines require of every iOS browser. Pages therefore look and behave as they do in Safari. What differs is everything around the page: how tabs are managed, how security is surfaced, and the fact that nothing leaves your device. Show Browser is made by Sage. https://showbrowser.sage.show
