Save supported web videos, keep their titles, and browse with fewer ads and pop-ups. Open a supported webpage in Cove Browser and play the video. Touch and hold it to save, or choose it from the detected-media panel. VIDEO SAVING - Save supported web videos for offline playback - Save supported MP4 videos and HLS streams (M3U8) - Automatically convert supported saves when needed for playback on iPhone - Keep saved videos organized in the built-in file manager BROWSE WITH FEWER INTERRUPTIONS - Reduce ads, pop-ups and unwanted redirects while browsing in Cove - A separate content blocker is available for Safari; enable it in system settings AUTOMATIC VIDEO TITLES Cove Browser uses detected video and page titles to name supported saves automatically, so files are easier to recognize in your library. Title availability and accuracy depend on the source page. You can rename a saved file when needed. CHECK THE SOURCE Saving is not offered on major video and social platforms, including YouTube, Netflix, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and Vimeo, or for protected content. A playable video is not always downloadable. Availability depends on the website, media format and access requirements. Only save content you own or have permission to save. OFFLINE FILES AND PLAYBACK - Open saved videos from your file library with the standard player, included without Pro - Search saved files by name and browse videos, images and documents in one place - Import files shared from other apps - Keep files you choose to save, even after closing private tabs SAVE WEB IMAGES Save a single image for free. With Pro, select several detected images from a supported webpage and save them together to Cove’s file library. Image availability depends on the page and source restrictions. PRIVATE BROWSING - Private tabs stay out of browsing history and iCloud tab sync - Close all private tabs to clear their website data - Lock Cove with Face ID or a passcode FREE EXPERIENCE Video saving starts with 3 available saves. After use, 1 save returns every 24 hours, up to a maximum of 3 available saves. Failed saves do not use a save. Saved files remain available when your allowance runs out. The free plan downloads one video at a time. Additional accepted tasks are queued and start automatically when the active task finishes. Ad filtering, private tabs, standard video playback and automatic compatibility conversion for supported saves are included. COVE PRO Pro removes the free video-save limit and adds simultaneous video downloads, batch image saving, HEVC output and gesture playback controls. Enable Gesture Player in Settings > Playback Settings to use brightness, volume and seeking gestures for saved videos. Turn it off to use the standard player. These controls do not replace website video players. Pro does not remove website restrictions or enable saving protected content. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings.

About

Vigatamala Browser

Read full description

The page, cleaned up before it reaches you. Vigatamala is a general-purpose privacy browser you can set as your iOS default. Links from other apps can open here too. It does not chase pop-ups one by one. It works earlier: ad slots, trackers, malicious redirects, cookie notices, and "open in app" walls are handled before the page settles whenever possible. FREE, NOT A TRIAL Everyday browsing • Tab groups: keep work, shopping, and what you are following apart • Pinned tabs: important pages survive swipe-to-close and Close All • Bookmarks and Reading List: park a half-read article for later • Private browsing: private tabs leave no history • Several search engines, right from the address bar Content blocking • Removes ad slots and trackers, and collapses the gaps they leave only where it is clearly safe • Blocks malicious pop-ups and redirects: hijacked tabs, fake download buttons, back-button hijacking • Dismisses cookie notices automatically, so you stop tapping the same button on every site • Closes "open in app" walls by itself, and never taps the install button for you • Fingerprinting protection, and HTTPS everywhere • Built-in rules work out of the box; fuller community filter lists download in-app, free • The shield in the address bar: when one site looks wrong, unblock that site alone Start-page widgets • Currency: a big-button calculator that converts several currencies at once, using central bank reference rates where available • Timer, Weather, Radio, PTT, Toolkit, Fate and Cheer Kit PLUS: SMOOTHER WATCHING AND READING • Background audio — switch apps or lock the screen, and audio can keep playing • Picture in Picture — one tap in the ⋯ menu turns video into a floating window • Play queue and repeat — build your own order, repeat one item or the whole list • Resume playback — come back to a long video and land where you left off • Reader reflow — long articles rebuilt into one clean, continuous read • Continuous reading — pull in the next page without going back to the index • Automatic rule updates — blocking rules refresh up to three times a day • Hide short-form and end-screen recommendations — on supported video sites • More widgets — up to ten on the start page (five on the free plan) PRIVACY WITHOUT THE ADJECTIVES No personal sign-up or login is required. To keep Plus tied to this device, the app registers a persistent install identifier with our CISIP backend and syncs subscription transactions. No third-party, ad or analytics SDKs; no IDFA. App Privacy declares IDs, purchases, diagnostics, and server-logged app usage for analytics; none for tracking. Browsing history, searches, bookmarks, viewed media, and coordinates are not sent to us. Diagnostic logs are off by default; when on, URLs keep only the host name, and turning them off deletes them. STRAIGHT TALK Blocking removes most common ad slots and trackers, but sites keep changing: we do not claim to catch every ad, and some pages will still render imperfectly. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS • Plan: Vigatamala Plus, sold as a monthly or a yearly subscription. • Price: in Taiwan, NT$120 per month and NT$690 per year. Prices in other regions are set by your local App Store. • The yearly plan includes a 1-month free trial, which becomes a paid year unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the trial ends. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • After purchase, you can manage the subscription or turn off auto-renew in your Apple Account settings. • Privacy Policy: https://privacy.link2us.link/ios • Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Questions, or a site that looks wrong?
