PageCalm is a privacy-first Safari content blocker for iPhone. Use PageCalm to block common web ads in Safari, reduce trackers, and hide some cookie banners, pop-ups, and distracting page elements where possible. You can turn built-in categories on or off, allowlist websites by domain, and reload Safari rules from the app. PageCalm is designed to stay simple and local: - No account - No ads inside PageCalm - No advertising or analytics SDKs - No browsing history collection - No page content upload - Allowlist domains are stored locally - Content blocking rules are processed by Safari PageCalm works only in Safari through Apple's content blocker extension system. It does not provide VPN, DNS, system-wide, or in-app ad blocking. Some ads or site elements may still appear because websites change and Safari applies content blocker rules within Apple's supported extension system.
