Veil Lens is a privacy-aware iPhone browser that helps you see what watches you while you browse. ON-DEVICE TRANSPARENCY Veil observes tracker activity on pages you visit and summarizes it in plain English. History, tracker signals, and privacy scores are designed to stay on your iPhone. Veil does not build a cloud browsing profile. VEIL REPORT Open Report on any page to see vendors and categories Veil detected. These are automated inferences from incomplete signals. They can be wrong. Nothing is blocked. Veil shows, you decide. VEIL SEARCH Search the web with privacy-aware ranking. Sites you’ve visited in Veil can show a Veil Score, higher means lower tracking exposure (weighted from what Veil observed, not just a raw tracker count). Scores stay on this device. RABBIT HOLE An optional link-hopping game that uses the same tracker lens. Fun side mode, not required for browsing. YOUR USUAL SEARCH STILL WORKS Prefer Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo?
