A real browser for Watch. Most watch browsers hand you a list of links, or stream pictures of your phone's screen. Watch Browser fetches each page on the watch and lays it out there: headings, paragraphs, photos with captions, lists, quotes, tables and tappable links, in type sized for a small screen. BROWSING • Whole pages, text and images together, laid out for the watch instead of squeezed sideways • Search by dictation, scribble or keyboard, with suggestions as you type • Tap any link to follow it, swipe from the left edge to go back • Turn the Digital Crown to scroll; long-press for reload, text size, reader mode, bookmarks and Open on iPhone • Tuned views for the things people check on a watch: search results, Wikipedia, Hacker News, weather and RSS feeds • Works on its own over Wi-Fi or cellular — your iPhone can stay in your pocket • When a page can't exist without JavaScript, it says so and offers you a feed or your iPhone instead, rather than a blank screen ON YOUR IPHONE The companion app is a full browser in its own right, with your bookmarks grouped by category, your history, and a tap to send any page to your wrist. Bookmarks and history sync both ways. ON YOUR WATCH FACE Add a complication to jump straight into search, or to your most recent bookmark.

Your real tabs stay hidden • Panic Code: one code instantly erases everything, disguised as a normal unlock • Break-In Photos: silently photograph anyone who fails to unlock, with a timestamped log • Self-Destruct: saved tabs erase themselves after repeated wrong passcodes • Private Downloads: files go into an encrypted vault inside the app. They never appear in Photos or Files • Discreet App Icon: choose a quieter icon for your Home Screen Whether you're shopping for a surprise on a shared device, researching something personal, or just tired of ads following you around the internet, Private Browser Incognito keeps your business yours.
