Gold Browser

Gold Browser puts the real web on your Watch: no iPhone in hand required. Tap the address bar to open any website, or type a few words to search with Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing. Pages open right on your wrist, and you scroll with the Digital Crown like everything else on watchOS. KEY FEATURES β€’ Open any website β€” type a domain and go straight there. β€’ Search your way β€” choose Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing in Settings. β€’ Favorites β€” start with handpicked, watch-friendly sites (Wikipedia, YouTube, Maps, News, Weather and more), add your own, reorder by deleting, or restore the defaults anytime. β€’ History & suggestions β€” recent pages appear on the home screen, and matching pages are suggested as you type. β€’ Continue on iPhone or Mac β€” Handoff lets you pick up the page you're reading in Safari on your other devices with a tap. β€’ Private by design β€” each page opens in a private session, so cookies and sign-ins aren't carried between pages. β€’ Built for the watch β€” clean, full-screen layout, Digital Crown scrolling, and subtle haptic feedback. PRIVATE AND LIGHTWEIGHT Gold Browser collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Your favorites and history stay on your watch, and you can clear your history anytime from Settings. A NOTE ON HOW PAGES LOOK Pages render in the watch's built-in web view. watchOS draws a small bar at the top of every page (the site's domain and a close button); that bar is part of the system and can't be removed by apps. Sites designed for phones generally read best on the small screen. Browse the web from your wrist. Download Gold Browser.
