Volflow is a fast, private web browser built on Apple's WebKit engine the same engine as Safari. It opens in normal mode so your tabs, history and sessions stay right where you left them, and a Face ID-protected private mode is one tap away whenever you need it. PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT Volflow starts in normal browsing mode, so your history, tabs and sessions persist locally on your device nothing leaves it. When you want a clean slate, open the tab switcher and switch to Private mode in one tap. Private mode is per-session and ephemeral: nothing is saved, and it's protected by Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode so only you can reopen it. Safari-style tab groups keep your Tabs and Private tabs cleanly separated. ON-DEVICE AD & TRACKER BLOCKING Volflow blocks ads and trackers directly on your device using updatable filter lists EasyList for ads, EasyPrivacy for trackers, plus Turkish filters 110,000+ rules combined. Pages load faster and cleaner, and the lists refresh so protection stays current. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST • No accounts, no analytics, no tracking or advertising SDKs, and no data collection by the developer. • Bookmarks, history, downloads and settings are stored locally only. History and searches are recorded only in normal mode never in private mode. • Optional page translation uses Google Translate. It is off by default and user-initiated; only the pages you choose to translate are sent to Google for translation. This is the one feature that contacts a third party. Everything else stays on your device. FEATURES • Normal mode that remembers your tabs, history and sessions • Face ID / Touch ID / passcode-protected private mode (per-session, nothing saved) • Safari-style tab groups (Tabs / Private) and a tab switcher with search • Multiple tabs, bookmarks, history and downloads • Find on page, pull to refresh, and iPad multi-window • Offline video player for downloaded videos • Google Lens image search • Selectable search engine (DuckDuckGo by default, or Google) • Optional per-network connection profiles and custom DNS for reliable page loads • Optional page translation via Google Translate • Built on Apple WebKit the same engine as Safari Volflow is a privacy-respecting browser, not an anonymity service. It does not hide your identity or change your IP address.

About

Rain

Browse the web with ads and trackers blocked on your device. Rain is a browser for iPhone and iPad, with familiar navigation, private tabs and a Playlist for videos you open on the web. Make the start page yours. Open Favorites, Playlist and Reading List from their own sections. Choose the sections you want, arrange their order, and choose a background or a photo from your library. Reading List brings article links and previews together. Swipe up from the address bar to see your tabs, or swipe sideways to switch between them. Ordinary tabs return when you reopen Rain. Profiles separate browsing sessions, Favorites and history. Named tab groups organize tabs inside a profile. Private tabs use a temporary session and do not add browsing history. Reader presents the main text of supported articles with a choice of fonts, text sizes and backgrounds. Adjust text size on other sites too. Choose your search engine in Settings, or use voice search when on-device speech recognition is available for your language. Shields block ads and trackers on the device. Per-site controls let you adjust protection for an individual page. Filter lists are included for first launch and refresh from their publishers. The Shields panel shows blocking counts for the current page. Add a video you open in the browser to Playlist and play it in Rain. Organize items in folders, resume playback, adjust speed, shuffle, repeat or set a sleep timer. AirPlay and Picture in Picture are available when supported by the system and the media. If a stream link expires, Rain can revisit its source page to recover playback; some sites require opening the page again. Playlist holds 10 items. Rain has no account requirement or in-app purchases.
