A link manager that connects your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. View and organize spaces, bookmarks, and saved links on mobile, choose the right browser for each webpage, and send important links to your Mac for continued work. === Home and Search === See saved-for-later links, recently opened pages, and recent bookmarks together on Home. Search spaces, bookmarks, saved links, and history from the current device. Basic search is free. Pro adds filters for type, space, and time range. === Spaces and Bookmarks === Create separate spaces for work, reading, learning, or frequently used tools. Add, edit, remove, and reorder spaces and bookmarks. Website icons help you recognize useful pages at a glance. === Choose a Browser === Open a link with the system default browser, or choose a supported browser installed on the device, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Arc Search. You can remember a browser preference for the current device. Mobile browser selection does not run the link rules configured on your Mac. === Save from Another Browser === Choose this app from the system share sheet in Safari, Chrome, or another browser to save the current webpage for later. You can then open it, organize it into a space, send it to your Mac, or delete it when it is no longer needed. === Mac Inbox === Send saved links, bookmarks, recent opens, or search results to the Mac inbox. Your Mac opens the webpage using its existing link rules. After the item is opened, bookmarked, or deleted successfully, iCloud removes it from the inbox on your other devices. === iCloud Sync === iCloud sync is off by default. You can enable it in Settings, and the change applies after relaunching the app. Spaces, bookmarks, saved-for-later links, and the Mac inbox sync through your private iCloud database to devices using the same Apple Account. Synced data does not pass through our servers or any third-party server. Link history, browser preferences, language, theme, and other device settings always remain on the current device. === Pro Features === The free version includes basic search, space and bookmark management, and single-item opening, organizing, sending to Mac, and deletion. Pro adds advanced search filters, batch organization into a space, batch sending to Mac, and batch deletion. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans unlock the same Pro features. === Privacy === The app does not read history, bookmarks, cookies, or tabs from other browsers. It contains no ads and uses no third-party analytics. Network access only occurs for features you choose, such as syncing data, fetching website icons, opening webpages, or restoring purchases.

Private Browser is a fast, ad-free way to use the web on iPhone. It blocks ads and trackers before they load, keeps your browsing to yourself, and puts a lock on the whole app. No account. No profile. Nothing sold. BLOCK ADS AND TRACKERS • Over 135,000 filter rules from EasyList and EasyPrivacy, applied before a page starts loading • Pages load faster and use less data, because the ads never arrive • Cookie banners hidden automatically • A live counter shows exactly what was blocked on the page you are reading • Turn protection off for one site you trust, without turning it off everywhere PRIVATE TABS THAT REALLY ARE PRIVATE • Private tabs use a separate, temporary store — nothing is written to disk • Close the last private tab and the whole session is destroyed, not just hidden • Normal tabs keep history only for as long as you want it; clear any part of it in one tap LOCK THE APP, NOT JUST THE SCREEN • Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode to open the app • The page is covered the moment you switch apps, so nothing shows in the app switcher • Files you download are stored with iOS file protection and stay unreadable while the device is locked BUILT FOR READING, NOT FOR ADS • Reader mode strips a page down to the article • Dark mode for any website, not just the ones that support it • Toolbars get out of the way as you scroll and come straight back • Tabs, bookmarks, reading list and downloads, all where you expect them SEARCH THE WAY YOU PREFER • Choose from DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, Brave, Startpage, Ecosia, Yahoo or Baidu • HTTPS-Only mode, so an insecure page never loads by accident • Encrypted DNS guidance built in • QR scanner, downloads manager and full backup SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Every screen is translated into 36 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew with full right-to-left layout. PRIVATE BROWSER PRO Private Browser Pro removes every upgrade prompt, includes each new feature as it arrives, and comes with priority email support. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or buy Lifetime once and own it outright with no subscription at all. The price for your country, the renewal date, and the length of any free trial offered are always shown in the app before you confirm. Nothing is charged until you do, and a free trial is free. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in Settings on your device.
