Verge brings everyday browsing and an optional AI assistant together in one app. Open your favorite websites, keep useful pages close, and ask for help without leaving the browser. Use voice or chat to describe what you want to do, while keeping the page and the assistant within reach. Connect the AI service you choose. Set your provider's Base URL, model name, and API key, then test the connection and tool support before starting a task. Verge supports compatible HTTPS services using Chat Completions or Responses API. Your selected model must support tool calling to operate the browser. AI is optional and can be enabled or disabled in Settings. Speak when typing feels inconvenient. Tap the floating AI button, say what you need, and let Verge submit your request after a short pause. You can also end recording and run the request yourself. Ask the assistant to open a website, search for information, read a page, or help you work through supported browser actions. Use the assistant for focused browser work. It can navigate, search, review visible text, click supported controls, enter text, choose options, scroll, find content, and manage task tabs. Some actions may ask for approval first. Prefer a conversation? Press and hold the AI button to open the chat panel. Type a request, review the assistant's replies and activity, and send a follow-up when the task is finished. Collapse the panel to return to the page while keeping the current conversation available during the same app session. Keep your assistant where it suits you. Drag the floating button to a comfortable spot on the screen. When the address bar and bottom toolbar are hidden, an active task appears in a compact status capsule beside the button. The capsule moves with it, giving you a quick way to reopen the conversation or stop the task. Stay involved as the assistant works. Check its current status, review requests for approval when required, or stop execution at any time. Turning AI off or moving the app into the background stops recording and active tasks. Private tabs are excluded from AI tasks, so start an assistant session from a regular tab. Browse with familiar essentials. Open and switch between tabs, revisit your history, save bookmarks, find text within a page, and share links. The start page offers quick access to websites, while the address field lets you enter a URL or search using Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. Make room for the content. Verge can tuck away the address bar and bottom toolbar as you browse, leaving more of the page visible while retaining a compact domain display. Choose the default website identity, Desktop Safari, or a custom User-Agent when a site needs a different presentation. Keep downloads organized. View downloaded files in the browser's download library and manage them alongside your browsing. Supported web videos can be saved when a downloadable source is available. Download availability depends on the website and the media format. For advanced workflows, Verge includes an optional Model Context Protocol service. Connect a compatible MCP client to supported browser tools, configure the service port, and manage its access key. Access to your regular browsing profile requires a separate setting and confirmation. You can also configure proxy profiles for browser and download traffic. Choose English or Simplified Chinese for the app, or follow your system language. The AI interface follows your selection, including settings, controls, and activity messages. Your own prompts and the model's replies stay in the language in which they were written. AI requests send the selected page content and conversation to the model service you configure. API keys are stored in the device's Keychain. Voice input prefers on-device recognition and may use Apple's speech service when needed. Model access, availability, and any usage charges depend on your provider. Verge gives you the tools to bring that service into your browsing routine.

About

Dual Tab

Everyone's juggling more than one identity online — a second social account, a client's account, a work login, a personal side project. Most browsers make you log out and back in every time. Dual Tab doesn't. MEET WORKSPACES: SEPARATE LIVES, ONE APP Every Workspace is its own private world — its own logins, its own saved data, its own open tabs. Nothing crosses over. Lock any one of them behind Face ID, wipe it clean in one tap, or run five side by side without ever mixing them up. POINT YOUR CAMERA, SKIP THE TYPING See something you can't describe? Snap a photo or pull one from your library and search the web by image instead of guessing at keywords. Flip the camera, fire the flash, or flip on translate mode to read text in another language right off the photo. It's the fastest way to find a product, a place, or a phrase you can't spell. TABS THAT REMEMBER EVERYTHING Jump between ten open tabs without a single one reloading — pick up mid-scroll, mid-video, mid-form, exactly where you left it. See every tab as a live preview card, pin the ones you use daily, and search across every open tab by name or URL when you've lost track. A VAULT, NOT JUST A KEYCHAIN Dual Tab notices your logins and offers to remember them — but the vault only opens for your face. Autofill appears right on the login screen, and any site you don't trust can be marked "never save," permanently. BROWSE LIKE NO ONE'S WATCHING Private tabs that leave zero trace. A tracker and ad blocker running quietly across 30+ known ad networks. A full app lock on top of individual Workspace locks, so even a borrowed phone stays yours. SCAN IT, SHARE IT, SAVE IT Turn any page into a QR code with one tap, or scan one to jump straight there. Pull a whole page down as a PDF, drop it into Downloads as audio, video, or a document, and track every download live with one-tap category filters. AND THE ESSENTIALS, DONE RIGHT - 9 search engines — Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Wikipedia, YouTube, Amazon, Ecosia — matched to your language and region - Bookmarks & history, grouped by day, cleared in one tap - Find on Page, Desktop/Mobile view switch, Light/Dark/System themes - A start page shaped around each Workspace's own name, color, and shortcuts - Built for iPad and Mac with a sidebar and pinned-tab grid DUAL TAB PREMIUM Start free with core browsing, tabs, and one Workspace. Go Premium for unlimited Workspaces, every search engine, and zero ads. - Weekly — $2.99 - Monthly — $9.99 - Yearly — $29.99 (3-day free trial included) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase.
