Capsule Browser re-imagines how you browse the web by putting every website into its own sealed, isolated capsule. No cross-site tracking, no shared cookies, and complete freedom to manage multiple accounts on the same site simultaneously. ZERO CROSS-SITE TRACKING Standard web browsers share your cookies, browsing history, and device fingerprint across all open tabs, allowing advertisers and data brokers to follow you around the web. In Capsule Browser, each web app runs in its own private, isolated environment. What happens inside one capsule stays strictly inside that capsule. READER MODE Let you decide to open every external link on a website in reader mode for distraction-free reading. GROUPS FOR SAME PROFILE Create groups of capsules sharing local storage and cookies to stay connected between websites needing cookie sharing. MULTI-ACCOUNT & MULTI-IDENTITY Tired of logging out and in, or juggling private browsing windows? With Capsule Browser, you can create multiple distinct capsules for the same serviceβkeep your Personal and Work accounts (Google, GitHub, email, social media, shopping) open side-by-side with separate logins and sessions. BUILT-IN AD & TRACKER BLOCKING Enjoy a faster, cleaner web experience powered by integrated uBlock Origin Lite. Automatically block intrusive banners, tracking scripts, popups, and annoying cookie prompts right out of the box. PRIVATE ICLOUD SYNC Your saved web apps, icons, arrangements, and settings sync securely across all your Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices using your private iCloud storage. No third-party servers, no accounts to create, and zero telemetry. KEY FEATURES: β’ App-Like Home Screen: Elegant grid of customizable web app tiles with automatic high-res icons and drag-and-drop reordering. β’ Distraction-Free Reader Mode: Quickly open external articles in Safariβs clean Reader view. β’ On-Device AI Summaries: Generate instant bullet-point summaries of web articles directly on your Apple device. β’ True Background Inactivity: Web views completely shut down when you return home, saving battery and memory. β’ Native Design: Fluid swipe-to-home gestures on iOS and a clean native toolbar on macOS.

Show Browser keeps what you do on your own iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Your history, bookmarks, downloads and per-site permissions live on this device and are never uploaded anywhere. The app sends nothing about you to us: there is no analytics library inside it, no crash reporter, no advertising, and nothing watching how you use it. WHAT YOU GET β’ Private tabs that keep no history, no cache and no site storage, and are never written to disk β not even when the system closes the app. β’ Your tabs come back. Reopen the app and the session is where you left it. Private tabs are the deliberate exception: those do not return. β’ Add your own shortcuts to the new tab page. Long press to remove one. β’ HTTPS first, with a full-screen warning when a site cannot do it β not a small icon that is easy to scroll past. β’ A certificate warning that never quietly accepts on your behalf. β’ Camera, microphone and location decided per site, reviewable and revocable. β’ Clear browsing data by time range. β’ Reader mode, find in page, and request the desktop version of a site. β’ Report an objectionable page from the menu; it reaches us directly. β’ Block any site from the menu, and manage the list in Settings. PERMISSIONS Camera, microphone and location are requested only when a site you are on asks for them, and only after you have allowed that site. The app itself never uses them. WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD Show Browser renders pages with Apple's WKWebView, as the App Store Review Guidelines require of every iOS browser. Pages therefore look and behave as they do in Safari. What differs is everything around the page: how tabs are managed, how security is surfaced, and the fact that nothing leaves your device. Show Browser is made by Sage. https://showbrowser.sage.show
