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 • Private tabs that keep no history, no cache and no site storage, and are never written to disk — not even when the system closes the app. • 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. • Add your own shortcuts to the new tab page. Long press to remove one. • HTTPS first, with a full-screen warning when a site cannot do it — not a small icon that is easy to scroll past. • A certificate warning that never quietly accepts on your behalf. • Camera, microphone and location decided per site, reviewable and revocable. • Clear browsing data by time range. • Reader mode, find in page, and request the desktop version of a site. • Report an objectionable page from the menu; it reaches us directly. • 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

About

Sverk

Features
Read full description

Sverk is a web browser that blocks ads and trackers from the first launch and opens an AI chat in one tap. It warns you before a scam or phishing site opens. No ads • The blocker is built in and on from the start: ads, trackers and cookie banners don’t show. • The Strict level also removes “subscribe” pop-ups, social buttons, chat widgets and “get the app” banners. • Cookie banners are hidden, and nothing is clicked for you: consent is neither given nor refused. • If blocking breaks a site, turn it off for that site with the shield in the address bar. • Blocking lists update every day, without an app update. AI chat • A round button over any page opens an AI chat. Drag it to an edge or a corner of the screen. • Widgets on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen open the chat in one tap. The large one shows your last conversation. • Touch and hold the Sverk icon for “AI chat”. • The button starts a new conversation, takes you back to the last one or opens your chat list — your choice in settings. • Answers come from Google’s AI Mode. No account needed, and AI conversations stay out of your browsing history. Scam and phishing warnings • Before a phishing page that imitates a well-known site to get your password or a text-message code, Sverk shows a warning. • The same before sites on the warning lists of financial regulators — the Bank of Russia, Cyprus (CySEC), France (AMF) and the EU (ESMA): fake brokers, pyramid schemes, illegal lenders. • Sverk checks addresses against the lists here, on your iPhone: the address is sent nowhere. The lists update every day. Translate pages • A page in another language is translated in place, so you stay on the site. • Sverk offers to translate by itself. Choose which languages to always or never translate in settings. News and video • Headlines and videos on the new tab — the international edition in English, or the Russian one. Tune topics and sources, hide anything with one tap, or turn the feed off. • When a video plays, a speed button appears next to the address: ×1.0, ×1.25 or ×1.5. The speed you pick stays for every video. Tabs and search • Swipe along the address bar to switch tabs. • The address bar goes at the top or the bottom. • Incognito tabs for private browsing: Sverk keeps no history, cookies or form data for them. • Pick your search engine at first launch: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave or Yandex. • Bring over your bookmarks from another browser as an HTML file, folders included. Passwords are filled in by iPhone AutoFill. • Sites secured with Russian certificates, such as Russian banks, open without installing a profile. The certificate is trusted only inside Sverk, and only for Russian domains (.ru, .su, .рф) and a few banks under .com. What leaves your iPhone • Questions to AI go to Google, like any search. • Page text goes to a translation service when you translate. • Blocking and scam checks happen on your iPhone: the addresses you open are sent nowhere.
