GuardianBrowser is a private browser and AI search experience built for people who want a cleaner, smarter, less invasive way to use the web. Search across multiple engines, reduce ads and tracking, browse privately, organize tabs into Personal and Work spaces, use voice search, and unlock agentic browsing tools with GuardianBrowser Pro. AGENTIC SEARCH, YOUR WAY GuardianBrowser combines privacy-focused search with AI-assisted browsing. Use Standard Search for everyday queries or Agent Search for a more structured, agentic search experience designed for multi-step tasks and automation workflows. GuardianBrowser is built for people looking for AI search, agentic search, AI browser tools, private search, multi-engine search, voice search, and smarter browser workflows. A CLEANER, MORE AD-FREE BROWSER GuardianBrowser includes built-in protections designed to reduce common advertising, tracking, promotional overlays, and web clutter. Features include: • Ad and tracker blocking • Cosmetic removal of common ad placements • Private browsing tabs • Per-site protection controls • Security-focused browser defaults No browser can guarantee every ad disappears on every site, but GuardianBrowser is designed to make no ad browsing and ad free browser use feel significantly cleaner. PRIVATE BROWSING BY DESIGN GuardianBrowser is a private browser designed to minimize unnecessary access to browsing activity, credentials, and sensitive information. Private tabs stay separate from agent workflows. Passwords, passkeys, verification codes, payment details, cookies, and session secrets are not designed to be exposed to GuardianBrowser's agent system. Use Apple Password AutoFill and compatible password managers such as 1Password for credential entry. GuardianBrowser Pro GuardianBrowser Pro unlocks advanced AI browser and agentic browsing features. Agent Assist Give GuardianBrowser a goal and let it help guide you through supported web tasks, including navigation, finding controls, clicking links, focusing form fields, and following multi-step workflows. Sensitive actions remain under your control. AI Text Signals GuardianBrowser can analyze visible webpage text and identify writing patterns that may indicate AI-generated content. It can highlight likely AI-written passages, show confidence indicators, filter high-confidence AI text, reveal hidden passages at any time, and read detected passages aloud. AI Text Signals are probabilistic and should not be treated as proof of authorship. BUILT FOR AGENTIC WORKFLOWS GuardianBrowser includes support for modern computer-use and coding-agent workflows, with guidance for compatible tools such as Hermes Agent, Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, BuilderStudio.dev, and other automation systems. GuardianBrowser supports accessibility-friendly controls, deep links, Agent Assist, and browser automation entry points to make external agent workflows more reliable. VOICE SEARCH Search naturally using your voice with live microphone activity visualization so you can see when GuardianBrowser is listening. ORGANIZED TABS Keep browsing organized with separate Personal and Work spaces. Preview pages, switch tabs, create new tabs, separate work and personal browsing, and return to recently used pages quickly. GuardianBrowser In Messages Use GuardianBrowser directly from Messages to ask questions, search and share results, insert GuardianBrowser result cards, open searches in the full browser, and hand supported Agent Tasks to GuardianBrowser. You always choose when a message is sent. MADE FOR A BETTER INTERNET If you’re looking for an AI browser, private browser, ad free browser, search engine, agentic search tool, privacy search browser, secure browser, or smarter alternative to traditional browsing, GuardianBrowser brings those ideas together in one app. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://wundercorp.co/privacy
