Aetherium is a web browser for your iPhone and the companion of the Aetherium desktop browser. It keeps your browsing on your phone, blocks ads and trackers, and brings your bookmarks, history and tabs over from your computer when you want them. Browse your way Pick one of ten styles, each in light or dark, and a New Tab background from a set of wallpapers or your own photo. Tabs open in a grid you can search and pin. Private tabs stay out of your history and are not reopened after a restart. Fewer ads and trackers The built-in blocker uses the EasyList and EasyPrivacy lists and runs on the phone, so nothing about your browsing is sent anywhere to block ads. You can allow ads on sites you want to support. Sync that only you can read Sign in to Aetherium Sync to share bookmarks, history, open tabs and a few settings with Aetherium on your computer. Everything is encrypted on the phone with a passphrase only you know before it leaves. You can delete your Sync account from the app at any time. Logins from VaultPass Unlock your VaultPass vault with your master password or Face ID, and fill a saved login on the page you are on. Copied passwords are cleared from the clipboard after a minute. An agent that asks first Ask the agent to do something on a page, such as compare prices or fill in a long form. It reads the page and taps and types for you while you watch. It stops and asks before it buys, sends, posts, deletes or signs in, and it asks your permission before any page is sent to an AI service. Use Claude with your own Anthropic API key, an AI on your own network such as Ollama, or Claude Code on your own computer through Aetherium for desktop. Made for reading Reader view turns long articles into clean text with your choice of size, font and colors. There is also find in page, a desktop site switch, and text size for each site. Handy tools Scan a QR code, show one for the page you are on, take a screenshot of a page, and manage camera, microphone, location, pop-up and JavaScript choices for each site. Clear your history for the last hour, day, week, four weeks or all time. Profiles and Guest Keep work and home apart with profiles, each with its own tabs, bookmarks, history, theme, Sync and VaultPass. Guest mode keeps nothing after you leave.
