An open-source iPad and iPhone browser with split-screen browsing, reader tools, content blocking, tab previews, and optional page-focused AI assistance.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The browser is organized around iPad multitasking rather than a phone layout stretched across a larger screen. Its feature set includes Split View, a tab sidebar with page previews, reader mode, content blocking, incognito tabs, and Keychain-protected saved credentials. The assistant can work through several stated routes, including compatible MLX models running on-device, Apple Intelligence, a Mac gateway, or ChatGPT and Gemini web sessions. The project is published under the MIT License and includes public replies to TestFlight feedback.
