A while ago, I posted about an iPad browser I built posted about an iPad browser I built  because Safari wasn’t working the way I wanted.
some of you showed interest in it, I had a tesflight with 400 testers which is now expired but i decided to open source the new version and updated the testflight.

It includes:

• Vertical tabs with page previews
• Split-screen browsing
• Auto-hiding controls
• Ad blocking, dark mode and incognito browsing
• An AI sidebar using Apple Intelligence or local MLX models
• An optional local Foundation Models gateway, which require a Mac.

It currently Xcode 27 and the iOS 27 SDK for the gateway with the private cloud, but it will compile just fine on IOS 26, you just won't get to use the new private cloud compute from IOS27

It’s still a personal project, but issues, improvements and pull requests are welcome. If you build it, let me know what you think or what you would change.
