One browser on Mac, iPhone and iPad

The same spaces, pinned tabs and history on every device.

The same pinned tabs: a thumb on iPhone, the pointer on Mac.
Each device hides pinned tabs for itself: the iPhone drops Instagram, the Mac keeps it.
The filter lists in eGlu's Settings on iPhone, and Settings › Ads and Trackers on Mac, each list with its own switch.
Filter lists on iPhone and Mac, each with its own switch.

Your data stays in your iCloud

No servers, no accounts. Ad blocking with the lists you choose.

  • Sync is off until you turn it on. Then it runs through your own iCloud, nowhere else.
  • Each device keeps its own. Open tabs, sign-ins and site data stay where they are.
  • Your lists. EasyList, EasyPrivacy, cookie banners and regional lists, each on or off.
  • Send to App. A page goes to the assistant you pick as one Markdown file, read by Apple Intelligence on the device. Nothing leaves until you choose the app.
Send to App on iPhone, and the Markdown file it hands over.

Chrome features, without Chrome weight

Extensions from the Chrome Web Store, calls in their own window and more, in a WebKit browser that takes a fraction of Chrome's disk and memory.

  • Per space. Choose the spaces each extension runs in.
  • Picture in picture for calls. A Google Meet call moves into a small window while you keep browsing.
  • Peek. A link from a pinned tab, or a pop-up, opens in a pane over the page. Close it, or keep it as a tab.
  • Little Window. Links from other apps open in a small window of their own, not among your tabs.

A design app on iPad with a Magic Keyboard: crosshair, resize, move and hand cursors, where iPadOS shows only its dot.

Web apps on iPad, as on a Mac

With a trackpad, Figma and other web apps behave as they do on a Mac.

  • A site's own cursors. eGlu draws the cursor a page asks for; iPadOS shows only its dot.
  • Pinch to zoom. A pinch on the trackpad reaches the page as in Chrome, so Figma zooms where you point.
  • Two fingers scroll. The page scrolls and glides on after a flick.

Open source

  • Swift and WebKit. One app for iPhone and iPad, one for the Mac.
  • A fork itself. eGlu began as a fork of Search, a WebKit browser for the Mac by Office Commun.

eGlu was called Safience. The App Store listing and the Mac releases still carry the old name while the new one lands.
