Description

Incognito is a private web browser you can pull up anywhere. From any app: long-press a link or select text, tap “Share”, and then choose the Incognito action extension. Boom: instant web browser!

John Gruber called Incognito “excellent” in a post on Daring Fireball.

As has been widely reported, many popular apps use their in-app browsers to spy on their users’ browsing activity. Incognito helps you browse securely: just pop up Incognito’s action extension and browse in private.

Need to lock people out of your web history and bookmarks? Incognito can do that too!

Incognito is great for:

  • Viewing a web page inside the current app without jumping to Safari.
  • Opening sketchy links without risking your privacy.
  • Reopening a web page with cookies disabled — and yes, that means Incognito lets you dodge most paywalls.
  • Searching Google from anywhere — just select the text you want to search for, choose “Share” from the context menu, and then launch the “Search in Incognito” action! Don’t like Google? Use DuckDuckGo, Kagi, ChatGPT, Bing or something else!
  • Keeping your web history and bookmarks private and passcode-locked. Or you can disable browsing history and leave no trace!

Incognito is also a Swiss Army Knife of web tools:

  • Open a page in another browser such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, or DuckDuckGo.
  • Remove AMP so you can browse or share the original URL.
  • Translate the page using Google Translate (beta).
  • Open links with the archive.is service.
  • Set as default browsers.
  • Clear your session history.

Incognito is all about privacy:

  • All web browsing is in “private mode” by default, so all cookies and web data are discarded after each session.
  • Incognito has no ads, no third-party trackers, and does not send or re-route your web searches anywhere.
  • If you require extra privacy, Incognito has options to disable browsing history and/or exclude it from your iCloud Backups.

Incognito is paid-upfront — that means no ads, no subscriptions, no sketchy search engines or trackers, and no bait-and-switch.

Incognito was created by Adam Overholtzer, an independent developer living in California.
