Open source

Contribute, or fork it and make it your own.

git clone https://github.com/taehee-pd/eGlu.git
  • MIT License. Use it, change it, ship your own.
  • Swift and WebKit. One app for iPhone and iPad, and one for the Mac.
  • A fork itself. eGlu began as a fork of Search, a WebKit browser for the Mac by Office Commun.
  • Chrome extensions on Mac. Add them from the Chrome Web Store and choose the spaces each one runs in.
  • Picture in picture for calls. A Google Meet call moves into a small window of its own while you keep browsing.
  • Peek. A link from a pinned tab, or a pop-up, opens in a pane over the page, to read and close or to keep as a tab.
  • Little Window. Links from other apps open in a small window of their own, not among your tabs.

Your data stays in your iCloud

No servers. No accounts. You choose which ad-blocking lists to use.

  • Sync is off until you turn it on. Then it goes 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, sorted by Apple Intelligence on the device. Nothing is sent until you choose the app.
Send to App on iPhone, and the Markdown file it hands over.

One browser on Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Same spaces, history, and pinned tabs everywhere.

The same pinned tabs: a thumb on iPhone, the pointer on Mac.
Each device can hide a pinned tab for itself. The iPhone hides Instagram; the Mac keeps it until it chooses.
A design app on iPad with a Magic Keyboard: its own crosshair, resize, move and hand cursors, where iPadOS would show only its dot.

Web apps on iPad, as on a Mac

With a trackpad, Figma and other web apps work the way they do on a Mac.

  • A site's own cursors. eGlu draws the cursor a page asks for, which iPadOS doesn't show.
  • Pinch to zoom. A pinch on the trackpad reaches the page as it does in Chrome, so Figma zooms where you point.
  • Two fingers scroll. The page scrolls and glides on after a flick, as on a Mac.

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