'Browsy' is a minimalist browser for iOS that provides a simple and distraction-free screen. While many iOS users tend to prefer Safari or Chrome, Browsy may be a useful alternative for easily distracted individuals.
Browsy's main feature is that it provides a full-screen view of whatever you are working on. With no URL bar and no additional buttons, all you will see is the webpage you are currently working on. Beyond its distraction-free screen, Browsy also has added features such as Omnibar tricks and a 'keep screen awake' mode, which is useful for reading recipes and online guides.
While the minimalist browser may not be for everyone, Browsy is an excellent option for iOS users who prefer a less cluttered screen.
