talavo: Video & Music Browser
AdBlock, PiP, Background Audio
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every feature is free, forever. Premium is $0.99/month and only removes a briefly shown ad every now and then. No paywall, no Pro tier, no upsell loop.
The web has gone sideways. Ads play before, during, and after every video. Short-form content hijacks the feed. Comments race to the bottom. talavo is a native iOS browser that strips all of it.
Open a video. No pre-roll, no mid-roll, no banners. No vertical video shelves at the top. No comments unless you ask. No end cards stealing the last twenty seconds. What's left is the thing you came to watch.
Lock your phone and the audio keeps playing. Lock-screen controls show the title with next and previous buttons. Set a sleep timer and it counts down inside the Dynamic Island. Hold a video down with two fingers and it becomes a floating Picture-in-Picture mini-player you can drag anywhere on screen while you scroll a different tab.
This is not a Safari extension. It is a real browser, built for iPhone, designed to put the controls where your thumb already is.

WHAT TALAVO COSTS
Nothing. Every feature is free, forever. talavo Premium ($0.99/month) removes a brief ad we show every now and then. That is it. There is no paywall around features, no "Pro" tier hiding PiP behind a subscription, no upsell loop. Premium exists so the two indie devs who built this can keep building it.
PRIVACY
talavo has no user accounts. No email, no sign-in, no Apple ID required. We don't track what you watch. The ad-blocking rules ship pre-compiled - your device runs them locally, nothing about your browsing leaves your phone.
Built by two indie devs who got tired of the iPhone video browsing experience.
Subscriptions auto-renew at $0.99/month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
