Explore Gopherspace with new CRT dark mode, Liquid Glass controls, and native iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro support.
iGopherBrowser is a modern browser for Gopherspace, built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. It keeps the protocol simple while giving classic text archives, directories, and feeds a native Apple interface.
Browse Gopher menus, read documents, follow Floodgap feeds, and move through hosts with a clean toolbar, bookmarks, history, and share support. CRT mode adds amber phosphor text, scanlines, and a dark interface that makes ASCII art and old internet archives feel right at home.
Features:
- Native Gopher browsing for menus, text, and selectors
- Bookmarks and history for favorite hosts
- CRT display mode with amber styling
- Light and dark Liquid Glass interface
- Multimedia preview support where available
- Apple platform design across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS
Whether you are exploring internet history, maintaining a Gopher tree, or just want a calmer way to read text-heavy spaces, iGopherBrowser gives Gopherspace a polished native home.
Finally an amazing gopher client for IOS. I’ve been searching for this holy grail for years.

Almost perfect!

What an amazing find in an otherwise bloated, over-modernized app store! The only thing that would make it even better is a dark mode or theme, that actually fits the look of older screens, or a terminal browser like lynx. I also have sensitivities to computer light that would genuinely make browsing in a dark mode more enjoyable. Thank you so much for this! Keep up the great work!

Hi! The app is already built with dark mode in mind and should automatically switch based on the system theme. Otherwise, I would love to hear more about this request via email at igopherbrowser@navan.emailThat way I can work with you on this.
It Works!

...If you set the link colour to something other than white – white-on-white links are tricky to see!Appart from that, it's great to see a working Gopher client on the Mac App Store, thanks!

I am glad you like this app. I will add an option to set a custom background colour for the links in the next update. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to email me at igopherbrowser@navan.email
The must-have app of 1992.

Now we need a Usenet reader and a VT-100 emulator
This update focuses on the full modern Apple-platform experience: refreshed Liquid Glass UI, improved CRT mode in dark mode, stronger bookmark/history coverage, cleaner browser behavior, and support across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS.
