Introducing Shimmer Browser - The focus browser!
Easily browse your frequently used news or learning websites, or limit your browsing of social media sites! All your passwords and ad-blockers from Safari are immediately available, for convenient and distraction free-browsing!
Shimmer lets you save a set of frequently accessed tabs, to be synced between your devices using iCloud.
If you browse social media too much, use Shimmer to limit your browsing sessions with the new "Session limit" feature! Limit your browsing to X sessions in Y time period.
The home-screen widget can show all your synced sites, only your selected sites. Choose just one site to add it to your homescreen as a really big icon!
Shimmer also solves tabs piling up! You can clear all tabs with just a button press, or disable browser tabs completely to only show your saved sites.
If you're reading this far, you may be interesting in tab triage! When a link on a saved site takes you to a new page, the site opens in a card, with options to quickly close, save for later, or continue in a new tab. It's a power-user feature you get when you swap from In-App Safari to the full browsing experience.
