Ant Browser: the web, wrist-sized
I created Ant Browser because I love my Apple Watch, and I bet you do too. Sometimes, you just want to leave your phone behind, right? Whether you're out for a run, grabbing a coffee, or just trying to avoid distractions, Ant Browser brings the web to your wrist. Quickly look up what you need, all without your iPhone in hand.
KEY FEATURES
• Built for Your Watch: Ant Browser is crafted specifically for the Apple Watch's screen. No squinting, no awkward scrolling—just a smooth browsing experience on a small canvas.
• Phone-Free Freedom: Have a cellular Apple Watch? Browse the web anywhere without needing your phone nearby.
• Bookmarks That Follow You: Save your favorite sites, and they'll sync seamlessly across your devices including iPhone and iPad.
• Smart Input, Less Hassle: URL auto-complete, browsing history, and full support for voice, scribble, and keyboard inputs to make browsing easier.
• Search Your Way: Choose your preferred search engine and start finding what you need.
WHY I BUILT ANT BROWSER
• Quick Access: Need to check something on the fly? Ant Browser makes it happen fast.
• Stay Synced: Your bookmarks are there when you need them, whether on your watch or back on your phone.
• Easy to Use: No fuss, just clean, intuitive browsing designed for the Apple Watch. Simple but smart.
WHERE ANT BROWSER SHINES
• Finding book reviews while browsing a store.
• Checking headlines during your morning run.
• Getting movie showtimes when you're out.
• Converting currency when you're abroad.
• Viewing menus before sitting down at a restaurant.
WHAT MAKES ANT BROWSER DIFFERENT
Ant Browser wasn't just thrown together; it's built with care and attention to detail. I wanted it to feel light, responsive, and intuitive, even on a small screen.
The goal is to make typing and searching on a watch stress-free. With smart features like URL completion and website name fetching, Ant Browser helps you type less and browse more. It's like having a tiny but mighty browser always at your fingertips.
While it won't replace the browser on your phone, it's perfect for those quick checks when pulling out your iPhone feels like overkill.
Ant Browser: Your Apple Watch just got smarter. Less phone, more freedom.
