Plug in your iPhone and your computer is online anywhere. New: ad and tracker blocking to load less and save data, plus DNS over HTTP/2. For Mac, Linux and OpenWrt.
Your computer, online anywhere.
Hotel Wi-Fi won’t connect? Broadband down at home? On a call at a café? Connect your iPhone to your computer with a cable, open CellGlide and tap Start sharing, and your computer keeps working on your phone’s connection. Unplug and the computer goes back to its own network.
Works with Mac, Linux and OpenWrt routers
• Mac and Linux computers: install the CellGlide app and it connects when you plug in
• OpenWrt routers: plug your iPhone into the router and the devices you choose go online through it, even when the home broadband is down
Why you can rely on it
• Plug in and go: with CellGlide on your computer it connects when you plug in, no setup each time
• See how it’s doing: live speeds, network quality, latency and loss, and a heads-up when something breaks
• Recovers on its own: retries when the phone’s connection drops; send diagnostics in one tap if you need help
• Leaves your settings alone: never changes Wi-Fi or other saved network settings
Clear on your iPhone too
• Dynamic Island countdown and live speeds, plus a black focus page that saves power
• This month’s data, allowance reminders and Data saver to protect your plan
• Network quality, speed tests and recent results to compare places and networks
• Encrypted DNS (DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS) and DNS acceleration
Going online through your iPhone uses your cellular plan; follow your carrier’s terms. Requires CellGlide on your computer or router, free at cellglide.com; the Mac app needs macOS 13 or later.
• New ad and tracker blocking: your computer loads less and uses less data
• Encrypted DNS now supports HTTP/2, with four more providers
• More accurate charging power estimates
• A redesigned speed test share card
• Bug fixes and stability improvements
