Made for the way you use iPad.
Keep Vortyra beside another app in Split View. Research, compare and move between full webpages without falling back to a stretched phone layout.
Tap the other buttons to see more screens.
Ask the page, not another tab.
Open the assistant beside what you are reading, generate a summary or continue with your own question.
- Run compatible MLX models locally on the device, with no gateway required.
- Use Apple Intelligence or an optional gateway running on your own Mac.
- Choose a ChatGPT or Gemini web session when that better fits the task.
Built for iPhone too.
The same browser, reader and assistant tools adapt to a smaller screen, with compact controls that stay out of the page’s way.
Tap the other buttons to see more screens.
Your tabs stay within reach.
Open, close and revisit pages from a sidebar that shows useful previews without taking over the whole screen.
Tabs on one side, answers on the other.
Float the tab sidebar and the assistant over the page you are reading, then close either one to get the full view back.
The first reactions.
When Vortyra was first shared with r/iosapps, people immediately volunteered to try it.
“Looks great, would definitely try it.”
“Very interesting! Go for it, you won't regret it.”
“I’d like to give it a try!”
“Or they rejected it because, out of the box, it’s better than 15 years of iPad Safari...”
“Interested!”
“Looks great! I’m interested!”
“I just downloaded your browser, and it is honestly the best thing I’ve ever used. I just wanted to reach out and say this is the best browser I’ve ever come across.”
Open by design.
