Desktop-style browsing
Full tabs, favorites, split-screen support and navigation designed around the larger iPad canvas.
A browser built for iPad.
Vortex brings desktop-style browsing, useful multitasking and AI tools into one focused browser for iPad and iPhone.
AI where you need it
Summarize, explain and ask questions about the page without breaking your reading flow.
Reader and privacy tools
Reader mode, content blocking, incognito tabs and saved credentials protected by Apple Keychain.
Made for the way you use iPad.
Keep Vortex beside another app in Split View. Research, compare and move between full webpages without falling back to a stretched phone layout.
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.
Your tabs stay within reach.
Open, close and revisit pages from a sidebar that shows useful previews without taking over the whole screen.
