Keep pages.
Lar is a browser for iPhone and iPad, made for people who keep pages around. Every page joins a thread by where you started, so a hundred pages stay as easy to find as three.
Join the public beta on TestFlightFor people who keep pages around
You keep a page open because you’re not done with it: the recipe for the weekend, the desk you might buy, the trip you’re planning. Other browsers turn that into a pile you have to sort through. Lar is built for keeping.
- Nothing to tidy No grid of tiny cards and no count creeping up. Pages sort themselves into threads, each with a name, when it ran and where it started.
- Find it by when Threads are grouped by day, and search understands time words, so temple today or hotels last week just works.
- Closed isn’t gone Closing a page is optional. If you do and change your mind, Time Travel brings it back.
One afternoon, one thread
Here’s a single thread, Kyoto in autumn, from the first search to getting it back later.
-
Start
A search starts a thread
So does a typed address or a link from another app. Every page you open from there joins the same thread, and the thread gets a name.

Done with one
Close a page, if you want to
You never have to. When a page has served its purpose, swipe it up in the card, or long-press it and choose Close Page.
A thread always keeps at least one page.
Swipe up · or long-press › Close Page

Next day
Find it again by day
Threads lists everything you opened, grouped by day. Each thread shows when it ran, how many pages it has, and where it started.

Any day
Search the way you remember
You remember roughly what it was and roughly when. Search for both: temple today finds the pages that mention it, from that day, with the words highlighted.
Search runs on your device.

- AppsSites you live in become Apps, with their own icon, one swipe up away.
- ProfilesSeparate cookies and sign-ins for each profile.
- Named for youThreads get names from Apple Intelligence on your device, when it’s available and on.
- Links from other appsA link from Mail or Messages starts its own thread, so it never mixes into what you were doing.
Private by design
Keeping everything only works if it stays yours. Lar has no servers of its own, and the developer collects no data.
- No analytics, ads or accountsNo crash reporting SDKs either. Lar only loads the pages and searches you ask for.
- On your device and your iCloudBrowsing data stays on your device and, if you turn it on, syncs through your own iCloud, encrypted.
- Lists inside the appBlocking uses lists that ship inside the app, so nothing about the pages you visit is sent anywhere to check them.
- Named on deviceThread names come from Apple Intelligence on your iPhone or iPad, never a cloud service.
