Crest 0.8 brings a redesigned Crest Studio, cleaner Settings, and one default search for every Space. • Set one default search for every Space and one for Private Browsing in the new Search settings, and choose which search engines, assistants, and sites appear. Any Space can still use its own. • Searching from a new tab ranks the pages and tabs you use most, completes sites you visit, and lists recent tabs before you type. • Design a Space's crest with a color for each part, previewed on the Space's own background. Shuffle now changes every part. • Settings has a cleaner native look, with a separate Tabs page. • Choose how much the sidebar shows the background through, from Ultra Thin to Ultra Thick, and give tabs, pinned tabs, and the address field Capsule corners. • Start on a new tab in your default Space. • Mute a tab that is playing sound from its icon. • The Back and Forward menus list nearby pages and end with Show Full History. • On iPhone, the sidebar stays full screen unless you turn on Allow floating sidebar in General settings. Fixes • iCloud sync no longer stops on your other devices after you move a tab to another Space. Sync resumes once all your devices are on this version. • Tabs with very long or unusual addresses reopen where they were instead of turning into a search. • Buttons and menus in iPad Settings respond to a single tap. • The warning for a risky download appears on iPhone.

About

Work, personal life, and everything between deserve their own Space. Crest is a native browser for iPhone and iPad that keeps your accounts separate, your tabs organized, and your browsing distinctly yours. KEEP YOUR ACCOUNTS SEPARATE Each Space has its own tabs, cookies, website data, history, passwords, and site permissions. Stay signed in to different accounts on the same website. Switch from work to personal browsing without carrying the wrong session with you. GIVE EVERY TAB A PLACE Pin the sites you use every day. Save pages in folders. Keep today's tabs close and completed work in the archive. Select and move tabs, folders, and Split View groups together. On iPhone, bring in the sidebar with a gesture; on iPad, keep it beside your page. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Start from Winter, Lion, or another template in Crest Studio, then choose a color for each part of the crest and the sidebar. Choose a crest, emoji, monogram, or symbol. Appearance settings adjust the window border, sidebar material, tab corners, borders, and default page zoom. KEEP RELATED PAGES TOGETHER Group two to four pages in Split View. On iPad, browse them side by side and resize the columns. On iPhone, swipe across the compact toolbar to move between pages in the group. Peek lets you check supported links without losing your place, then keep the page as a tab when you need it. TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY BROWSING Choose one default search for every Space and another for Private Browsing, or pick one for a single Space. Search from a new tab to find the pages and tabs you use most. Translate webpages on device with Apple's Translation framework. Read supported articles in Reader, find text on a page, adjust zoom, share links, and export pages. Content blocking and site permissions give you control over each Space. Language availability varies, and translation may require a language download. PRIVATE WHEN YOU NEED IT Private Browsing uses temporary website storage. Private tabs stay out of saved history, restoration, archive, and sync. Crest does not run an advertising SDK, collect browsing analytics, or require a Crest account. PICK UP ON ANOTHER DEVICE Optional iCloud sync keeps supported Space and tab organization available across your Apple devices through your private iCloud database. Crest is also available for Mac. Crest is free and open source, built with Apple's WebKit. Requires iOS 26.1 or iPadOS 26.1 or later. Some website features and integrations vary by device.
