Release Notes

• Reordering silos is now smoother and more reliable on iOS 27
• Improved the URL tracking parameter cleaner. Tracking parameters are now removed as you browse and follow links, not just on the initial navigation
• Fixed an issue when saving HTML pages as PDFs where the .pdf extension wasn’t added correctly if the URL already ended in an extension such as .html or .php

• Added a per-silo toggle to disable DNS Prefetching & Ping. Previously always disabled, this can now be enabled for improved website compatibility
• Fixed an issue where opening App Store links could cause the app to get stuck in a loop
• Fixed an issue where using the app refresh support link could remove custom proxy credentials
• Improved cookie banner and app install banner filtering
• Improved error handling and reporting during app launch
• Slightly improved app launch time

Psylo 1.3.1 focuses on strengthening privacy protections and improving reliability.

Privacy

• Fixed a potential IP leak through the WebTransport and WebAuthn (Passkeys) JavaScript APIs. These APIs are now disabled by default for all silos and can be re-enabled individually from the Advanced section of each silo.
• Fixed a potential DNS leak caused by DNS prefetching via HTML link tags. DNS prefetching is now completely disabled.

Improvements

• Fixed an issue that could cause content filtering and ad blocking to work unreliably for some users.
• Added an option to manually re-download content filters if one or more filters fail to download.
• Updated the TLS certificates used for Psylo Server certificate pinning.
• Minor wording improvements on the subscription screen.

Psylo 1.3.0 focuses on speed, stronger anti-fingerprinting, and a smoother day-to-day browsing experience. Thank you to everyone whose feedback helped shape these improvements.

Performance

• Faster cold launch: Your silos appear faster, while session refresh happens in the background as you begin browsing.
• Smoother silo grid: Scrolling through your silos is more responsive, especially if you have a large collection.
• Smoother browsing: Page scrolling and showing or hiding the keyboard feel more responsive, with fewer layout jumps.
• Low Power Mode optimizations: Glass effects are automatically reduced to keep Psylo feeling fast while Low Power Mode is enabled.

Anti-Fingerprinting

• Broader protection: Anti-fingerprinting now covers an even wider range of fingerprinting surfaces, including WebGL, AudioContext, font metrics, screen metrics, and more.
• Deeper locale & timezone masking: Language and timezone protection now extends deeper into the browser stack.
• Improved website compatibility: Better compatibility with websites that use bot-detection services such as Cloudflare Turnstile, reducing false “bot” detections without compromising privacy protections.

Improvements

• Download confirmation: Review site-initiated downloads before they begin, with progress toasts and easier sharing or opening files in the Files app.
• Link previews: Long-press any link to preview its URL before opening or copying it.
• Improved error pages: Failed page loads now display a clearer error screen with a retry button.
• Reload from the silo list: Reload a silo directly from its context menu without opening it first.
• Paste & Go: The address bar and Quick Launch now make Paste & Go easier to access through the context menu.

Psylo doesn’t collect any app analytics, so your feedback is the only way we know what’s working and what isn’t. If you’re enjoying Psylo, leaving a review on the App Store is one of the best ways to support the project and help us continue building new privacy-focused features.

New Features

• Custom Proxy Support: Bring your own SOCKS5 or HTTP/HTTPS proxies, in addition to the built-in Mysk Private Proxy Network.

Improvements

• Address bar position: Choose to place the address bar at the top or bottom of the browser window.
• Safari Web Inspector: Per-silo option to connect to Safari Web Inspector on macOS.
• Duplicate silo: New context menu option to duplicate a silo with all its settings.
• Reorganized settings screen: Improved layout and navigation in the main settings screen.

• Silos without a default URL no longer automatically focus the address bar
• Added a reminder in Settings to rate Psylo

If you’re enjoying Psylo, leaving a review really helps. Apps with more ratings are more likely to appear in App Store search results, and the increased visibility allows us to grow Psylo and keep improving the app.

Psylo 1.1.0 is here!

Our first major update. A huge thank-you to all early adopters for the feedback and support. This release focuses on delivering the most requested features since launch.

New Features

• Quick Launch: An address bar right on the main silos screen to search or browse through any proxy—no need to create a silo first.
• Search Engines: Set a default search engine or add your own custom engines.
• Content Filtering: Block ads, cookie banners, app-install popups, and other web annoyances.
• URL Tracking Cleaner: Automatically strips tracking parameters from URLs as you browse.

Improvements

• Better external link handling: Choose a default proxy/region or a default silo for opening external links.
• Refresh option in collapsed mode: Added a refresh button to the address bar’s context menu when collapsed.
• Blank silos: Create a silo without specifying a website—it opens to a blank page.
