What's new in Cairn.

The same notes shown once in the app after an update, and sent to TestFlight testers before each build.

1.1

Build 10
  • Essentials: sites at the top of the sidebar in every Space, with that Space's sign-in.
  • Simplify in Reader rewrites an article in plain language. The original is a tap away.
  • Sleeping tabs show a small moon, and wake up right where you left them.
  • All Tabs shows each page as you last saw it, kept only in memory.
  • Clean Up Page hides pop-ups and unlocks scrolling. Ad-blocker walls are left alone.
  • A lighter browser bar in Liquid Glass, with the page running beneath it.
  • Phone numbers, addresses and dates on a page can be tapped, like in Safari.
  • Watch a page from its menu, and Cairn tells you when it changes.

1.0

Build 9
  • Tidy files tabs into groups in the sidebar, like Arc, and now works on every iPad.
  • Ask About This Page answers from the page you're reading, and shows its sources.
  • Reader lists key points above long articles. Tap one to find it.
  • Find a page in History by describing it, like “that sleep article last week”.
  • Cairn warns about pages that look like scams, and never blocks them.

1.0

Build 8
  • A weekly Privacy Report shows the cookie pop-ups and link tracking Cairn refused.
  • Swipe a tab to close or pin it. Closed a tab by mistake? Undo brings it back.
  • A page that is already open opens in its tab. Duplicate tabs close in one tap.
  • Erase This Space signs one Space out everywhere. Other Spaces stay signed in.
  • Skills: write a request once, like “list the prices”, and run it on any page.

1.0

Build 7
  • New Settings, in the page menu: turn off anything Cairn does on its own.

1.0

Build 6
  • In a narrow window, a Spaces button brings back your Spaces and tabs.
  • VoiceOver reads the page menu and empty screens more clearly.
  • Tidy and Compare no longer cut off text at large text sizes.
  • This list: after each update, Cairn shows what changed.
