Blindfold
Browse like ads never existed.
1 month free · $7.99/year or $19.99 lifetime
Blindfold makes Safari feel like the web was never broken: no ads, no trackers, no cookie walls, no newsletter pop-ups, no “please disable your ad blocker” guilt trips. It ships with more than 200,000 blocking rules across three lists you control independently, and they refresh over the air every day from a public repository anyone can inspect. Turn on Blindfold Everywhere and that protection extends system-wide to every app through on-device DNS filtering, with no traffic ever routed through a server we run. Where other blockers keep their rules on a backend you cannot see, Blindfold shows you everything: every list, every source, every AI-written and custom rule, all editable and deletable in the app. Try it free for 1 month, then $7.99 a year or $19.99 once, Family Sharing included with both.

Features
200,000+ Rules
Three curated lists you can toggle independently: ad networks, privacy trackers, and page clutter like cookie walls and sticky overlays. Built from EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and Fanboy's Annoyance, plus regional lists for a dozen countries most blockers ignore.
Blocks Ads In Every App
Turn on Blindfold Everywhere and on-device DNS filtering blocks ads and trackers system-wide, not just in Safari. Nothing routes through a Blindfold server: you pick the resolver and your device talks to it directly.
Answers Cookie Pop-Ups
Blindfold taps reject on your behalf, using the site's own consent tools where it recognizes them so the rejection actually sticks, and hiding the pop-up outright otherwise.
Learns New Ads On-Device
When something slips through, Apple's on-device model studies it after the page loads and a precise hiding rule gets written for that site. Nothing you browse ever leaves your iPhone.
Nothing Hidden
Every filter list, rule count, and source is visible in the app. Toggle a list off, edit or delete individual AI and custom rules, or point Blindfold at your own public rule repository. No secret server-side backend.
Always Up To Date
Filter lists refresh over the air, daily, with no App Store update and no waiting for the next release. Defense against detection walls is built in, so you are never nagged to switch it off to read.
