FAQ

Tweed is a general-purpose WebKit browser for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The chrome is a sidebar: pins in a strip at the top, tab groups and tabs below, Library / Downloads / Settings at the bottom. Spaces isolate that furniture so work, research, and personal browsing do not share one pile.

BunnyX (Guangzhou Benli Technology Co., Ltd.) publishes it. There is no Tweed account. The App Store English name is Tweed Browser because Apple rejected the standalone name “Tweed” as taken.

Not yet. The public TestFlight is the way to install it. Capacity is limited by Apple. Default-browser entitlement is a product goal; TestFlight builds may not appear in Settings as a default browser until Apple approves that capability.

One codebase across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Compact iPhone chrome and iPad/Mac sidebar layouts are both first-class. System version requirements are listed on TestFlight and will appear on the App Store page at launch.

Pins above, tabs below — the same sentence the first-run tour uses. Drag a tab onto the pin strip to pin it. Drag up or down to reorder. Create a group, then drop tabs into it, or multi-select (⌘-click on Mac) and group the set. On iPad and Mac, drag a tab onto the page for Split View. History and bookmarks open from the chevron at the bottom of the sidebar; on iPhone, bookmarks also live in the compact toolbar.

A tab group lives inside a Space. A Space is the room: its own pins, pin groups, tab groups, and tabs, with a name and a color. Swipe left or right in the sidebar to change rooms. A group is for related pages in the room you are already in.

New Spaces start empty. They do not clone another Space’s tabs. If you only have one Space, Tweed does not show a pager you do not need.

No. Each device remembers which Space it is using. iCloud can carry the furniture of a Space to the other device; it does not steal the page you are looking at here when you swipe over there. On a new device, Tweed asks which Space that device should use — including the option to start from a blank one.

Deleted Spaces go to an archive with their settings, tabs, pins, and groups. Restore brings that room back. Permanent delete is a separate confirmation, and you cannot restore after that.

When iCloud is on, Tweed syncs tabs, groups, bookmarks, and history — including pins — through CloudKit on your Apple ID. Downloads and settings stay on the device. Website sign-ins stay on the device. Synced history lives in your iCloud account and is protected by iCloud.

New installs default to sync on. An explicit off preference is not overwritten by an update.

No. Settings → Privacy & Data can clear history, cookies, and cache. That does not delete Spaces, the bookmark furniture you meant to keep, or files in Downloads. Website logins are those sites’ cookies; clearing them signs you out of websites, not out of Tweed — there is no Tweed login to sign out of.

Settings → import or export. Tweed reads HTML, ZIP, JSON, and TXT, including Netscape bookmark HTML from Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Arc. Folders and order are preserved. You can export the same way back out. Safari Reading List imports as folders.

Reader (article extraction), system translate, find in page, page zoom, Picture in Picture, a media collector for images and video on the current page, and downloads that remain on-device. Translation and Collector can be pinned to the toolbar from Settings. Address bar search uses ⌘L or ⌘K on keyboards.
