Store listing
By South Bay Compute, from Google Play“The text-only browser. One request per page. No images, scripts or trackers.”
Description by South Bay Compute Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Open a page and Texy makes one network request, for the document itself. It loads no images, no scripts, no stylesheets, no fonts and no beacons. Pages appear almost instantly, use a fraction of the data, and carry nothing built to distract you.
READ, NOT SCROLL
• Full pages shown as clean, structured text: headings, lists, tables, quotes, code and links
• Reader mode on demand, remembered per page
• Image alt text kept as a tappable placeholder, so nothing is lost
• Page Stats show what a page would have cost you
• content is shown, because Texy never runs JavaScript
FAST AND LIGHT
• One request per page, plus one for each redirect
• Parsing happens off the main thread
• Small memory footprint, even with several tabs open
• Works on phones and tablets
YOURS TO CONTROL
• Media stays hidden until you tap it. One tap loads one item, and nothing is prefetched
• A built-in domain blocklist stops ad, tracker and malware domains, and drops ad placeholders from the text
• Incognito tabs record no history and are never saved
• Search suggestions are off until you turn them on
BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY
• Bookmarks with folders, and full history, both searchable
• Import bookmarks from other browsers
• Sync across your devices with a free Texy account, with encryption
MAKE IT YOURS
• Themes, vibes and bundled fonts, including the Space theme
• Font scaling, TalkBack support, and localization in English, Spanish, German and French
• A start page you can shape
Some features (blocking, media, import, sync, themes and fonts) need a free Texy account. You'll be asked to sign in only when you use one. Texy's optional product analytics never include full addresses, searches or page content.
