About this app

Developer Description

Advanced Web Browser for Power Users, optimized for Lite Apps & Privacy

BETTER THAN NATIVE APPS

• Lite Apps take up almost no space, best for low storage devices
• They don’t run in the background, which saves battery
User Scripts: Run your own custom extension scripts!
Content Blocker: Block ads, malware, misinformation, & targeted propaganda. Built-in & customizable: You can pick what to block.

BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BROWSERS

COMPARE HERMIT WITH TRADITIONAL BROWSERS
https://hermit.chimbori.com/features/compare

• Each Lite App opens in its own permanent window, not a new browser tab each time
• Links clicked in other apps can be opened directly in Hermit Lite Apps
• Settings, permissions, themes & icons are saved separately for each Lite App
• Share links from other Android apps to your Lite Apps

SANDBOXES: MULTIPLE PROFILES / CONTAINERS

Hermit is the only Android browser with Sandboxes: Isolated Containers with Multiple Profiles.

• Sandboxes keep your Web browsing isolated in separate containers
• Use multiple accounts, all active at the same time, in the same browser
• Keep work accounts and personal accounts separate
• Ideal for privacy-invasive social sites
• Use permanent Incognito Mode for sites that offer free content to new users

ADVANCED BROWSER FOR POWER USERS

It takes a bit of learning & understanding to use Hermit effectively — We’re here to help!

Yeah Ok Yeah Ok

After hours of searching, I found it. An app that lets you make "PWAs" (aka lite apps) for non pwa sites absolutely free. No more address bar taking up space. no more notifications bothering you. This app is the key to my lock. the Jam to my peanut butter. absolutely perfect. I can now goon in peace.

This app is fantastic for managing all the different restaurants and stores that would like to install their own app onto my device. With the vast majority of them, their website is exactly the same as the app, short of them gathering unnecessary data of me. The only issue I have with it is when you set an icon in the theming section that's not the icon that gets used in the recents view, the website icon gets used and sometimes those are really poor quality.

Edit: over time, it has become less and less useful for me. Missing Passkeys support and more webview limitations mean that I can't actually use it at all. A bit away from perfection. 1. Actual Budget doesn't work in Hermit due to what seems to be a limitation of Android's WebView. 2. UI dark mode seems tied to browser dark mode and can't be changed independently.
