Changelog

Version 0.1.1 cooks and goes dark.

5 November 2026

Everything new since the first public version.

Cook Mode. On a page that publishes a recipe, one step at a time in big text, with the ingredients to tick off and the screen kept awake. Open it from the page menu. Amounts and steps are the site's own, not written by AI.
Timers that ring. Tap a time in a step and it counts down on screen, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, then rings as an alarm, through silent mode and with roko closed.

Close all your tabs at once. Hold the tabs button in the bar. Undo brings them back with their history, and private tabs stay until they're all that's left.
Search with Qwant, or an engine of your own. A name and an address, in Settings > Search engine.
iPhone search finds your pinned sites and opens your to-do and shopping lists. What's on the lists stays out of it.
A search field in the bar when roko opens with your tabs. It turns back into the + once you scroll.
Turned sideways, tab cards sit side by side.

Pages load sooner. Cookie rules now load after the page rather than before it, so a known pop-up can show for a moment before it's answered.
Links that open roko start their page about 80 ms sooner.
More ads and trackers blocked, including hosts the usual lists miss. In our test, roko stopped 102 of 122.
The first launch after an update is as quick as any other, unless the block lists changed.

The page fills the screen when you hold it open sideways, with the bar floating over it and folding away as you scroll.
Reader is a book. A page each side of the fold, a real page curl, and text size down the outer edge.
Side by side at the fold. A summary beside its live page, a Browse for Me source beside its answer, and Read Later as a list beside the article.
Tabs are a grid of wide cards, each with its name and a close button under it.
Propped open, Cook Mode's step stands above the fold and the rest lies below it.
Lying flat, the bar's field and search run across the screen, and the page menu opens in the middle.
Messages no longer straddle the fold.

Open source. The code is on GitHub under GPL-3.0, and About roko links each credit.
Sharing an answer as a public page is gone. Pages you already shared can still be taken down in Settings.

4 November 2026

The first version anyone can install, so this is everything it came with.

One bar across the app, shaped for the screen it's on.
It knows what you mean. The first row is the site you named, Browse for Me for a question, or a new to-do for words that read like one.
Answers as you type. Weather, sums, units, rates, time zones, days until, your next event. Pin the ones you want to keep.
Hold + and say it. A site's name opens the site, a question goes to Browse for Me, anything else lands in the bar.
Pages open the moment you press Go. The top row starts loading while you type.

Pull down to summarize. A long pull from the top turns the page into its summary.
Browse for Me. Ask something and roko reads the web and writes the answer, with its sources and room for follow-ups.
Shaped by what they're about. A recipe gets a checklist and steps, a comparison a side-by-side table, a price question the price first.
Apple's model on your iPhone, with no account. Add your own Claude API key if you want one.
Notify Me. Say what to look for on a page, and roko checks it and tells you.

Ads and trackers blocked, with a switch for each site. Empty ad boxes fold away.
Cookie pop-ups answered. Rejected wherever a site allows it, accepted only where it needs them.
Hide Distracting Items. Tap something twice and it stays gone on that site.
Clean links. Copy Link and Share leave out what only says where a link came from.

Split View. Two tabs on screen, with a divider that stays where you let go.
Mini player. Sound and video in a tab you've left get a slim player under the page, with Picture in Picture.
Peek at links. Touch and hold one to see its page live.
Closed tabs are a tap from coming back, with their history.
Swipe anywhere on a page to go back or forward, and pinch in to see your tabs.
Forms stay safe. What you typed comes back if a page crashes. Passwords and card numbers are never kept.
Read Later. Pages kept with their text, gathered by subject and summarized together.
Downloads. Progress, pause and resume, also in the Files app.
Translate any page, into the languages you choose.
Private tabs say so in the bar, offer nothing of yours, and can lock behind Face ID.

Today. Weather, calendar, to-dos and top stories, first thing each day.
To-do. One list that sorts itself. Type it the way you'd say it, and it stays the same as Apple Reminders if you like.
Shopping lists that sort into aisles, in English or Croatian, and learn what you buy.
Home Screen widgets. To-dos to tick off, the weather, any answer you pinned.
iCloud sync for pins, history and settings, through your own account.
Sync with your Mac, through roko's Raycast extension. To-dos and shopping lists stay the same, and links you send open as tabs.
roko from outside it. Control Center, the Lock Screen, the Action button, Shortcuts, Siri and the share sheet.

Controls keep off the fold, and Split View parts at it.
Propped open like a small laptop, the page stands above and the lower half is its trackpad.
