In case it wasn’t clear, toolbar customization in Quiche Browser is pretty much infinite. #browser #ios #ux #indiedev #buildinpublic #iosdev

Best browser I’ve used so far. Do yourself a favour and try it!

Quiche Browser’s default favorites reflect the web I like: good design, good writing, good content. And people seem to notice ❤︎ In other browsers, default favorites are companies paying to be included (Amazon, Expedia...), or garbage like Facebook or X. I can’t think of a worse first impression.

While designing Comfort Mode in Quiche Browser, a tricky problem I had to be thoughtful about: When you hold your phone in your right hand, favorite icons in the top left are harder to reach than ones on the right. Search suggestions don’t have this problem since they span the width of the screen.

My indie iOS browser just got featured in a print magazine for the first time! If you’re in the UK, you might want to grab the latest issue of MacFormat, in case it becomes a collector item when I get world famous. #buildinpublic #browser #ios

It’s 2026, and Quiche Browser is still the only non-Apple iOS browser that: • Has a floating Liquid Glass toolbar • Displays web pages full screen, from top to bottom #buildinpublic #indiedev #browser #iOS #iOSDev #ux

In 2025, Quiche Browser got 57 updates full of refinements, fixes, and features like: • Website Darkening • Comfort Mode • A major redesign • The only Liquid Glass toolbar in a non-Apple iOS browser All of that while juggling other work for half the year.

Yesterday, Quiche ᴘʟᴜꜱ passed 450 members for the first time… And on my birthday! A 350% increase in a year. It still feels unreal to me that so many of you are helping fund the development of Quiche Browser. Thank you all so very much 🙏🙇‍♂️🤍🩶🖤 #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev

Quiche Browser’s Comfort Mode lets you place tabs, favorites, and search suggestions exactly where they feel most comfortable, no matter your phone size or how far your thumb can stretch. (Designing this simple setup took me longer than building the feature itself 🤦‍♂️) #buildinpublic #browser #ios

Just shipped in Quiche Browser: Comfort Mode! It moves tabs, favorites, and search suggestions slightly lower, making them easier to reach when using your phone with one hand. The bigger your iPhone, the more you may like this. #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

Quiche Browser’s Comfort Mode will be available to all Quiche ᴘʟᴜꜱ members on Monday! Been testing it for over two weeks on my big iPhone Air, and I’m definitely keeping it on ☺️

Got a DM about Quiche Browser and the recent WebKit 0-days, so a quick clarification just in case: No need to worry ☺️ Like all third-party iOS browsers, Quiche Browser is covered as long as you’ve updated to iOS 18.7.3 or iOS 26.2.

Wow, apparently Quiche Browser can convert long-time Android users to iOS now? I'm speechless… Messages like this are why indie development is so special 🥹

"The beta version of Quiche [Browser] for the iPad feels more responsive and has none of the odd quirks I see on Orion. It lacks extension/plugin support but it's got quite a few custom options for the interface that Orion lacks." 🙏🙇‍♂️ beardystarstuff.net/posts/2025-1...

Quiche Browser’s next feature is not revolutionary, but it’s simple, (hopefully) useful, thoughtfully designed, and not found elsewhere. Like pretty much everything I pour into this app. Coming soon. (Still time to draw a better icon.) #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

Twitter recently started force-opening links in Safari when you’re browsing from another iOS browser, for no reason other than staying on brand and being awful at everything it does. Quiche Browser now blocks that.

Per popular request, Quiche Browser’s tab overview now has a proper “Done” button in the bottom-right corner. Somehow I thought no one needed it… but I was clearly wrong 😅 Also! The tabs menu has been reordered to make switching to private tabs faster and to prevent accidental deletes.

Indie App Spotlight: ‘Quiche’ is an iPhone web browser that fits your needs

Remembering Steve, today and every day stevejobsarchive.com

One week since #LiquidGlass landed, and only one third-party iOS browser has fully adopted it 😇 I worked all summer to make Quiche Browser feel right at home on #iOS26. Surprising to see bigger teams so slow on such a major design update. People really do notice when apps look outdated.

i simply cannot sing the praises of Quiche enough. It is so damn customizable and really feels like the best iteration of a WebKit browser can be.

Back to using Quiche, it felt just a bit too flat before and the simple material switch really does it for me. It’s so good and so fun and fast to tweak, can’t praise it enough

If you’re using Quiche Browser on iOS 18 or earlier, please update to version 1.64.5 immediately: apps.apple.com/us/app/quich... Because of a careless coding mistake I introduced in 1.64.4, the app was crashing badly. The new release fixes this issue. My deepest apologies for the disruption 🙇‍♂️

Quiche Browser is now updated for iOS 26 with a beautiful, floating Liquid Glass toolbar! If you like Safari’s new toolbar but wish you could pick and place the buttons you need most, now might be the time to switch. And if you miss the look of Safari iOS 18, you can switch to the Classic theme!

Look Mom, I’m on WIRED! So so so happy to be quoted about Liquid Glass, dropping a Dieter Rams principle as if I were an actual designer 😅 www.wired.com/story/liquid...

#LiquidGlass is coming to Quiche Browser on Monday! Safari’s new toolbar on #iOS26 is nice… but what if you could choose and place every button, or hide it completely for full-screen browsing? That’s the kind of minimalist-oriented customization Quiche Browser has been built around since day one.

Nice weekend surprise: Quiche Browser got featured a second time in this week’s issue of The Verge’s Installer newsletter! I don't know @paulusschoutsen.nl, but turns out it was his last browser before moving to Android 🥲

Today feels like the right day to remind everyone what Quiche Browser stands for.

The Glass effects might not be for everyone, but can we all agree the Liquid animations are gorgeous? #ios26 #liquidglass #buildinpublic #browser

Things are starting to shape up for Quiche Browser on iOS 26! The redesigned Tabs settings screen will let you switch between the Liquid Glass and Classic themes in just one tap. (Warning: may make you hungry for actual quiche.) #buildinpublic #browser #iOS26 #LiquidGlass #ux

...And don’t worry if you’re not a fan of Liquid Glass! The current toolbar theme will still be available on iOS 26. It’s called “Classic” and looks just like Quiche Browser on iOS 18, but with fully rounded corners to match the design language of iOS 26. #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ios26

Finally able to share a first look at Quiche Browser on iOS 26 with the new Liquid Glass theme. No TestFlight yet, but I’m pushing to be ready for day one 💪 #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ios26 #liquidglass #ux

For all you naughty kids already on iOS 26 beta, you might want to update Quiche Browser from the App Store right now. It won’t enable Liquid Glass (yet), but it does fix the most annoying bug. You guessed which one 😅 Update: apps.apple.com/app/quiche-b...

Thanks so much Ross for featuring Quiche Browser! 🙇‍♂️🙏

New in Quiche Browser: tab multi-select! For all you tab hoarders, you can finally close multiple tabs at once. You can also copy all their links to move them somewhere else. And of course, the two-finger gesture works for quick selection. #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

Also new in Quiche Browser this week: • For the first time since launch, I’ve removed a feature! Status bar tinting is now always on. Simpler color options! • The tab overview menu got rearranged a bit to make space for future sorting and grouping options🤐 #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

New in Quiche Browser this week: duplicate tabs! #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

New Quiche Browser update: when grouping tabs by website, you can now close all tabs from the same website at once. Might be the only browser that lets you do this. Small feature, but quite handy for tab hoarders like me! #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

Quiche Browser is the only indie app in Lifehacker’s list of best iPhone browsers (that aren’t Safari), and named best for customization. But they also say it’s not “feature-rich” because it lacks an AI bot or a VPN… kind of the whole point of a lightweight browser. 🤷‍♂️ #buildinpublic #browser #ios

Early alpha of Quiche Browser running on iOS 26. Web pages will stretch all the way to the top of the screen, with a smooth progressive blur behind the status bar. Liquid Glass or not, Quiche Browser will stay minimal and immersive. #iOS26 #browser #buildinpublic

Quiche Browser will adopt Liquid Glass on day one when iOS 26 lands this fall. Codename: “Liquid Quiche with Glass Shards.” However, it will be adopted very carefully. Quiche Browser has always aimed for a discreet UI that highlights the web page, not distracts from it. #iOS26 #WWDC25 #browser

In just a week, Apple is rumored to unveil a radically new glassy look for iOS/macOS. Will Quiche Browser need to go full glassy to avoid looking outdated? Should I keep polishing the app on iPhone/iPad, or go all in building a glassy Mac version? #wwdc25 #buildinpublic #ios #browser

Dia Browser says Quiche Industries can’t beat The Browser Company. Fair. It’s just me versus a $550M startup. And yet… Quiche Browser is making more money 😅 #buildinpublic #browser #diabrowser

This is great (I care, or try very much to care) dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Quiche Browser now has over 300 subscribers! For an indie iOS browser!! The app is still missing plenty but you’ve all been incredibly kind and patient with this little browser. I couldn’t be more grateful. If you ever come to Tokyo, quiches are on me. #buildinpublic #ios #browser

Quiche Browser’s back button can now close new tabs opened from links (whether automatically or manually). That means you can potentially remove the close button for an even more minimal toolbar. This is for everyone obsessing over their perfect 3-button layout! #buildinpublic #browser #ios #ux

I originally built Quiche Reader to fight “Pocket Bankruptcy”: you’ve saved so many links in Pocket, it’s overwhelming, so you read none of them and stop using it. Today, Mozilla announced they’re shutting it down. Different kind of bankruptcy, I guess.

A glimpse at some of the endless toolbar variations possible in Quiche Browser. Would make a terrible wallpaper, but I'm finding this weirdly pleasant to look at. #buildinpublic #browser #ios

We’ve got a winner and my heartache is over.

It’s been 6 months and no one has found the hidden quiche easter egg in Quiche Browser and it’s breaking my heart.
