common questions

A site looks broken or won't load properly.

Blocking ads sometimes breaks part of a page, and automatic dark mode can make a page hard to read. To fix it right away, open the page menu, tap Website Settings, and turn off Use Content Blockers or Dark Page for that site. Then email us the site's address and what went wrong. We fix most reports in the next app update.

How does the free trial work?

You can use every feature free during the trial. Before it ends, the App Store will show you the price and ask you to confirm. Nothing is charged until you do.

How do I get a refund?

Apple handles all payments for apps on the App Store, so refunds go through Apple. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Can I make Halfsheet my default browser?

Yes. Open the Settings app, go to Apps, then Default Apps, then Browser App, and choose Halfsheet. Links from other apps will open in it from then on.

Does Halfsheet support Safari extensions?

No. Apple doesn't let other browsers load Safari extensions. Halfsheet builds in the features people install extensions for most: ad blocking, tracker blocking and dark mode.

What data do you collect?

None. Your history, bookmarks and tabs stay on your iPhone. See the privacy policy.

Is a browser from a small company safe to use?

The page itself is drawn by WebKit, the same engine as Safari, which Apple requires of every iPhone browser. What Halfsheet adds around it is tested before each release, and we've written up exactly what that covers and what it doesn't. See how it's tested.

Wasn't this app called Dovetail?

Yes. The browser was called Dovetail while it was in testing, and became Halfsheet on October 20, 2026. It's the same app, from the same people.
