Download Hermit • Lite Apps Browser APK free

BROWSE WITH LITE APPS

Replace large, bulky, slow native apps with tiny, lean, blazing-fast Web-based Lite Apps.

“Sufficiently advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic.”

• But there’s no magic. Lite Apps are still Web applications.
• Hermit offers an excellently-designed app to wrap them into a thoroughly enjoyable experience. See our reviews!
• Each Lite App opens in its own app-like window.
• Hermit doesn’t open new windows if your Lite App is already open (unlike other browsers!)
• Links clicked in other apps open directly in Lite Apps.
• Every customization setting is configurable individually for every Lite App.

PRIVACY FIRST

Unlike other browser makers, we are not in the business of selling ads or your personal information. You pay for our app with money, not your privacy. Most features can be used for free.

SANDBOX (Early Access Feature)

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

• Create a separate sandboxed environment for privacy-invasive sites.
• Use multiple accounts, all active at the same time, in the same browser.
