A browser is not a VPN. Paying for Stealth Suite does not hide your IP address from sites you visit or from your network operator. Tracking protection is list-based and not absolute. Private Browser Incognito is rated 17+ for unrestricted web access and is intended for adults. App Lock is free. The vault, decoy, and panic code are the paid kit.
Paywalls that hide the actual browser are a different product. Private Browser Incognito ships the forgetful session for everyone: no history file, on-device blocking, one-tap erase, HTTPS-Only Mode, and App Lock. Stealth Suite is optional Apple IAP for people who need a second scene, a wipe from the lock screen, or files that never hit Photos.
This page is the split, the prices we actually charge, and what happens if a subscription lapses. It is not a thriller. It is not a claim that paid users become anonymous. If you are still choosing on architecture, start with The Best Private Browser for iPhone: What Actually Matters. If you only needed the lock, that article is App Lock With Passcode and Face ID.
What stays free
Every tab is a private session in memory. There is no browsing history feature and no history file to clear. Ads, analytics, and social trackers are blocked by content-blocking rules powered by the open Disconnect lists. The lists ship in the app and run on the device. They are not downloaded at runtime. Blocking is not 100 percent. Per-site exceptions exist.
One-tap erase closes every tab and destroys cookies, cache, and site data. There is a home-screen quick action. Erase is permanent. It does not empty the vault. HTTPS-Only Mode is on by default and asks before falling back to insecure HTTP. Search is Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, or a custom engine. Suggestions stay off until you agree to share a keystroke.
App Lock with a six-digit passcode and Face ID is free in the shipping default. The passcode is never stored. It becomes the key. Forgotten passcodes cannot be recovered. There are no accounts, no sign-in, no app server for browsing, no ads in the app, no analytics SDK, no third-party SDKs. The privacy label is Data Not Collected. iOS only.
What Stealth Suite adds
Decoy Browser: a second passcode opens a clean, empty browser. Real tabs stay hidden. No sign Stealth Suite exists in the decoy. That is the feature people mean when they need to unlock something that looks unused. The dedicated page is Decoy Passcode: A Second Browser That Shows Nothing.
Panic Code: one code at the lock screen silently wipes tabs, the entire vault, and the break-in log, then opens what looks like a fresh start. Irreversible. Do not pick a number you will type by accident.
Break-in log: timestamps on failed unlocks. Optional Intruder Photo uses the front camera to capture who tried. Photos are encrypted on the device. Camera permission is asked when you enable the feature, never at the lock screen. Photos may depict other people. You are responsible for local law. Intruder Photo is off until you turn it on.
Self-destruct: after too many wrong codes, saved tabs are destroyed, and optionally the vault with them. An Auto-Erase timer can kill the session after you leave. Private Downloads: an AES-256 vault, no plain copy on disk, excluded from backups, never Photos or Files. Session erase does not clear it. Panic can. Details: An Encrypted Download Vault on iPhone. Icon colors: Midnight, Ocean, Ember. Same shield, your color. No calculator disguise in the shipping app.
Prices, trial, and lapse
Monthly $4.99. Yearly $19.99 with a 7-day trial. Lifetime $49.99. The subscription group display name is Stealth Suite. Purchases go through Apple. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, managed in your App Store account. We do not invent other price points. We do not take a card number inside a Private Browser login, because that login does not exist.
If a subscription lapses, protections you already enabled keep working and the vault stays accessible. New downloads that require an active unlock follow the lapse policy in the terms. We do not hold existing files hostage. Lifetime is a one-time purchase for the kit on that Apple ID, not a cloud of files. Vault files stay on the device, excluded from backups.
The yearly trial is seven days. Cancel before it converts if you only wanted to look. During a trial the suite behaves as unlocked kit. Afterward the lapse rule above is the honest one: enabled protections and vault access remain. Do not expect a support email to reconstruct a panic wipe. Erased data cannot be recovered, by you or by us.

| IP hidden | No. Not a VPN | No. Not a VPN |
Use the table when a screenshot of a paywall looks like the browser itself is locked. It is not. The forgetful engine is the product. The suite is for borrowed phones, wipes you can trigger from the lock screen, and files that must not land in Photos. None of it is Tor, a proxy we market, or fingerprint spoofing. None of it needs an account with us.
Who the kit is for
Buy it if someone else unlocks the iPhone and you need an empty scene, if you save files you do not want in Camera Roll, or if you want a panic number and a log of failed unlocks. Skip it if you only needed pages to forget themselves. The free lock already hides the session behind a code. The decoy is for when you must open something.
A shared phone is the usual reason. Surprise shopping, personal research, a device a partner or sibling can pick up: the free browser already refuses to keep a history file. The suite adds a scene you can show, a vault Photos cannot browse, and a wipe that does not require opening the app first. None of that is a substitute for the device passcode. It is a second audience, the person who already unlocked iOS and is tapping icons.
We do not name download hosts. We do not ship disguise icons. We do not host your files. AES-256 is the vault cipher, named without slogans. Session erase still leaves the vault. Panic still can empty it. Those two sentences belong in the same product explanation so a paywall screenshot cannot imply that trash and vault are the same switch.
Rated 17+ either way. You are responsible for what you visit and for using the app lawfully. We will not publish a list of download sites. We will not call AES-256 military grade. We will not claim the suite makes you invisible. Private Browser Incognito remains a web browser that talks to the URLs you type. Stealth Suite is the optional toolkit behind the free shield.

What happens if my Stealth Suite subscription lapses?
Protections you already enabled keep working and the vault stays accessible. New downloads that require an active unlock follow the lapse policy in the terms. We do not hold existing files hostage. App Lock remains free either way. Lifetime is a one-time purchase, not a file-restore service from us.
Is App Lock part of Stealth Suite?
No. App Lock with a six-digit passcode and Face ID is free for everyone in the shipping default. The passcode is never stored. Forgotten passcodes cannot be recovered. The decoy passcode, panic code, and related kit sit on top of that free lock.
Does Stealth Suite hide my IP address?
No. Decoy, vault, and panic are on-device controls. They do not hide your IP address from sites you visit or from your network operator. A browser is not a VPN. Tracking protection stays list-based and not absolute, paid or free.
