Watching media over a browser has a lot of limited options on iOS. The default browser, safari has a ton of clutter which makes a non-immersive experience for consuming media. Asobi solves this problem.

At its core, Asobi allows you to view media without any clutter on a mobile device because space is important when viewing a website.

There is no URL bar in Asobi. Instead, a default URL can be set to open on every app launch. This allows the user to jump right into the action instead of having a homepage on the screen.

Asobi also has other hallmarks of a standard web browser such as:
- History
- Bookmarks
- Downloads

There are also privacy related features such as:
- Incognito mode
- Ad blocking
- Authentication on startup
- Hiding content in the recents menu

Asobi has a navigation bar to quickly access all the options above. This bar can be tucked away automatically or with a triple tap of the screen.

The app is free and 100% open sourced: https://github.com/bdashore3/Asobi
