Smash Through Informational Noise: Meet Aloha Browser's Cutting-Edge Snips Tool for iOS
LIMASSOL, CY / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2025 / Today, privacy-first Aloha Browser released Snips for iOS - a ground-breaking web-snipping tool that allows users to escape digital noise and focus on what matters to them, minimizing distractions, supporting mental clarity, and simplifying daily routines.
These unique, intelligent live screenshots proactively monitor web updates for the exact information chosen by users, offering a convenient, instantly updated feed in a familiar vertical format. This enables people to curate their own algorithms and be engaged with only the content important to them, protecting them from compulsive information intake, eliminating unnecessary browsing friction, helping them stay focused and avoid stress. Launching today for iOS users worldwide, the Android release is expected in the coming weeks.
According to Aloha's global study, people suffer from information overload, and because of it, most of them are not able to stay focused[1]. 65% confirmed that they feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available online, while 71% admitted that they start performing one online task only to get distracted by other links, tabs, or notifications - later realizing they've drifted away from their original goal. This results in most of them (64%) feeling that they didn't manage to do something important at the end of the day.
"At Aloha, we understand the frustration of information overload that users suffer in modern days, and know that most of them feel stressed about missing important information - almost 50% of our users confirmed it," said Andrew Frost Moroz, the Founder of Aloha Browser.
"Snips for iOS, which follows the Snips for desktops launch earlier this year, is designed to keep people on top of the information they really want or need. According to our study, almost 60% of respondents receive notifications for things they don't care about more than once per hour- including 30% who get them every 15 minutes or more often. While updating the only information based on the person's request, Snips protects people from noise and gives them the opportunity for smart information consumption, paving the way for a human-centric browsing experience."
SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE
The Snips for iOS feature is intuitive and easy to use:
Choose the information you're interested in on a web page using the Aloha browser.
Select "Create Snip" in the menu.
Adjust the frame with your finger to capture the part of the webpage that contains the content you want to track for updates.
Set up the notification.
Access your Snips by swiping up on the Aloha's start page.
Swipe easily through Snips with the same gesture you use in social media.
Updates you care about will appear at the top of your feed.
Smash through informational noise, while being updated on what is really important to you.
PRIVATE AND SECURE
Being a privacy-first browser, Aloha designed Snips to analyze web content using local processing power and on-device functionality, ensuring that information never unnecessarily leaves your device. Web pages are opened discreetly in the background, and only the specific section clipped by the user is monitored. Snips compares it to previously captured versions and brings any updates straight to the top of your feed.

Gemini is bringing one of Gmail's handiest web features to your phone
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Gemini 'Add to calendar' button in Gmail is now rolling out to Android and iOS. It automatically detects event details in emails and lets you add them to Google Calendar with one tap. The feature can handle multiple events in a single email, but only works in English for now. If you use Gmail on the web, you might've already spotted Gemini's 'Add to calendar' button offering to save you a few clicks. Now that same Gemini trick is coming to Gmail on Android and iOS. As Google explains in its latest Workspace Update, Gemini can now read through an email on your phone, pick out anything that looks like a calendar event, and pop up an 'Add to calendar' button right there in the message. Tap it, and a little panel opens in Gmail to confirm it's been saved to your Google Calendar. This saves you from switching apps or typing in details yourself. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred source in Google Search to support us and make sure you never miss our latest exclusive reports, expert analysis, and much more. It's a step up from what Gemini could already do on mobile. Since May, you've been able to ask it to create, edit, or delete events manually. This update adds some extra automation. Gemini does the spotting for you, and if there are multiple events in the same email, it'll offer to add them all in one go. There are a few limitations at this stage. It only works in English for now, and it won't show up for stuff Gmail already handles automatically, like restaurant or flight confirmations. Also, if you want to invite others, you'll still need to add them yourself. The rollout starts today for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release Workspace domains, and Google says it could take up to 15 days before it reaches everyone. It's available for most Workspace plans, plus Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Follow

How to track your kids screen time — and the best tools to do it
Keeping track of your kids' screen time has become essential in today's digital world, but knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Between smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and computers, children have access to screens everywhere they go. Whether you want to set daily limits, block certain apps during homework time, or simply see how much time your kids spend on different activities, there are solutions that fit every family's needs. Most devices already have built-in tools to help you monitor and limit usage, and there are additional apps and services that can give you even more control. Here's how to track your kids' screen time and the best tools to do it. Norton 360 Deluxe: No one wants their kid to spend all their time buried in a phone. With Norton 360 Deluxe's Parental Control dashboard, you can gain a clear view of how much time your child is spending online. You can support healthy habits by scheduling specific times and hours per day on their PC or Android devices. Keeping them off their phones and into family dinner discussions is just a few clicks away. Every iPhone, iPad, and Android device automatically tracks how much time is spent in each app and creates detailed reports you can review. On iOS devices, go to Settings and Screen Time to see charts showing daily and weekly usage broken down by app categories like Social Networking, Games, and Entertainment. You can see exactly which apps your child used most and when they were most active during the day. Android users can find similar data in Settings and Digital Wellbeing & Parental Controls. These reports show not just total screen time, but also how many times apps were opened and which hours of the day had the highest usage, giving you a complete picture of your child's digital habits. Once you know which apps are consuming the most time, you can set daily limits directly through your device's settings. On iOS, tap App Limit in Screen Time settings to restrict specific apps or entire categories like Social Networking or Games to a certain number of hours per day. When the limit is reached, the app becomes grayed out and requires a passcode to continue using. Android's Digital Wellbeing offers "App Timers" that work similarly. You can set different limits for weekdays versus weekends and create exceptions for educational apps that you want your child to use freely. Many parents will be surprised to discover which apps their children spend the most time using. Built-in screen time tools rank apps by usage, showing you whether your child is spending three hours a day on TikTok or if educational apps actually make up a significant portion of their screen time. This data helps you make informed decisions about which apps need limits and which ones are actually beneficial. Many devices also show "pickups" — how often your child unlocks their device throughout the day, which can indicate compulsive usage patterns even if total screen time seems reasonable. Norton Family provides more detailed monitoring and control options than built-in device features. The service tracks website visits, app usage, and location data across multiple devices from one central dashboard. To set it up on an iPhone or iPad, install the Norton Family app, then go to Settings, Privacy, Location Services and set Norton Family to "Always." Next, enable Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time settings and turn off Safari so all browsing goes through Norton's monitored browser. Norton Family also lets you set custom time limits, block inappropriate content, and receive alerts when your child tries to access restricted websites or exceeds their screen time limits. Setting up regular screen-free times is just as important as monitoring total usage. Most devices let you schedule "Downtime" periods when only essential apps like Phone and Messages work, encouraging breaks from recreational screen time. You can set different schedules for school nights versus weekends, automatically blocking entertainment apps during homework hours. To set up downtime periods on your iPhone, for example, navigate to Settings, Screen Time and Downtime. Here, you can schedule when your iPhone will limit access to apps, allowing only those you choose These scheduled breaks help establish healthy boundaries and ensure screen time doesn't interfere with sleep, family meals, or other important activities.
