Safari (macOS) — Coming soon

Safari support is under active development. Safari extensions are distributed as macOS apps, so the release process is a bit different. Check back soon!

Developer builds

If you're building Skeeditor from source, you can generate a Safari build with task build:safari:swift. See the Cross-Browser Platform docs for development instructions.

Permissions

When you install Skeeditor, your browser will ask for these permissions:

• storage — stores OAuth sessions, settings, and short-lived prompt/state flags in extension storage
• tabs — opens and manages auth callback/sign-in tabs during OAuth flow
• alarms — schedules service-worker keepalive/retry timers in MV3 background context
• https://bsky.app/* — injects the edit UI into bsky.app pages and intercepts post navigation
• https://*.bsky.network/* — makes authenticated PDS calls to fetch/save records
• https://docs.skeeditor.link/* — loads OAuth client metadata and callback host pages
• https://slingshot.microcosm.blue/* — reads public record snapshots for edited-post refresh acceleration

Skeeditor requests no analytics, history, bookmark, or broad <all_urls> permissions.
