The first time, macOS asks to let Resurf control your browser. If you said no, allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation, then quit and reopen Resurf.
Links and browser extensions
Save the page you're reading with the capture widget, or with the Chrome or Safari extension.

- Mac, iPhone, iPad
Save the page you're on
Works with Safari, Google Chrome, Arc, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi.
With the page open in your browser, press ⌘⇧C, then L.
The field already holds the page. If no supported browser was in front, it holds a link you copied instead.
If there are both, a row under the field offers the other one.
Press Return or ⌘⏎ to save. To save several links at once, paste them all into the field.
Not available on iPhone and iPad.
Chrome extension
The extension's toolbar button only shows tips. Capturing is in the right-click menu.
Get the extension from the sidebar's workspace menu: Apps, then Get the Chrome extension.
Keep Resurf running.
Right-click a page, selected text, a link, an image, a video or audio, and choose Capture to Resurf.
The receipt appears on your Mac.
Not available on iPhone and iPad.
Captures go to Resurf on your Mac, not over the internet.
Safari extension
The Safari extension comes with the Resurf app.
Turn on the Resurf extension in Safari.
Click its toolbar button, Capture to Resurf, or press ⌘⇧S. It saves the selection, or the page when nothing is selected.
Or right-click and choose Capture to Resurf.
The button shows ✓ when it worked, or ! when it didn't.
Turn on the Resurf extension in Safari.
Tap its toolbar entry, Capture to Resurf.
Saving a link twice
Saving a link you already have doesn't make a second capture. The receipt says Already saved, and any new tags and spaces are added to the original. The original keeps its date, so it doesn't move to the top.
Posts from X, Instagram, Threads and Pinterest may ask whether to save the media or the link. See Social posts.
Questions
The Link field is empty.
Your browser must be in front when you press ⌘⇧C, and Resurf needs Automation permission for it. Check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation, then quit and reopen Resurf.
Nothing happens when I choose Capture to Resurf in Chrome.
Refresh the page if it was open before you installed the extension, and make sure Resurf is running.
