Set up the Safari Companion
The Safari Companion is built into Slurp. Enable it once in Safari, then send pages and media directly to the app.
Reviewed 18 September 2026 · Slurp 1.0.2Before you start
Install Slurp in Applications and launch that installed copy. Keep Slurp running while you enable the Companion.
After copying Slurp from its DMG, eject the mounted Slurp 1.0.2 volume. Leaving another runnable copy of Slurp mounted or in a development build folder can make Safari show the Companion more than once.
1. Start from Slurp
- Open Slurp → Settings → Integrations.
- Find Safari under Browser Integrations · Beta.
- Choose Set Up….
2. Open Safari
In Slurp’s setup assistant, choose Open Safari.
In Safari, choose Safari → Settings → Extensions. Slurp intentionally opens Safari rather than trying to select the Extensions pane automatically.
3. Enable Slurp Browser Companion
In Safari’s Extensions settings, turn on Slurp Browser Companion. Safari may ask you to confirm the extension or its website access.
The installed Companion is shown as part of the Slurp application. You do not need a separate download or pairing code.
4. Come back to Slurp
Return to Slurp. The app detects the Companion automatically and changes Safari to Ready when the connection is active.
Open a supported page in Safari, choose the Slurp toolbar button, then use Open in Slurp or Download with Slurp.
If Safari shows Slurp twice
- Eject every mounted Slurp 1.0.2 DMG.
- Make sure the copy you use is
/Applications/Slurp.app. - If you have development or test copies of Slurp, remove or move those runnable app bundles so Safari sees only the Applications copy.
- Quit Safari and Slurp, then reopen Slurp first and Safari second.
If the Companion does not appear
- Confirm that Slurp is installed in Applications rather than running from the DMG.
- Launch Slurp once before opening Safari’s Extensions settings.
- Quit and reopen Safari after installing a newer Slurp build.
- Install the latest Slurp release if you are using an older build.
If it still does not appear, use Help → Contact Support in Slurp so you can review and optionally include diagnostics.
What the Companion can access
The Safari Companion can inspect the active tab when you invoke it and send the current page and detected media information directly to the Slurp app on your Mac. It does not read browser cookies and does not send your browsing activity or detected media to Slurp servers.
