Amazing App

It's one of a kind for keeping a record of both history and bookmarks and no other bookmarking app matched it. I hope more updates are to come!! :)

Says “Locked”

After a few month of using the app it just stopped working, showing only “Locked” in the middle of the screen without any other UI elements. Weird, no support, no solution.

Struggling. Worried offloading may have broke it. After updating to iOS 26 in October.

Crashes a lot when I go to click “more” to see more history. Also I can’t seem to find certain browsing profiles. I have over like 60 browser profiles. I like to create new ones constantly to hide my privacy from other users sharing my device. It says in some profiles on Surfed that there is like 1k results saved. But it’ll only show like 10 pages. Must be a bug. Anyway to fix it? Do you know if it is possible to fix the names of the profiles not showing on the bottom bar? It’ll show as invisible. Must be a visual glitch.

The blue menu please let us disable it

It’s annoying having the blue menu in the bottom right corner on every website I visit. It only just recently started popping up. I don’t want to disable the browser history but just want to disable the blue menu

Who asked for a browser?

Thank you very much for your feedback and criticism. Many of the recent improvements benefit not only the browser, but also the bookmarks and history manager. If you prefer not to use the integrated browser, you can disable it at any time in the app settings. The next update will also introduce another great feature for bookmarks. We’re always open to suggestions about what you’d like to see or what we can improve. Thank you for using Surfed and for supporting us with your purchase!

Messing with css, why?

While the extension is enabled, it changes select sites in a way that makes it impossible to read text. Why does this happen? How can I change this behavior? No support.

It’s likely that a web trigger is enabled, which can modify the formatting of certain websites and make the text difficult to read. Please check which web triggers you currently have active and try disabling them to resolve the issue. If you still experience problems afterward, feel free to let us know.

Most Powerful Safari Extension- Period

This app does NOT deserve the reviews it has gotten. I’ve been using Surfed for years. It’s famous among automators, developers, and shortcut enthusiasts. This app performs more than what… 10+ Safari extensions could do— for a fraction of the price. Calling Surfed an extension almost seems insulting as the app ALSO has a fully working standalone app (called a container).

The low reviews are because the learning curve is commensurate with its capability. It takes a bit of time to understand and set up. My ONLY gripe with this app is that it lacks a solid online manual/ documentation library. The app has some explanations in the app itself, but figuring it fully out will have to be something you do on your own while you configure it.

12/10 it is, without doubt, the most powerful, capable Safari extension on the App Store.

Wow — thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review! It really means a lot to hear that you’ve been using Surfed for years and that you recognize the depth and flexibility behind it. You’re absolutely right about the learning curve — Surfed has grown a lot in scope, and clearer documentation would definitely help make that power more approachable. I’m already working on expanding the online documentation and examples to make getting started (and mastering the advanced parts) much easier. Thanks again for your kind words and for being part of the Surfed community — feedback like yours keeps me motivated to keep improving it.

Doesn’t work

The app stopped recording my history on the Mac, and the developer did not respond to a support email. Also, I can’t figure out a use for this. Clever idea though.

OpenAI API Not Working

Matthias - after I’ve entered my OpenAI API Key and then try to “summarize article with AI”, I get the error “Incorrect API key provided”. I use my OpenAI keys a lot so can’t figure out what’s going on. I tried to use your “contact me” link in your website, but it doesn’t work.

Great concept, poor execution

I love the app and what it is trying to accomplish but the “finished” product is not very good. The extension hijacks the new tab view and, for the life of me, I can’t find where to change that and I do not recall being asked if I even wanted that to be changed. I have tried to use the support page to ask for help but clicking the link to request help only causes the page to reload. I was able to suss out the link to ask for help once but never received a response. If you are comfortable knowing that you get what you get and that you’re on your own after that feel free to give this a try.

I Liked The Concept But It Still Needs Work (And Not Just On The App)

I really like what this app does. I was surpised that the 3rd party broser support took two updates to get working but it does now which is nice. The app will change your default new tab page in a 3rd party browser without asking and thankfully the browsers will ask you if that is what you want. Be careful becuase if you ignore the message or accept it changing ti back is not something I have been able to figure out hwo to do. There does not appear to be any instructions on the developers site and the link to contct the developer doesn't do anything in any bwrowser that I have tried other than reload the page (I 've tried Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Arc and Brave all with the same result). I like it but this app will take patience.

Thank you for your feedback and your purchase. What exactly isn't working? Please send me an email at support@surfed.app.

Means I can see history from more than a month ago

That’s the main thing I care about because safari doesn’t let you.

Deleted my entire Safari History!

I downloaded wanting to edit my existing history. Once I realized it couldn't do that I removed it. Opened up Safari and one years worth of search history is gone without warning. Very, very bad to delete user data without notifying a user first!

This should have been buillt in Safari

When I forget what I've previously seen then I turn to Surfed to find it again. iPhone, iPad or Mac. Doesn't matter.

Surfed remembers what I forgot.

Not working, No Support

The app sounded great, and I bought the pro version, but it has not worked on my iPhone, my iPad, nor on my Mac. I’m sure I’m just missing something, but there’s no way to get support. When I go onto the app, there is no section for technical support. In the FAQ, there is no section for troubleshooting. There is a link that says contact me, which goes nowhere. I would write it at zero, but the lowest, alas, is 1.

Using it backfired

The app does what it says it does. Unfortunately, the recent update seems to have deleted all my Safari browsing history from before September 2023 with no way to recover it. While this is partially my fault for not using Time Machine, it's also the exact opposite of what I wanted, and I'll not be using the app again.

Response from developer

I understand your frustration, but I want to clarify that the app does not have access to your complete Safari browsing history. As a developer, I can assure you that the app Surfed cannot be the cause of your Safari browsing history deletion, as we do not have the capability to access or modify Safari's browsing history.

Deceptive or broken

Purchased Pro, but unable to use pro feature on iMac to sync with iPhone & iPad.
