Type a keyword in Safari's address bar, jump anywhere. Thirty built-in shortcuts, open multiple sites at once, regex keywords, and optional URL rewriting, all editable, all on-device. A native Safari extension for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.
macOS 14.0+ · iOS / iPadOS 17.0+g swiftui→Google searchw ada lovelace→Wikipediagh apple/swift→GitHub repo!g ios !w macintosh→two tabs at once
g, d, b for search; w, mdn, ad for references; gh, so for code; y, spo, n for media; npm, cargo, pip, brew for package managers, and more.
Change the trigger, URL template, default URL, or aliases. Add your own. Soft-delete with a 20-entry trash bin for recovery.
Type !g foo !w bar to open Google in the current tab and Wikipedia in a new one. Configurable separator.
Pattern-matched shortcuts like gh/(\S+)/(\S+) → github.com/$1/$2 for issue, PR, and repo navigation in one keystroke.
Curated rules to redirect Twitter → Nitter, Reddit → old.reddit, YouTube → Piped, and other privacy-friendly frontends. All toggleable, all editable.
As you type, friendly errors appear inline: missing URL protocol, invalid regex, capture-group mismatches, conflicting triggers.
Built-in language picker with flag icons and native names. Defaults to your system locale; switch anytime from the top-right of the settings page.
Built-in keywords compile to Safari's declarativeNetRequest rules, no visible flash before the redirect fires. The fastest possible path.
No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics. Your keyword list lives entirely on your device. Findbar collects zero data.
A filter bar in the editor narrows your list as you type. Find any of your 100+ shortcuts in two keystrokes.
Built-in favicon picker for popular services, or paste any URL to use your own. Icons sync with your keyword list.
Auto, Light, or Dark. Auto follows your system. Your choice persists across launches and your other Apple devices.
One purchase covers Mac, iPad, and iPhone. No separate Pro tier, no subscription, no in-app purchases.
A single master toggle disables Findbar in one tap without uninstalling. Perfect for sharing a Mac or pausing during work.
On iPhone, the editor switches to a drill-down layout sized for one-thumb use. Safe-area aware, full-bleed sheets, 44pt tap targets.
A welcome sheet on first launch after every update shows exactly what changed. Settings rows tag new features with a NEW pill.
Download Findbar from the App Store. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad via Family Sharing.
Open Safari Settings → Extensions → enable Findbar. Grant the permissions it asks for.
In Safari's address bar, type g followed by your search and press Enter. That's it. Edit and add keywords in the settings page anytime.
Findbar uses Safari's native APIs (declarativeNetRequest, webNavigation, storage). Built ground-up for Safari, not a polyfill of Chrome's omnibox API which Safari doesn't have.
No accounts. No telemetry. No cloud. Your keyword list, rewrite rules, and preferences live entirely on your device. Findbar never phones home.
Translated into 32 non-English locales (Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, German, French, and many more), switchable in-app, independent of your system language.
Requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later, or iOS / iPadOS 17.0 or later. Works with Safari 17+.
Privacy-first apps for macOS, iOS, and Safari.
