Safari Extension

The Safari extension adds a right-click menu to download videos directly from your browser. When you choose to download, it sends the URL along with your login cookies to Fetchii, enabling access to private and restricted content. It comes bundled with the app, so there's nothing extra to download.

Setting It Up

Fetchii can walk you through it: choose Help > Set up browser extension (or open Settings > Browser Extension), then click Install next to Safari under Supported Browsers. The setup sheet has three short steps, and moves on by itself once Safari reports the extension as enabled:

1. Open Safari Settings — click the Open Safari Settings button. (Or do it yourself: Safari > Settings, or press Cmd + ,, then click the Extensions tab.)
2. Enable Extension — find Fetchii in the list and check the box to enable it.
3. Allow Website Access — click the Fetchii icon in Safari's toolbar and choose Always Allow on Every Website. Without this, downloads and passing your login won't work.

Safari may also ask for website access on its own. For the best experience, choose Always Allow on Every Website — this lets the extension work on any site you visit. If you prefer, you can choose Ask to approve sites one at a time.

Privacy note: Fetchii only accesses cookies when you explicitly choose to download. Nothing is sent automatically, and no browsing data is collected.

Back in Settings > Browser Extension, the Safari row reads Ready once the extension is enabled. Safari doesn't need a connection test.

Adding It to Your Toolbar

After enabling the extension, you should see the Fetchii icon in Safari's toolbar. If it's not there:

1. Right-click anywhere on the toolbar
2. Select Customize Toolbar...
3. Drag the Fetchii icon to where you want it
4. Click Done

How to Download

The extension adds a right-click context menu to download videos directly from Safari.

To download videos:

1. Make sure you're logged into the video site in Safari
2. Right-click on a video, link, or page
3. Select "Download with Fetchii" from the context menu
4. The extension sends the URL and your cookies to Fetchii for downloading

What You Can Access

With your cookies synced, Fetchii can download:

• Private videos visible only to you
• Unlisted videos shared via direct link
• Age-restricted content
• Channel member exclusives

Cookies are only sent when you choose to download — just make sure you're logged in before right-clicking.

Troubleshooting

Extension not showing in Safari settings? Make sure Fetchii is installed in your Applications folder, then restart Safari.

Extension keeps getting disabled? macOS sometimes disables extensions after system updates. Just go back to Safari Settings > Extensions and re-enable it.

Cookies not syncing? First, check that the Fetchii app is running. If it is, try disabling and re-enabling the extension, or restart Safari.

Downloads failing with authentication errors? Open Safari Settings > Extensions, click on Fetchii, and check "Edit Websites" to make sure the site is allowed.

Privacy and Security

The Safari extension respects your privacy:

• Cookies are only accessed when you explicitly choose to download
• No automatic syncing or background data collection
• No browsing history is ever collected
• All data stays local on your Mac

The Fetchii extension runs sandboxed within Safari's extension security model, and you decide which websites it can access.
