Save the current tab via the toolbar button, or any link via the right-click context menu — directly to your Couch library in iCloud.

<strong>How saving works</strong>
* Couch installed on the same device — the extension saves directly to the app, even when Couch isn't running.
* Couch installed on another device — the extension logs you into your iCloud account and saves via the web interface. Note that this may not work on all networks, or if you have Advanced Data Protection enabled for your iCloud account.

The extension can be installed on any desktop — including non-Apple devices — as long as Couch is installed somewhere to process your saved URLs.

<strong>Privacy</strong>
The extension and Couch collect no data. Your saved items are stored securely in your iCloud account and are yours alone.
