Features & Capabilities

Browse smarter with Surfed — a browser and unified history + bookmark manager with global search, smart collections, and powerful developer tools.

Surfed is a browser and unified history + bookmark manager for iOS, macOS, and visionOS that keeps a global, multi-browser history with smart bookmark collections, tags, notes, and reminders synced across devices. Search any session with powerful filters across all the context Surfed captures, then save those queries as personal, self-updating smart bookmark lists that surface the right pages at the right moment. The browser includes a built-in Web Inspector, Network Monitor, HTML Playground, JavaScript Console, and Web Triggers automations that run as you browse and can be built from extensive actions or installed from a gallery—so casual readers, normal users, and everyday browsers get a friendly UI while researchers, students, and professionals can organize knowledge and debug complex web apps.

A Browser for Every Workflow

  • Create dedicated browsing workspaces with unique profiles, search engines, and automations for each context.
  • Use the Media Viewer to surface every image, video, and audio asset found on the current page.
  • Open a split browser view to compare sources or multitask across two sites at once.
  • Use the enhanced download manager with Live Activities, URL clean-up tools, and Share Sheet support.
  • Extend Surfed’s features directly inside Safari with the Surfed Safari extension for quick history, bookmarks, and automations.

  • Build dynamic collections, reminders, and saved searches that update automatically as you browse.
  • Tag everything, track time-on-page, surface statistics, and protect sensitive sessions.

Made for Power Users & Developers

  • Inspect layouts, watch network calls, test snippets, or prototype ideas inside the HTML Playground without leaving the page.
  • Edit source code live with Web Inspector + HTML Playground to test changes.
  • Automate repetitive steps with Web Triggers, Shortcut Actions, and JavaScript or AI-generated code—there are actions for everything.
  • Build browsing automations that trigger as you surf, either by composing your own Web Triggers from the extensive action catalog or installing prebuilt recipes from the gallery.
  • Customize search engines, clean URLs in one tap.

Organize Research, Work, and Study

  • Capture ideas with notes, website tags, and Spaces dedicated to each project.
  • Attach Markdown notes to individual webpages and jot down per-Space notes to track decisions and next steps.
  • Turn history into personalized research dashboards that stay in sync across devices.

  • Let AI tagging classify websites automatically so your collections stay organized.
  • Summarize long-form articles with one tap to save time during research or study.

User Reviews

Users praise Surfed for a powerful, history-tracking tool that combines a Safari extension with a standalone container and privacy controls. However, repeated issues with crashes, locked screens, missing or unsynced history, and data loss dominate feedback. Support and documentation are weak, and paid Pro features often don’t work or sync as expected. Additional UI glitches (blue menu, hijacked new-tab behavior, invisible profile names) add to reliability concerns. Overall, strong potential hampered by reliability and support gaps.
Pros
  • Powerful, feature-rich Safari extension and a functional standalone container.
  • Ability to retrace browsing history and manage it across sessions.
  • Privacy-focused controls to track or block specific searches and data.
Cons
  • Stability issues including crashes, freezes, and locked screens.
  • History data problems: not recording, missing items, and no consistent cross-device syncing.
  • Poor or unresponsive support and lack of clear troubleshooting/documentation.
  • Pro features not functioning or syncing, with licensing frustrations for paid users.
  • UI/UX glitches such as intrusive blue menu, extension hijacking new-tab view, and invisible profile names.

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!! :)

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.

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.
