Which devices and platforms does keepthis.site support?

Updated

keepthis.site runs as a Mac app (macOS 12 or later) and an Android app (Android 8+, arm64), with a Firefox browser extension for one-click saving. There is no iPhone, iPad, Windows, or Linux app mentioned, and the Chrome extension is listed as "coming soon." The Mac app must be running in the background to receive saves from the extension.

What each piece does

Mac app

The desktop app is the hub. It stores your pins locally, handles encryption, and syncs directly with your other devices. It has to be running in the background for the browser extension to deliver saves, so keep it open while you browse.

Android app

The Android build (v1.1.2, Android 8+ on arm64) gives you the same library on your phone. Because pins live on the device, you can open the app and save links offline — on a plane or a weak connection — and everything keeps working.

Firefox extension

One click on the toolbar saves the active tab — URL, title, your tags, and notes — straight to the Mac app. There's no login or sign-up, and it only requests the activeTab permission. It's available now on Firefox Add-ons.

Chrome extension

Listed as "coming soon to Chrome Web Store." If Chrome is your main browser, you'll need to wait for that release or use Firefox for saving in the meantime.

What this means for you

  • Mac + Android + Firefox users: you can use the full setup today — save from Firefox, sync between your Mac and phone, and search everything offline.
  • Chrome-only users: the extension isn't available yet, so plan around Firefox or wait for the Chrome release.
  • Windows or Linux users: no app is listed for these platforms, so keepthis.site isn't an option on those machines based on the current information.
  • iPhone or iPad users: no iOS app is mentioned; the mobile experience described is Android only.

Setup checklist

  1. Confirm your Mac is on macOS 12 or later, or your Android device is on Android 8+ (arm64).
  2. Install the Mac app and keep it running in the background.
  3. Install the Android app if you want your library on your phone.
  4. Add the Firefox extension and click the toolbar button on any tab to save it.
  5. Verify a save by checking that the link appears in the Mac app with its screenshot and any tags or notes you added.

Common snag: if saves from the extension don't arrive, check that the Mac app is actually running — the extension depends on it to receive pins.
