Work, on a canvas.

Keep notes, checklists, pages and files together. Connect your own provider or local model when you want an assistant to help.

  • Live pages. Helpers browse real sites, and you can watch every one.

  • Helpers in parallel. The lead splits the goal and sends a helper after each part.

  • Your files. It reads and edits folders you grant, and asks before changing a thing.

  • Code and commands. It writes and explains code, runs commands and maps a system.

  • Your tools. MCP servers and the command lines you already use, like GitHub and Slack.

  • Your context. Tabs, history, tasks and notes, whenever you let it look.

  • Results that last. Tables, charts, comparisons and plans stay on the canvas.

  • Your models. Your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini, or a local model.

Bring anything onto the canvas. Tabs, files, folders, images and links, side by side. Connect your tools through MCP and the command line, and agents work with all of it.

Your day, beside the page.

Tasks, notes and activity live in the sidebar, and your agents can use them whenever you let them.

Questions, answered.

Where do I find the new features?

Open Muslim space in the sidebar for Today, Quran, Journey and Saved. The homepage cards open their related tools; their options menus hold settings. Image controls and Capture are in the sidebar. Settings → About → Release notes opens the full offline guide.

Do I need a new DMG for every update?

Version 2 checks Safa’s signed update feed when automatic checks are enabled. A verified update offers Relaunch to finish. You can check manually in Settings → About. Version 1.0.5 had updates paused, so it needs one manual V2 installation.

Who is Safa for?

Safa is a Mac browser for Muslim daily life. Ordinary browsing and Work sit alongside Quran reading, prayer tools and a private dhikr counter.

Does it work offline?

The complete Arabic and English Quran, the reading index, bookmarks and dhikr work offline. Prayer times calculate on your Mac after a location is set. Recitation, websites and online providers need a connection.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed for browsing or Muslim tools. Religious settings and reading progress stay in your normal local profile. Private windows do not load that saved state.

How does current location work?

Choose Use current location to request macOS permission. Safa gets a location fix and uses Apple’s service to resolve the locality and time zone. It does not continuously track you. City selection remains available.

Are image controls a content filter?

They are a viewing preference. Blur or hide supported page images, choose site exceptions, and reveal deliberately. They cannot guarantee that every image or embedded frame is covered.

Is it free?

Browsing and Muslim tools are free. Bring your own provider key or use a local model for optional AI. Paid hosted Safa AI is not active or offered for purchase. Service availability.

Which Macs are supported?

Safa V2 targets Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. The download page offers only an artifact that has completed its release checks.
