Install Waypoint

The Mac app, then the panel in each browser you use.

Waypoint has two parts: a small Mac app that keeps your links, and a side panel in each browser you use. The panel needs the app; the app works on its own too.

The Mac app

Waypoint needs macOS 13 or newer and a Mac with Apple silicon. Open the downloaded file and drag Waypoint into Applications. When it runs, it lives in the menu bar only — there is no Dock icon. Click the icon for Open Waypoint (⌘O), Settings… (⌘,), Check for Updates… and Quit Waypoint (⌘Q).

Waypoint keeps itself up to date: it looks for a new version after starting and then once a day. When one is there, the menu bar menu and the window’s sidebar say so, and one click installs it and restarts Waypoint. (Versions before 0.2.3 cannot do this yet — download 0.2.3 or later once by hand.)

Quitting stops the panel from reaching your links. Anything you drop into a panel meanwhile is kept and saved once the app runs again.

The browser panel

Browser	Get it from	Where the panel opens
Chrome, Brave, Helium	Chrome Web Store	Side panel — click the Waypoint icon in the toolbar
Edge	Edge Add-ons	Side panel
Firefox, Zen	Firefox Add-ons, or our signed file	Sidebar
Safari	Comes inside the Waypoint app — switch it on in Safari › Settings › Extensions	Popup from the toolbar (Safari has no side panel)

Which side the panel opens on is a setting of each browser, not of Waypoint.

Without a store

Firefox and Zen: download the signed .xpi file from the releases page and open it in the browser. It installs with one click and updates itself.
Any Chromium browser for testing: browsers only install from their stores with one click. For testing, download the Chromium .zip, unpack it, open the browser’s extensions page (chrome://extensions), switch on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the unpacked folder. The browser reminds you at start that a developer extension is installed.

Next: connect the browser.
