Previous Versions
Tampermonkey is the most popular and widely available userscript manager that allows you to run custom JavaScript programs (called userscripts) to modify, enhance, and customize the behavior of web pages.
Yes, Tampermonkey is available for Safari on macOS (and iOS/iPadOS).
However, because of how Apple manages browser extensions, its availability and installation are slightly different compared to Chrome or Firefox.
How to Get Tampermonkey for Safari
Due to changes in Safari's extension architecture (moving from .safariextz to App Extensions), Tampermonkey must be obtained through the Mac App Store (or iOS/iPad App Store).
Search the Mac App Store: The official application is titled "Tampermonkey".
Versions: You may see a few versions depending on your macOS version, such as the standard Tampermonkey (for newer macOS versions like 11.0+), or Tampermonkey Classic (for older versions). Always check the developer's official download page or the App Store listing for the one compatible with your OS.
Pricing: Unlike its free versions on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, the Safari version of Tampermonkey is usually a paid application (a one-time purchase) on the App Store.
Key Features of Tampermonkey for Safari
Once installed, Tampermonkey gives Safari all the core features found in other browsers:
-
Userscript Management: Easily install, enable, disable, and manage scripts from popular repositories like Greasy Fork and OpenUserJS.
-
Built-in Editor: Allows you to create or modify scripts directly within the application's dashboard.
-
Synchronization: Supports syncing your scripts across multiple devices and browsers using cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
-
Security Features: Provides a dashboard to see exactly which scripts are running on which website, giving you control over website access.
Alternative for Safari
If you are looking for a completely free and open-source option, you might also consider the Userscripts app/extension available on the Mac App Store. While it offers basic functionality (running and saving JS/CSS code), it may not have all the advanced features, synchronization, and wide-ranging compatibility of Tampermonkey.
