The brief
If you browse in Safari on an iPhone and work in Chrome on a Windows PC, nothing carries a page between them. Apple and Google each sync only their own browsers, and the workarounds mean keeping a Mac awake or mailing links to yourself.
What I built
A one-way bridge: a Safari extension on the iPhone, a relay in the middle, and a Chrome extension that shows your iPhone tabs and Safari history on the PC.
- Designed so everything is encrypted on the phone before it leaves: the relay moves data it can’t read.
- Private Browsing is never captured, and excluded sites and tracking parameters are stripped before anything is sent.
- Honest about what it is: Safari history and iPhone tabs in their own Chrome panel, not a pretend native sync.
How it works
The iPhone side is Swift, built from Windows with xtool. The relay is a Cloudflare Worker with D1 that only handles ciphertext. The Chrome side is a Manifest V3 extension with its own searchable history page.
What came of it
Tab capture works end to end on a real iPhone. It’s a prototype for now, built for one person first, and a good example of the problems I like: two platforms that don’t talk, joined carefully.
