Chests for Chrome

For Chrome, Brave, Arc and Edge on the Mac · Requires Chests for Mac

The page you’re on, into a chest, in one click. A sheet like the iPhone’s share sheet opens over the page: its title (or a better one from Apple Intelligence), the chest it goes into, your tags, the Reader.

The sheet, over the page you’re on.

Install

  1. Get Chests for Mac on the Mac App Store, and open it.
  2. In Chests, open Settings › Browser and turn on Add from Chrome.
  3. Add Chests for Chrome from the Chrome Web Store, then pin it: click the puzzle piece in the toolbar, then the pin beside Chests.
  4. Click the chest in the toolbar, then Connect. Your Mac asks you to confirm: check that both show the same code, and click Connect.

How it works

  • Click the chest in the toolbar, or press ⇧⌘S (you can change it in chrome://extensions/shortcuts).
  • The sheet shows the page with its picture. Generate a Title asks Apple Intelligence on your Mac for better ones.
  • Into shows the chest, drawn as in the app, with its Feed or Vault; Apple Intelligence picks one for you. Click it to choose another.
  • Add tags, keep the Reader on for articles, then press ⏎ or click Add. The item is in Chests, and iCloud brings it to your iPhone and iPad.
Apple Intelligence’s titles, and the chest it picked.

On YouTube

Under every YouTube video, beside Like and Share, a Chests button opens the same sheet, already filled with the video: its title, channel, length and thumbnail.

In Safari

Chests for Safari comes with Chests for Mac: nothing else to download. Turn it on in Safari › Settings › Extensions, and it works as it does here: the same sheet, the same Chests button under YouTube videos.

Private by design

The extension talks only to Chests on your Mac (127.0.0.1), never to a server. It reads the page you’re on only when you click it, and keeps nothing but the key your Mac gave it. Details in the privacy policy.

If it doesn’t work

  • “Chests isn’t open”: the extension adds through the app; open Chests, then Try Again. Open Chests at Login in Settings › Browser keeps it ready.
  • “Turn on Add from Chrome”: Chests › Settings › Browser › Add from Chrome.
  • Connect it again: a browser disconnected in Settings › Browser has to connect again; your Mac asks you to confirm.
