Teak for Mac brings your library and Safari saving together in a native Mac app. An internet connection is required to sign in, browse, and save.

## Install and sign in

1. **Install**

    Get [Teak for Mac](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/teak-for-mac/id6770003409?mt=12) from the Mac App Store, then open it from Applications.

2. **Sign in**

    Choose **Sign in**, complete sign-in in your browser, and approve **Teak for Mac**. Return to the app to open your library.

3. **Enable Safari saving**

    Open **Safari → Settings → Extensions** and enable **Teak**. Click its toolbar icon to save the current page.

The Mac app and Safari extension share your connection. Signing out here disconnects this installation; your browser session stays separate.

## Your library

Search your cards, combine type filters, or show Favorites. Open a card to read its content, notes, summary, and tags. Open its source link, copy content, or download an attached file.

Use the heart to add or remove a favorite. In card details, choose **Edit** to change the title, notes, and tags, or **Delete** and confirm to move the card to Trash. Restore deleted cards in the web app. Changes sync to your other Teak apps.

## Capture

Use the capture menu in the library header:

- **Save Link** saves a URL.
- **New Note** saves text.
- **New Quote** saves a quotation.
- **Upload File…** saves a supported image, video, audio file, or document.
- **Record Audio…** records a voice note. Allow microphone access when prompted, then save the recording.

New cards appear in your library after saving. If a save fails, check your connection and try again.

## Settings and menu bar

Open **Settings** to view your account and usage, change appearance, manage the Safari extension, or sign out. Turn on the optional menu bar item for quick access to Teak.

API keys, import, export, billing, and connection revocation are available in [the web app](https://app.teakvault.com).

## Updates and limitations

Updates come through the Mac App Store. Enable automatic updates there or check its **Updates** section.

Drag-and-drop and paste-to-save are not supported. The app requires a connection and does not cache your library for offline use. Keyboard shortcuts are limited to **Esc** for dismissing sheets; there is no full app menu. The Mac app does not send crash reports or usage telemetry.
