Safari Installation Guide

Welcome! This guide will walk you through installing the "Again, Why Salesforce" Safari extension on macOS.

Because this app is not distributed through the Mac App Store, there are a few extra steps to enable it β€” especially for Safari.

Don't worry! Follow the instructions below and you'll be up and running in just a few minutes.

Here's a GIF for reference.

step by step installation instructions

Download the Installer

Open the releases page and find the latest release for Safari.

The release name follows this pattern: awsf-safari-v?.?.?.dmg (you'll find numbers instead of the "?").

Open the Installer

Once downloaded, double-click the .dmg file to open it.

πŸ›‘ If macOS Prevents the App from Opening

When you try to open the app, macOS may show a warning like:

"Again, Why Salesforce" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

You have two options to bypass this:

βœ… Option 1: Use Control-Click to Open

  • Go to your Applications folder.
  • Control-click (or Right-click) on "Again, Why Salesforce".
  • Select Open from the context menu.
  • A warning dialog will appear, but this time you'll see an Open button. Click it.
πŸ’‘ You only need to do this once β€” after that, macOS will allow the app to open normally.❗ This operation will have to be repeated for future releases.

πŸ›  Option 2: Use System Settings

If the above method doesn’t work, follow these steps:

  • Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS).
  • Go to Privacy & Security.
  • Scroll down to the Security section.
  • You’ll see a message about the blocked app β€” click "Open Anyway".
  • Confirm in the pop-up by clicking Open.
πŸ’‘ Again, this only needs to be done once.❗ This operation will have to be repeated for future releases.
