AlliHat brings Claude AI to Safari's sidebar with agent mode and workflows

Soft in all the wrong places. Take with a strong tea.
Summary
AlliHat is a Safari sidebar extension that brings Claude AI to Safari users, filling a gap where only Chrome had a Claude extension. Created by maker Nate, the tool allows users to interact with Claude directly in the sidebar while browsing — asking questions about the current page, highlighting text for explanations, using Agent Mode for navigation and form filling, and running automated workflows. It supports both bring-your-own Anthropic API key and Apple Intelligence on-device processing. The product costs $29.99/year after a free trial, with a focus on privacy (no tracking, no analytics, direct-to-Anthropic API calls).
Key quotes
· 4 pulledI built this because Chrome had a great Claude extension but Safari had nothing.
As a daily Safari user, the friction of jumping to a separate ChatGPT or Claude tab to ask about the page I was already reading was driving me nuts.
The sidebar should just see what I'm looking at.
Your key goes straight to Anthropic. No tracking. No analytics.
