Over the years, Apple has made many improvements to the iPad environment, making it closer to Mac’s desktop user experience. Thankfully, Apple had a solution for us: Mac Catalyst, a way to bring our iPad app to macOS. Introducing Catalyst ✨ĭuring our last company hackathon, we challenged ourselves to build a better experience for our Safari users without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Due to the way the Safari App Extension was built, we unfortunately couldn’t offer the full Dashlane experience on this Extension in the same way our Chrome extension could. We needed another way. The codebase of all our core features was shared between the two apps to ship faster and more reliably. It allowed us to have a new native interface while sharing code with the iOS app. In 2020, we built Dashlane for Safari, an App Extension where users could see, synchronize and autofill their data.

It’s offered a wide feature set, from managing credentials to sharing items with your friends and family. Earlier this year, we announced that we would deprecate our desktop apps to prioritize our browser extensions, allowing us to focus on what matters the most for our users, reducing friction while on the web! Today, our extensions offer a great experience for Chrome and Firefox users, and we aim to do the same for Safari users.

Dashlane’s macOS app has been around for years.
