At a glance

Safari is Apple’s proprietary browser; its rendering engine, WebKit, is open source under BSD and LGPL licences.

Catalog categories: browser.

Catalogued capability areas: - Web rendering via WebKit - Energy-efficient engine, privacy features - Integration with Apple platforms

This summary reflects the catalog record, not a complete product specification. Verify intended users, end-to-end workflows, supported platforms, edge cases, data handling, and constraints against cited sources. Treat capability labels as research leads until that verification is complete.

  • Web rendering via WebKit
  • Energy-efficient engine, privacy features
  • Integration with Apple platforms

Open-source alternative

3 candidate projects in the landscape. A candidate may cover all, part, or none of what Safari does — read the coverage and gaps below.

WebKit

BSD-2-Clause / LGPL-2.1

The open-source engine Safari is built on.

Engine, not a browser product.

Coverage and gaps

Alternative coverage

Partial. The WebKit engine and open WebKit browsers exist, but no verified open-source project covers all of Safari’s product features and Apple-platform integrations.

The gap

Safari’s UI, Apple-platform integrations and some DRM/media modules are proprietary; only the engine is open.

Build this product with your agent

This Markdown file is the coding-agent skill for Safari. Give it to your agent in your project; it guides research, reuse decisions, implementation and verification.

Get the Safari build skill

rae apple-safari --out ./apple-safari-agent

Generate the skill with the RAE CLI, or download the Markdown skill. The source skill is also available in the catalog.

Next step

Give the Safari skill to your coding agent in your project. Ask it to evaluate WebKit ↗ against your needs, reuse what fits, then follow the skill's build and verification instructions.

Give the product skill to your coding agent in the project where you want to build. Optional starter workspace: rae build product apple-safari --out ./apple-safari. CLI reference.
