Set it up

  1. Open the disk image you downloaded, and drag Raphael into Applications.
  2. Open Raphael from Applications. If macOS says it can’t check the app, open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and press Open Anyway.
  3. Sign in with your Raphael account. On Essentials or Complete, your phone and other computers sign in with the same account. On Free, Raphael runs on your Mac: add your phone with the connection code or QR your Mac shows.
  4. Setup takes you through the rest, one screen at a time.

Connect your browser

During a block, Raphael keeps you on task in your browser too. A small extension tells it which tabs are open. It works on a Mac.

Firefox, Zen, LibreWolf, Floorp and Waterfox

  1. In Raphael, open Settings, then Connectors.
  2. Press Install on your browser’s row. Your browser opens Raphael’s add-on, which Mozilla has signed.
  3. Press Add when your browser asks.

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera and Chromium

  1. In Raphael, open Settings, then Connectors, and press Set up on your browser’s row. Finder shows the extension’s folder, and your browser opens its extensions page.
  2. Turn on Developer mode.
  3. Press Load unpacked, and choose the folder Finder showed.

Raphael isn’t in the Chrome Web Store yet, so these browsers load it from that folder. After Raphael updates, press reload on Raphael in the extensions page, or restart the browser.

The extension sees each tab’s title and address, without the part after the question mark. It doesn’t read pages, it skips private windows, and it talks only to Raphael on your Mac, so it needs no sign-in of its own. Safari can’t run it, so Raphael sees Safari as one app.
