What is Vimari?
Vimari is a Safari extension for macOS that adds Vim-style keyboard navigation to web browsing. It is designed for Safari users who prefer to move around pages, follow links, switch tabs, and scroll with the keyboard instead of relying on a mouse or trackpad. The app helps bring a command-driven browsing workflow to Safari, making it useful for developers, keyboard-focused users, and anyone who wants faster page navigation. Vimari includes configurable shortcuts and settings for how links are detected and how pages scroll. It also supports exclusions for sites where you do not want the extension active. Published by Televator, Vimari is offered as a lightweight Safari-focused alternative for users who want browser navigation centered on keyboard commands.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Vimari is a legitimate Safari extension for keyboard-based browsing. It interacts with webpages in Safari so it can detect links and respond to shortcut keys, which is normal for its purpose. As with other browser extensions, it can affect how keyboard input behaves on websites while it is enabled. Keep it enabled only if you use its shortcuts regularly, and disable it in Safari if it interferes with site-specific typing or controls.
Recommendation: Keep Vimari if you use Safari and want Vim-style keyboard navigation as part of your everyday browsing workflow. If you no longer use the extension or prefer standard Safari controls, you can remove it or disable it in Safari without affecting macOS itself.
