Show HN: Tabgrab – easily manage the browser tabs from the command line

5 pointsby dankco11 months ago
Hi Everyone! I want to share a tool I built to solve one of life&#x27;s great annoyances - managing browser tabs!<p>tabgrab is a command-line tool (CLI) to save the URLs from the tabs of an open browser window on macOS. URLs from every tab can be saved to a file, copied to the clipboard, output to the console, or all 3. A custom prefix (such as a leading dash &quot;-&quot; or asterisk &quot;*&quot;) can be added, which is convenient for dumping a list of tab URLs into a bulleted list. To get fancier, a custom template can be specified to include the tab&#x27;s name and url and format as desired (e.g., as a markdown link). Importantly, tabgrab can also reopen all tabs from its own output.<p>The tool is intentionally lightweight, focused on doing one thing well, which is managing the ever-growing number of tabs I open. Right now the implementation is macOS specific, but I&#x27;d invest the time for cross-platform support if there proves to be sufficient interest.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dkaslovsky&#x2F;tabgrab">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dkaslovsky&#x2F;tabgrab</a><p>I wrote this tool for my own use but have expanded and polished it in the hopes that others might find it useful as well. I&#x27;d love any feedback on areas of improvement! Thanks!
