Tab Transporter Scripts\n\n**Tab Transporter moves tabs in bulk across broswers on macOS**\n\nMore precisely, it moves tabs from the frontmost window of `\u003csource browser\u003e` to

Use Case\n\n- I've opened a bunch of tabs in Safari (such as new apps to check out), but I need to get them out of the way for now to focus on work\n- [OneTab](https://www.one-tab.com) handles this in Chrome, but it doesn't exist for Safari\n- I desire to stash all of these tabs in one centralized location\n\n## Installation\n\nThis is an example for the Safari to Chrome version. There's also a Chrome to Safari version included, and there will probably be additional browser support in the future.\n\n- In the `AppleScript` folder, open one of the `tt_*.applescript` files in Script Editor.app (we'll start with `tt_safari_to_chrome.applescript`)\n- `File \u003e Export...`\n  - Export As: Tab Transporter - Safari to Chrome.app\n  - Where: Applications\n  - File Format: Application\n  - Options:\n    - (none checked)\n  - Code Sign: Don't Code Sign\n\nFor other browsers, repeat the above instructions *changing the source and destination browser names* when choosing the script file to open and exporting it as an app.\n\n## Usage\n\n- Launch it when you want to move tabs (I type `tt` in [Alfred](http://www.alfredapp.com), but Spotlight works just as well)\n\n## Alternatives\nThis section covers possible solutions that didn't work for me, which led me to create Tab Transporter.\n\nDr. Drang wrote a similar survey of the same problem in October 2012 in *[Saving browser tab sets](http://leancrew.com/all-this/2012/10/saving-browser-tab-sets/)*.\n\n- [Pinboard Tab Sets](https://blog.pinboard.in/2011/04/new_save_tabs_feature/)\n  - Available in the [Save tabs to Pinboard](https://pinboard.in/resources/safari/save_tabs) Safari extension (which is separate from the main [browser extensions](https://pinboard.in/resources/extensions/))\n- Safari\n  - `Add Bookmarks for These n Tabs` - doesn't integrate with Chrome tabs\n  - `Add These n Tabs to Reading List` - doesn't sync with OneTab in Chrome, Pocket, etc.\n  - `Develop \u003e Open Page With \u003e Google Chrome` - moves only one tab at a time\n    - If you don't have this menu item, ensure this is checked: `Preferences \u003e Advanced \u003e Show Develop menu in menu bar`\n- [Switch](http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/42431/switch)\n  - Has cross-browser sync, but... handles only one page at a time, and consumes precious menu bar real estate\n  - No longer maintained\n\n## Misc\n\nTested on Mac OS X 12.6.3. Other recent will most likely work, but have not been tested by me personally.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftedmiston%2Ftab-transporter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftedmiston%2Ftab-transporter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftedmiston%2Ftab-transporter/lists"}
