Userscripts for Safari

A simple, open-source, userscript editor for Safari.

Installation

Install via Mac App Store or clone the project and build with Xcode.

Usage

Using the extension is simple. You can open the editor by clicking on the the toolbar button. Any code you write will be injected into every website you visit.

Here are some usage notes:

• cmd + s to save changes to the editor
• hinting is automatic, you can use the shortcut ctrl + spacebar to toggle hinting manually
• your code is saved into ~/Library/Containers/com.userscripts.macos.Userscripts-Extension/Data/Documents/userscript.js
  • this file can be edited with any code editor, however if the browser/extension is currently running, those changes won't be reflect in the include editor unless you reload the popover (right click -> reload) - the changes will be injected whether or not you reload
• you can click the download icon to save your script file locally, without needing to navigate to this folder
  • note, you will not be able to download the script on a blank tab
• you can toggle script injection on and off by clicking the "power" icon
• the code folding key command is ctrl+q

Why?

With the depreciation of .safariextz style extension in Safari 12, I wanted a way to quickly and easily create some "quality of life" userscripts. Since it's no longer possible to create and sign, even personal, .safariextz extensions, I needed a new way to dynamically create userscripts.

There are other userscripts editors/managers for other browsers, and even good ones for Safari, but I wanted something very simple and open-source.
