icloud-tabs's Issues

Change events

Could be useful to have some events for when tabs are added/removed. It could use fs.watch to watch ~/Library/SyncedPreferences/com.apple.Safari.plist, read it and diff the tabs changes.

Mark current device

Would be useful for users to know which is the current device.

Could check the the deviceName against the hostname and computername.

Does this still work? How to use?

I know how to use NPM but where do I put the JS code to run it?

Thanks for the help.

Doesn't work on macOS Sierra
