This project provides a script for converting pinned tabs in the Arc Browser to standard HTML bookmarks file. These bookmarks can then be imported into any web browser.
This addresses the lack of a pinned tabs export feature in Arc Browser.
- Python 3.x
- Arc Browser installed
- Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:ivnvxd/arc-export.git - Navigate to the project folder:
cd arc-export
or download using curl:
curl -o main.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivnvxd/arc-export/main/main.pyRun the main.py script from the command line:
python3 main.py [-h] [-s] [-o OUTPUT] [-v] [--version]
# or if there is an error:
python main.py [-h] [-s] [-o OUTPUT] [-v] [--version]If you encounter any problems, manually copy the StorableSidebar.json file from the ~/Library/Application Support/Arc/ directory to the project's direc`tory and run the script again.
The script supports various command-line options for enhanced functionality:
-
Show help message and exit
-h,--help
-
Silence output
-s,--silent
-
Specify the output file path
-o OUTPUT,--output OUTPUT
-
Enable verbose output
-v,--verbose
-
Print the git short hash and commit time
--version
Example usage:
python3 main.py -v -o my_bookmarks.html
- Read JSON: Reads the
StorableSidebar.jsonfile from the Arc Browser's directory or the project's directory. - Convert Data: Converts the JSON data into a hierarchical bookmarks dictionary.
- Generate HTML: Transforms the bookmarks dictionary into an HTML file.
- Write HTML: Saves the HTML file with a timestamp, allowing it to be imported into any web browser.
