Arc Pinned Tabs to HTML Bookmarks Converter

Overview

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.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • Arc Browser installed

Installation

  1. Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:ivnvxd/arc-export.git
  2. 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.py

Usage

Run 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]

Troubleshooting

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.

Features

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

Example Usage

How It Works

  1. Read JSON: Reads the StorableSidebar.json file from the Arc Browser's directory or the project's directory.
  2. Convert Data: Converts the JSON data into a hierarchical bookmarks dictionary.
  3. Generate HTML: Transforms the bookmarks dictionary into an HTML file.
  4. Write HTML: Saves the HTML file with a timestamp, allowing it to be imported into any web browser.
