Applescripts.

This repository serves as a collection/library of personal applescripts. In creating this library, I wanted to make these scripts universal rather than application specific, however many of them are specific to my needs.

Script Categories

• Application Services
• Display Settings
• File and Folder Actions
• Location Helper Scripts
• Markdown Tools
• Notational Velocity
• Pandoc and Textutils
• Snippets
• Sound Scripts
• Temperature Conversion
• Terminal
• Time and Date
• Miscellaneous
  
  

Links/Dependencies

• Caffeine App (or here) - a menu bar application that prevents your monitor from sleeping. (If you don't want an extra application in your menubar, here is a different way, and if you're on 10.8+ you can go ahead and use this command. Both work via do shell script.)
• Location Helper - use core location in applescripts.
• Twitter Scripter - interact with twitter via applescript.
• Pandoc and Textutil - document conversion via the command line.
• Youtube-Post.scpt requires GoogleCL, which is also useful for blogger, google calendar, and contacts
  • GoogleCL is sadly defunct. Any associated scripts remain for posterity.
• I have also created a few Gists for more specific applescript/bash related tasks.
• Also, check out my Alfred Workflows, including dued, which may be my favorite creation.
