Applescript

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 the were created to meet a specific need, and might not be universally applicable to your useage.

Please reach out if you need help reworking any of these scripts for your project.

Copies of this repository exist at Github, Gitlab, and my personal site

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.
