🔱 mozeidon-macos-ui

A simple window ala spotlight to list and select Firefox or Chrome tabs, history and bookmarks via mozeidon.

⚠️ This app does not run in sandbox mode, because the app relies on the mozeidon CLI executable.
⚠️ By design this app assumes that you'll always use only one browser window, see this issue.

Using mozeidon, set your own global shortcuts from outside your browser to :

• list all currently opened tabs
• switch to a currently opened tab
• close a currently opened tab
• list and open recently-closed tabs
• list and open current history
• list and open current bookmarks
• open a new tab

Installation

You can use homebrew or a manual installation.

Requirements :

• requires macOS >= 13.5 ( Ventura ).
• install in your web-browser (Firefox or Chromium) one (or both) of these browser-extensions :
  • Firefox addon mozeidon
  • Chrome addon mozeidon
• ( for a manual installation only )
  • the required dependency mozeidon CLI
  • the required dependency mozeidon-native-app

Homebrew

brew tap egovelox/homebrew-mozeidon

brew install --cask egovelox/mozeidon/mozeidon-macos-ui

Running the above commands, brew will install

• the mozeidon-macos-ui app in /Applications/mozeidon :
• the required dependency mozeidon CLI in /opt/homebrew/bin/mozeidon
• the required dependency mozeidon-native-app in /opt/homebrew/bin/mozeidon-native-app

Then you should be able to launch the mozeidon app from your macOS Applications, a trident 🔱 should appear in your macOS menu-bar ( this is where you may adapt your shortcuts and setup ).

In case you need to bypass some OS security, you may run ( at your own risk ) :

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/mozeidon/mozeidon.app

Last but not least, don't forget

• to install and activate the mozeidon browser-extension in your favorite browser,
• to reference the mozeidon-native-app in your browser configuration

Manual installation

This is a bit more complex because of dependencies : you first have to install yourself the mozeidon CLI and mozeidon-native-app components. See mozeidon and follow the installation process.

Then please find the latest release here. Then unzip, and paste into your Applications folder.

You can also clone this repository, you'll always find the latest app release in the release directory ( to be pasted into your Applications folder ).
