Workflow: Bookmark frontmost Brave tab in Safari bookmarks

[Skone]

This workflow bookmarks the frontmost tab in Brave as a Safari bookmark. This is because Alfred doesn’t natively support Brave browser in the bookmarks sync, so you can still easily sync your bookmarks via Safari’s built-in (and iCloud) features.

 

Overview

 

This workflow uses an AppleScript to do the following:

1. Grab the current tab’s URL and title from Brave Browser.

2. Open that URL in Safari and automatically trigger the “Add Bookmark…” option.

3. Set the bookmark title (either from the Brave tab or from your custom Alfred query).

4. Confirm the bookmark in Safari, then close Safari and return to your workflow.

5. Display a notification that the bookmark has been added.

 

Below is the general flow:

• Alfred Keyword (e.g., bmm):

Type bmm <name (Optional)>

As an alternative to bespoke AppleScript, you can use an Automation Task which does the same thing and supports more browsers (including whatever is frontmost).

Nice one Vitor, I didn't know this! It looks like it can gather the frontmost tab but I don't see an automation task for bookmarking?

@Skone That was just in reference to getting the URL and title of the Current Front Browser Tab. You still need to handle automating the specific save location of a bookmark yourself.
