fabric-link — save the current Safari tab to Fabric

A small AppleScript that grabs the URL of Safari's active tab and runs fabric link <url> (stand-in until Fabric ships a native Safari extension).

Two versions in this gist:

• fabric-link.applescript — minimal, zero dependencies. Notification posts via AppleScript's built-in display notification (icon is the script's host app, e.g. Script Editor or Raycast).
• fabric-link-alerter.applescript — notification shows the Fabric app icon and clicking it opens Fabric.app. Requires alerter — a modern (UNUserNotificationCenter-based) replacement for terminal-notifier, which is abandoned and has broken click handling on macOS Sonoma/Sequoia.

Prerequisites

• macOS (Sonoma 14+ recommended), Safari
• fabric CLI installed and authenticated
• First run prompts for Automation + Notification permissions — allow both

The script auto-locates fabric via (1) login-shell PATH, (2) ~/.fabric/bin/fabric, (3) /opt/homebrew/bin/fabric, (4) /usr/local/bin/fabric.

Setup with Raycast

1. Save the .applescript into a folder Raycast watches (Raycast → Extensions → Script Commands → Add Directories).
2. chmod +x <path>/fabric-link.applescript
3. The command appears in Raycast as "Fabric Link (current Safari tab)". Bind a hotkey if you want.

Setup without Raycast

Pick any of:

• Shortcuts.app — create a shortcut with a single "Run AppleScript" action containing the script body. Toggle Pin in Menu Bar or assign a keyboard shortcut in System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Services.
• Script Editor — open the file, File → Export… → File Format: Application. Drop the resulting .app in your Dock.
• Terminal — osascript /path/to/fabric-link.applescript

Optional: alerter version (Fabric icon + click-to-open)

Use fabric-link-alerter.applescript if you want:

• The notification to show Fabric's icon instead of Script Editor's / Raycast's
• Clicking the notification to open (or foreground) Fabric.app

Install alerter:

brew install vjeantet/tap/alerter

Then same setup as above.

Why not terminal-notifier?

terminal-notifier (previously the common tool for this) was last released in November 2017 and is built on the deprecated NSUserNotification API. On macOS Sonoma/Sequoia its click handlers (-activate, -execute, -open) frequently do not fire at all. alerter is the maintained successor using the modern UNUserNotificationCenter API and works reliably on current macOS.
