require 'cfpropertylist'
require 'fileutils'

path = File.expand_path '~/Bookmarks.plist'
plist = CFPropertyList::List.new file: path

list = plist.value.value["Children"].value.select do |item|
  if title = item.value["Title"]
    title.value == 'com.apple.ReadingList'
  end
end.first.value["Children"].value

bookmarks = list.map do |item|
  item.value["URLString"].value
end.reverse

puts "Opening #{bookmarks.count} tabs "
bookmarks.each do |url|
  `open "#{url}"`
