日本語

Requirements

• macOS
• Google Chrome
• Node.js 18+ or Bun

Installation

Run without installing:

npx @sho-hata/nibble

Or install globally:

npm install -g @sho-hata/nibble
nibble

Usage

Basic

npx nibble

Presents 5 randomly selected bookmarks from Chrome (use -n to change the number):

▶    Some article you saved — example.com
     A tool you meant to try — github.com
     That blog post from last year — note.com
     ...

j/k: move  d: delete  o: open  Enter: confirm  Esc: cancel

Key bindings

| Key | Action | |-----|--------| | j / ↓ | Move to next item | | k / ↑ | Move to previous item | | o | Mark to open in browser (green) | | d | Mark for deletion (red) | | Enter | Confirm — opens marked items, deletes marked items | | Esc | Cancel and exit |

To show 10 candidates:

npx nibble -n 10

Auto mode

npx nibble --auto

Picks one bookmark and opens it immediately — useful for cron jobs or automation.

# Open a random bookmark every morning at 9am
0 9 * * * npx nibble --auto

How it works

• Bookmarks source: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Bookmarks

If Chrome is running when you delete bookmarks, a warning is shown since Chrome may overwrite the file on exit.
