File contents

chrome-bookmarks

Search, browse, and open Chrome bookmarks directly from the local Bookmarks JSON file.

When to use

User asks to find or search their Chrome bookmarks by keyword
User wants to open a bookmarked URL (e.g., "打开我收藏的 TAPD 链接", "open my GitHub bookmark")
User wants to browse bookmark folders (e.g., "看看我书签栏 Code 文件夹下有什么")
User wants to see the overall bookmark tree structure

Prerequisites

Chrome browser installed (data at ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/)
macOS (uses open command to launch URLs) — for Linux, replace open with xdg-open
Python 3.8+ (system python3)

Steps

1. Search bookmarks by keyword

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py search "<keyword>" --limit 10

--limit N: max results (default 20)
--folder <name>: restrict search to a specific folder

Example: Search for TAPD-related bookmarks

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py search "TAPD" --limit 10

2. Browse bookmark folder contents

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py list --folder "<folder_name>" --depth 2

Omit --folder to list all top-level items
--depth N: how deep to traverse the tree (default 2)

Example: List items in the "Code" folder

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py list --folder "Code" --depth 2

3. Show bookmark tree structure

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py tree --depth 1

Shows top-level folders with bookmark counts. Increase --depth for more detail.

4. Open a bookmark in the browser

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py open "<keyword>"

Opens the first matching bookmark URL in the default browser using the open command.

Example:

python3 @scripts/chrome_bookmarks.py open "iWiki"

This will find the first bookmark whose name or URL contains "iWiki" and open it.

Typical workflow

User asks to find a bookmark → run search with the keyword
Present results to user — show name, URL, and folder path
User picks one → run open with a more specific keyword or confirm the exact name
Bookmark opens in Chrome

Pitfalls

Chrome must not be running a profile lock that prevents reading the Bookmarks file (rare on macOS — the file is always readable)
The Bookmarks file is only updated when Chrome writes it (on bookmark changes or browser close). Very recent additions may not appear until Chrome flushes to disk.
For users with multiple Chrome profiles, the script auto-detects Default first, then Profile 1, etc.
The open command only works on macOS. On Linux, the script would need to use xdg-open instead.
With large bookmark collections, the open command opens the first match. Use search first to verify the right bookmark if unsure.

Verification

After running search, confirm the output is a JSON array of bookmark objects with name, url, folder, and path fields. After running open, confirm the output contains "opened": true.
