Scriptcat

Scriptcat is a user script manager and browser extension designed to install, execute, and manage custom JavaScript scripts to modify website behavior and extend browser functionality. It features a JavaScript sandbox environment that provides specialized APIs for storage, cookies, and system notifications, alongside a cloud-synced script repository to keep subscriptions and configurations consistent across multiple devices.

The project includes an in-browser script editor for writing, testing, and debugging code directly within the browser. It also incorporates a cross-domain request engine that enables HTTP requests to bypass standard browser security policies to exchange data with external domains.

The system covers a broad range of capabilities including browser automation via recurring task scheduling and background script execution, web page customization through context injection, and comprehensive script lifecycle management such as bulk importing and version control. It provides data persistence through local, tab-scoped, and synchronized storage, as well as security controls for domain-based blocking and permission management.

Features

  • Browser Extension Script Managers - Acts as a comprehensive manager for installing and executing custom JavaScript scripts to modify website behavior.
  • Sandboxed Scripting - Executes scripts in a restricted sandbox environment to prevent interference with other browser processes.
  • Browser-Based Workflows - Implements automation engines to schedule recurring tasks and run background scripts independently of open tabs.
  • Cross-Origin Networking - Implements a mechanism to bypass standard CORS restrictions and exchange data with external domains.

  • Cross-Origin Request Engines - A system for performing HTTP requests that bypass browser security policies to exchange data with external domains.
  • Cookie Management - Provides interfaces for reading and modifying HTTP cookies across different domains subject to user authorization.
  • Script Execution Blocking - Implements a domain blacklist to prevent specific user scripts from running on designated websites.
  • Background Task Schedulers - Executes scripts continuously in the background to perform persistent tasks independently of open tabs.
  • Inline Editors - Provides a built-in code editor that allows scripts to be modified directly within the browser interface.
  • Script Update Management - Checks for updates to installed scripts and applies silent or manual updates to the latest version.
  • Script Execution Controls - Defines execution order and environment permissions, including specific modes like incognito windows.
  • Star history
