MacOS automate tools and scripts. AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA).
Motivation
Sometimes macOS application state can be broken,
so we need way to restore it especially when macOS cannot do it for us.
Project automation features:
* Save Finder tabs
* Save iTerm2 tabs
* Save Sublime tabs
* Save Sublime file history from Session
Save all opened Finder tabs
File:
SaveFinderTabs.scpt
