Features

  • Menubar-Only App:
    Runs as a menubar app with no Dock icon, keeping your workspace clean and distraction-free.

  • URL Grabbing:
    Automatically detects your active browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and more) and copies the current tab’s URL to your clipboard.

  • Customizable Copy Behavior:
    Choose from multiple behaviors when copying a URL:

    • Show Notification: A system notification appears with the copied URL.
    • Silent Copy: No visual feedback is shown.
    • Play Sound: A sound is played to indicate the URL was copied.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts:
    Record and use a custom keyboard shortcut to trigger URL grabbing. The app enforces a minimum combination of at least one modifier key (e.g. Command, Shift, etc.) to prevent accidental activations.

    • Recommending using ⇧⌘C. (this is the default Arc's Copy URL shortcut, I got used to that lol)

  • Update Checker:
    Automatically checks for new releases on GitHub. If an update is available, Hyperlink notifies you and provides a link to download the latest version.

  • Debugging & Diagnostics:
    Enable debug logging and easily copy diagnostic information for troubleshooting.

  • Appearance Customization:
    Choose between multiple menubar icons (e.g. “EXTL” and “LINK”) from the Appearance settings. The selected icon updates in real-time in the menubar.

  • Clean & Modern UI:
    A preferences window with multiple tabs (General, Browsers, Shortcut, Advanced, Appearance) for a structured, easy-to-navigate configuration experience.
