Save Chrome Tabs to Reminders

Description

This AppleScript saves a list of all the open tabs in your (frontmost) Google Chrome window to a new list in Reminders.app – Perfect for keeping track of webpages to return to later instead of keeping a billion tabs open all the time. I think this could be especially nice for people who share lists of Bookmarks with others (perhaps writers collaborating on an article or researchers working on a paper together)

I've rolled this script into a ready-to-go workflow for you – click here to download it. I've given it a default keyword of "ctr" (as in "Chrome Tabs to Reminders") to make it work with some of the other "Save Tabs" workflows.

I've assembled this script into a pre-packaged Action for you as well! Consider this "Experimental" as I'm new to LB6 but, if you want to try it out, click here to download it. Enjoy!
