About Userscripts
Userscripts is an open-source userscript manager and editor for Safari on macOS and iOS/iPadOS. It installs .user.js scripts through the extension popup or by saving files to a designated directory, and can use an iCloud folder to share scripts between devices, with a built-in editor on macOS.
It is installed through Apple's App Store and requires iOS 15.1 or higher, or macOS 12 with Safari 14.1 or higher. The iOS version has no built-in editor, and iCloud syncing may have delays or file eviction.

Userscripts FAQ
How do I install a userscript on iOS?
Visit a .user.js URL in Safari and open the extension popup to see an installation prompt, or save a .user.js file directly to the Userscripts directory. The URL path must end with .user.js.
Do I need to set a userscripts directory on macOS?
No, if you are not syncing between devices. It uses a default directory automatically, and you only need to select a location to store scripts elsewhere.
Can I sync scripts between macOS and iOS?
Yes, by selecting an iCloud folder as the directory, though syncing may be delayed and files may be evicted; on macOS 15 / iOS 18 set the folder to "keep downloaded".
Is something wrong or out of date?
