ScriptCat is an open-source browser extension that acts as a userscript manager, fully compatible with Tampermonkey scripts and GM_* APIs. It adds unique capabilities like background scripts, scheduled (cron) scripts, cloud sync, script subscriptions, and a built-in code editor with intelligent completion.

Use cases

  • run userscripts to remove ads from web pages
  • migrate existing Tampermonkey scripts to an open-source manager
  • run scripts in the background without an open tab
  • schedule scripts to run automatically like daily check-ins
  • sync installed scripts across devices and browsers
  • write and debug userscripts with a built-in editor
  • install community scripts from GreasyFork or the ScriptCat script store

When to choose

  • you want a free, open-source, privacy-focused Tampermonkey alternative
  • you need background or cron-scheduled userscript execution
  • you want cloud sync of scripts across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox
  • you develop userscripts and want an integrated editor with GM API support

When to avoid

  • you only need content blocking rather than script execution (a dedicated ad blocker is simpler)
  • you rely on every Tampermonkey API, since only a subset is implemented
  • you need a manager for browsers other than Chromium/Firefox-based ones
