Our Verdict

Everyone has their favorite (or least favorite, depending on how you look at it) beefs with Apple’s iCloud service. But one of my biggest frustrations is that many of iCloud’s most-convenient features require you to use Apple’s apps—those features simply don’t work with third-party programs.

Take iCloud Tabs, the feature that automatically syncs any open Safari tabs across all your OS X and iOS devices. The key word here is Safari—iCloud Tabs doesn’t support other browsers. But this is where third-party developers step in to help. Like previous Gem MyPhotostream, Josh Parnham’s free CloudyTabs is a simple OS X app that lets you liberate a little bit of iCloud—in this case, that bit is iCloud Tabs.

CloudyTabs, which requires OS X 10.8.2 or later, provides a simple systemwide menu that, at a click, displays all your iCloud Tabs, organized by the device hosting each tab. Each open-tab entry displays the tab’s webpage title and favicon. Choosing any item in the menu opens that tab—and here’s the kicker for non-Safari users—in your default browser, whichever browser that may be. (It’s a little strange that CloudyTabs displays your current Mac’s tabs, though I suppose that’s one easy way to shuttle tabs between, say, Safari and Chrome on the same machine.)

Though it’s a simple app, CloudyTabs does offer a few options. You can choose to simultaneously open all tabs from a particular device—for example, all the webpages you’ve got open on your iPhone. Holding down the Command key when you choose an entry (or hovering the pointer over an item and then pressing Return) opens that tab in the background (i.e., without bringing the browser to the foreground). And you can see when your iCloud Tabs were last synced by hovering the pointer over CloudyTabs’s menu-bar icon.

While I appreciate CloudyTabs’s simplicity, there are some additional features I’d like to see. For example, it’d be great to be able to choose, on the fly, which browser a tab will open in. (Safari is my default browser, but I often use Chrome for webpages that contain Flash videos, for example.) Also, some web servers—Wikipedia is one—present the mobile version of pages when loaded in iOS Safari; it would be nice if CloudyTabs could detect that and provide the URL for the desktop version on the Mac. And a keyboard shortcut for accessing the CloudyTabs menu would be useful. (Once the menu is displayed, you can type the name of a page in the menu to select it, but you still must still use the pointer first to open the menu.) But these would simply be icing on the cake of the basic features CloudyTabs already provides.

For those who flit between multiple browsers, CloudyTabs can be be a useful tool.

(It’s worth noting that Google offers a feature similar to iCloud Tabs, but you have to be using Chrome on both OS X and iOS.)

If you’re locked into Apple’s ecosystem, you probably know that it becomes hard to escape the Safari web browser. Safari on a Mac shows you all your open tabs across your various devices, plus keeps your bookmarks in sync and supports Apple’s own read-it-later service, Reading List.

But for many reasons, you might want to make the switch to Google Chrome. While it may not be as energy efficient on your Mac, it has a huge web app and extension catalog plus it’s pretty fast. If you thought that by switching to Chrome you’d have to leave your perfect iCloud harmony behind with Safari, you’re wrong. Check out these helpful tips and extensions that can bring iCloud syncing over to Google’s browser.

iCloud Tabs in Chrome

If you start browsing the web on your iPhone and iPad, then have to switch over to your Mac, it’s super convenient to be able to just open Tab View in Safari and see the tabs you’ve already opened on those devices. With one click, you can pick up right where you left off.

This only works in Safari, however. Apple doesn’t support iCloud synchronization through Chrome or any other browser for that matter. To fix this, install an app from GitHub called CloudyTabs.

CloudyTabs adds an iCloud icon to your Mac’s menu bar. When clicked, it will display your open tabs across all your iCloud-enabled devices. Selecting one of those tabs will open the website in your default browser, regardless of whether that’s Safari, Chrome or anything else.

To download, visit the CloudyTabs GitHub page. Scroll to the Installation heading, then click Download CloudyTabs. Unzip the files, then move it over to your Mac’s Applications folder to complete the installation, then launch it. Now you can see your iCloud Tabs while using any browser by clicking the icon in the menu bar.

iCloud Bookmarks in Chrome

While Apple doesn’t officially provide a solution for iCloud tabs in other browsers, it has been a bit more generous with iCloud bookmarks. Apple has its own extension in the Chrome Web Store that adds your iCloud bookmarks from your iPhone or iPad to Chrome and keeps them in sync across all your devices.

Unfortunately, this only works for Windows users, since on a Mac Apple wants to encourage the use of Safari to keep everything in sync. But this is the perfect extension for people who cherish their iPhone but still for heavy computing need to use a PC.

Just visit the Chrome Web Store to install Apple’s iCloud Bookmarks extension for Windows.

iCloud Apps in Chrome

iCloud apps (iCloud.com) aren’t exclusive to Safari as you can just go to the website in Chrome at any time to access these services. But there is a handy Chrome extension that makes iCloud even easier to access than Safari does. The extension is called Launchpad for iCloud.

It merely adds a new iCloud icon to your Chrome toolbar that gives you quick access to all of iCloud’s web apps. These include Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Photos, iCloud Drive, Notes, Reminders, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Find Friends and Find My iPhone.

If you’re one to use iCloud frequently, this small extension actually gives Chrome an advantage over Safari.

Reading List in Chrome

It’s true, you can actually partially use Safari’s Reading List in Chrome too. This trick only works on the Mac, though. All you have to do to save a link to your reading list is control-click the URL. Hover over Services then choose Add to Reading List.

Note: You still can’t view your Reading List from Chrome, so you’re limited to being able to save new entries. If you really want to switch to Chrome and miss Reading List, try Pocket or Readability instead.
