Free · Chrome · Safari (macOS) · No accounts · Nothing stored
One click
Click the toolbar icon. URL copied. That's the entire workflow — a brief "Copied URL" that shows what it grabbed, then it gets out of your way.
Private by design
Reads only the current tab's URL, at the moment you ask. No network requests, no tracking, no data ever leaves your device. Privacy policy →
Keyboard shortcut
Grab the URL without touching the mouse. Cmd+Shift+C on Safari, Alt+Shift+C on Chrome.
How to use
Click the toolbar icon
Pin GrabURL to your browser toolbar, then click the icon on any tab. The URL copies instantly and the popup closes on its own.
Keyboard shortcut
Copy the URL without touching the mouse. Shortcuts vary by browser:
Questions
Why is the Chrome shortcut Alt+Shift+C and not Cmd+Shift+C?
Chrome reserves Cmd+Shift+C (Ctrl+Shift+C on Windows and Linux) for DevTools, so GrabURL suggests Alt+Shift+C there. If you would rather match Safari, rebind it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts; a manual assignment overrides the conflict check.
Does it copy the exact URL, query string and all?
Yes. GrabURL copies the address exactly as the browser has it, including the query string and fragment. It does not shorten, clean, or rewrite anything.
Does it work on Windows and Linux?
In Chrome, yes. The Safari version is a macOS app extension from the Mac App Store. Other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave, and Arc can usually install the Chrome version from the Chrome Web Store, though we only test Chrome and Safari.
Can it copy the page title too, or a Markdown link?
No. GrabURL has exactly one job, and that keeps it small enough to read in an afternoon and fast enough to never notice.
What does it do with my browsing?
Nothing. It reads the URL of the active tab at the moment you invoke it, writes it to the clipboard, and forgets it. No network requests, no storage, no analytics.
Is it free?
Yes, on both stores, with no in-app purchases.
