Autoscripts is a local-first userscript manager for supported mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. Create or import .user.js scripts, review permissions before enabling them, run scripts only on matching websites, block sensitive sites, inspect source, manage updates, and back up your library as ZIP files. Scripts, settings, storage values, blacklist rules, and backups stay under your control. Autoscripts does not provide developer-operated script hosting, analytics, ads, accounts, subscriptions, or tracking.
