UI - User Interface

https://github.com/anonymousaga made a UI with AppleScript. Not testet by myself. "I made a GUI for your app using applescript. I built it as an alternative in-an-out converter instead of finding and creating. I wanted to make sure you received credit for the real work of my app - the converting. Here is the app: https://github.com/anonymousaga/webloc-to-url-mac-app/"
