Macro / Automation tool

Favor Cross-platform

You can also just use the native macOS Automator to build some really nice workflows and if you get into OSAscript or AppleScript, you can do some really fancy things. I think Automator is a highly underutilized app, especially because it’s a stock app (which means it’s free).

repeats/Repeat: Cross-platform mouse/keyboard record/replay and automation hotkeys/macros creation, and more advanced automation features. is cross-platform but written in Java.

Čak tri native rešenje: Script Editor, Automator and Shortcuts

AppleScript is an object-oriented scripting language with a syntax resembling ordinary English, that you can write using Script Editor and its “Open Dictionary” option. Automator, by contrast, requires no knowledge of programming, but instead allows you to construct tasks from a library of actions using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Y~ou can use the Run AppleScript action to add AppleScript scripts to your Automator workflow. A od 2021, Shortcuts je novi oficijelni tool, jednostavniji ali i manje moćan od Automatora, ali po istim principima

CustomShortcuts

Vrlo jednostavan, na nivou Shortcurs-a, ali izuzetno lak za upotrebu je CustomShortcuts koji odlično sarađuje sa shortcut-helperom CheatSheet jer omogućava podešavanje akcija za sekund. Međutim, osim već predefinisanih akcija koje advertizeuju aplikacije (Dictionary), ne podržava više od toga.

Keyboard Maestro (paid)

Keyboard Maestro: Work Faster with Macros for macOS is paid without lifetime licence, and Keyboard Maestro is mainly graphical with the ability to execute code.

Hammerspoon

Hammerspoon is purely code, in Lua, sa repo Hammerspoon/hammerspoon: Staggeringly powerful macOS desktop automation with Lua. Najbitnije je što je cross-platform.

hs.hotkey.bind({“shift”, “alt”, “ctrl”}, “A”, function() hs.application.launchOrFocus(“Wezterm”) end)

hs.hotkey.bind({}, “F2”, function() wez = hs.application.find(“Wezterm”) if wez then if wez:isFrontmost() then wez:hide() else wez:activate() end end end)

Text Expanders

̊espanso/espanso: Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust aText - Text template, shortcut, expansion for Mac and Windows is also cross-platform but not free.

Typinator nije besplatan.
