Product Description: 

Keyboard Maestro is a closed-source commercial macOS-based application that allows automation of routine functions, such as navigating running applications, opening documents, typing text, expanding abbreviations, and controlling web applications, by means of a visual programming language with support for variables, styled clipboards, functions and text tokens, if-then-else logic, loops and other functions.

Main Features: 

  • Keyboard Maestro keeps a complete history of the user's clipboards, so they'll never lose their clipboard again.
  • Copy three things, then paste them all into another application.
  • Each trigger, action, token, function, condition and collection links directly to the wiki.
  • Option select from the insertion menus to go directly to help for that item. Use the gear icon to call up the needed help.
  • Launch any application at the touch of a key.
  • Show applications, hide them, force quit them, bring them to the front, all at the user's command.
  • Insert any kind of text using a Typed String or Hot Key trigger. Type the text or paste in styled text or images. Expand text to insert the user's name, address, logo, signature.
  • Move, click, double click and drag, any button, optionally with modifiers anywhere on the screen or in a window, and more.
  • Resize, reposition, bring to front, close, zoom, minimize and more. Position windows exactly where they're wanted.
  • Press a button, select a menu, and the user can show a menu leaving it open to select the desired item.
  • Play a specific song or playlist, play, pause or stop, rewind or fast forward, set the rating or the volume. And similarly for QuickTime Player.
  • The Share button on the toolbar lets the users easily share macros to the Forum, or via messages, email and more.
  • Use all sorts of expressive tokens like today's date in any format, window positions, wireless networks, Safari document URL and much more.
  • The Macro Inspector window tells the users when they created, modified or last used a macro. They can also see how many times they’ve used it and how much time it has saved them.
  • Display macros in palettes (like toolbars) so the users can easily select from a number of options. 
  • Show Keyboard Maestro how to do something. Users can also record Quick Macros on the fly for immediate playback.
  • Open a file, folder, application, URL, system preference pane, the current Finder selection or even the CD tray.
  • Keyboard Maestro can show notifications, display alerts, prompt for extra information, beep, speak, or play a sound.
  • Execute AppleScripts, or shell scripts like perl, python or ruby. Execute Automator workflows, or filter the clipboard with BBEdit Text Factories.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Requires OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later (including Mojave).
