UI Actions
Use macOS Shortcuts to control any app that has menus, buttons, or accepts keyboard input.
Currently in development for macOS 13.3 and later. Download Public beta and check the beta forum
New Shortcuts Actions. Just BYOA*.
*) Bring Your Own Apps
UI Actions is a utility Shortcuts app. It lets you control any app that
has menus, buttons, or accepts keyboard input. If you wish your favourite app had any
Shortcuts support, so you could just automate the things you do manually again and again,
then UI Actions might be for you.
You can show or select menus and menu items, click buttons, simulate typing on your
keyboard, and key presses with modifiers (like Cmd, Opt, Shift, and Ctrl).
But this is just the bare minimum to get the beta started. I have a number
of tasks on my todo list for UI actions, but I also want to get some user input first. No
point in building something nobody wants, right? 😉
Do you have ideas for additional actions? Then head on over to
the ActionsDotWork forum and let's discuss them!
