Keyboard Maestro is a powerful utility that lets you build macros to automate virtually anything on your Mac, from simple app launches to complex multi-step workflows triggered by hotkeys, schedules, or system events.

Unlike basic automation tools, Keyboard Maestro gives you over 100 built-in actions covering text manipulation, window management, clipboard history, file operations, web scraping, and application control. You can chain these into macros that run exactly when and how you want them.

Key features:

• Trigger macros via hotkeys, typed strings, time schedules, USB events, or application focus
• Clipboard manager with history — access anything you've copied, not just the last item
• Text expansion and snippet library for frequently typed content
• Window and application management across multiple displays
• Built-in script support for AppleScript, JavaScript, Shell, and Python
• Web browser automation for form filling and page manipulation

Keyboard Maestro is a one-time purchase and widely considered essential software for Mac power users. If you find yourself repeating the same actions daily, it will pay for itself within a week.
