About:
Keyboard Maestro is a powerful automation tool for macOS that enables users to create custom macros to streamline repetitive tasks. It offers a visual interface for building workflows that can control applications, manipulate windows, and automate complex sequences. The software significantly boosts productivity by reducing manual effort across the entire operating system.

Key Features:

Visual macro builder with drag-and-drop actions
Hotkey and trigger-based automation
Application and window control
Clipboard management and text expansion
Conditional logic and flow control

Use Cases:

Automating repetitive data entry tasks between applications
Creating custom keyboard shortcuts for complex workflows
Batch processing files and folders
Building application-specific workflows and macros

Alternatives:

Alfred – Alfred focuses on launcher and search with workflow extensions, while Keyboard Maestro excels at complex macro automation
Shortcuts – Apple's native solution is more limited and less powerful for advanced automation compared to Keyboard Maestro's extensive feature set
Hammerspoon – Hammerspoon requires Lua scripting knowledge, offering more flexibility but steeper learning curve than Keyboard Maestro's visual interface
