AuTool Scripts

AuTool is a scripting language that brings the power of Greasy Monkey to your desktop environment.

AuTool provides a rich set of APIs to help you interact with your operating system and network; you can use these APIs to automate your workflow with ease. Check out our showcases to see what you can do with AuTool.

Installation

Note: AuTool is still in alpha stage. We are working to refine the functions. Please stay tuned for the updates.

Usage

Install the free apps from our example script page.
AuTool searches for autool-tasks.json file under $HOME/Desktop/apps folder, and loads the tasks into the GUI window.

Add Scripts

Each AuTool script is a YAML text file. You can specify your own action sequence or configure the script start-time, hotkey, number of instances, etc.
Here is a simple example to change keyboard when active window is changed. The APIs are in form of ${TYPE}.${ACTION}(...${ARGS}) => ${RETURN}. E.g., os.shell is a built-in API that can execute shell commands and returns the output.

task: switch-when-window-switched
configs:
  - hotkey: ~
  - autostart: true

actions:
  # Listen for window switch event
  - event.on(__WIN_ACTIVE_CHANGED__) => $win:

      # Switch keyboard to English 
      - cmd.if( {{ $win.title }} == 'Visual Studio Code' ):
          - os.shell(InputSourceSelector select com.apple.keylayout.US)
