Scripted or repetitive workflows between or within applications can be implemented natively by using APIs that are shipped with those applications. It will be the case that these APIs are missing, are incomplete, or do not provide the same kind of interactions that a user would experience. An obvious but cumbersome workaround is for a human to walk through the UI of the application and perform the workflow manually.

Where APIs are provided, they typically do not provide the desired experience for scripted workflows. APIs are designed to be an alternative to the user interface. However, a video production or app demonstration would like to present the user interface with a smooth and well-designed, but scripted, human-like mouse and keyboard interaction.

For the macOS operating system, there are a number of vendors who offer a product that attempts to provide solutions for scripted or repetitive workflows. There are good solutions for niche problems, such as clicking a button 50 times. When it comes to customisation or scripted workflows with human-like mouse and keyboard dynamics, they tend to fail.

AutoMotion Studio is a natively written app for the macOS operating system that provides a lightweight yet powerful interface for the design of scripted and repetitive workflows for the automation of mouse and keyboard operations. It does not compete with niche problem-solving apps already available in the Apple App Store, but instead targets users with a strong need for everyday workflow automation, video producers, heavy gamers, and app and web designers.

AutoMotion Studio is designed to create workflows fast and in the usual native way for macOS, and to provide all the features that target users want.
