You have to do some trial and error but it allowed me to run automation on apps which didn’t allow me earlier. KM finds that specific image in the screen and then runs your automation. I can find specific section using the image like certain icon or menu text. Eg., I have an app which does not provide KB shortcuts but only uses mouse actions. Last but not least is the powerful find image action in KM. Just invoke them at certain condition and ask KM to output the whole script output in separate window ( not terminal window) In KM, I don’t have to rewrite my scripts. I run multiple scripts run at certain schedule and when certain conditions are met I.e it will wait till certain condition occur eg., specific folder is mounted, or when certain window is at top etc., and have the output in a notification / separate window etc., we can do the same in Alfred but you have to format your script output to json and you should not have any other output. I invoke KM macros via Alfred and vice versa. Scheduling: I have multiple scheduled workflows in KM which does complex operations frequently. In KM creating such palettes are very easy and handy. ![]() ![]() Eg., I have a macro which disables/closes certain apps, disables notifications when any of my video conferencing apps are open or in front.Ĭreate macro palettes / macro groups which allows to have preset of your automation snippets at your fingertips globally or app specific Eg., I have a palette for text operations like transform CSV, TSV formats, markdown formatting etc., you can do the same using BTT but you have to create custom html/ JS scripts. ![]() I found that KM is the easiest of all to create such sequences. You can create complex automation sequences easily with variables. I don’t use these tools to the full capabilities but Here is how I see them fit for my use cases. All these tools are great for productivity. Just my 2 cents - I use BTT, Alfred and Keyboard Maestro (KM).
