Let's do this! 🤙🏼

So I'm working on another #macOS app that adds #Shortcuts support to apps that don't have them. Namely… to all of them. 😅

UI Actions adds #ShortcutsApp actions for selecting/showing menus, clicking buttons, hitting keys, typing text. It's a very reduced set of functions right now but I wanted to get the beta out of the door, and “perfect” is the enemy of "ever”.

macOS 13.3+. The public beta opens (checks watch) now. And here's the website:

I've also spent a few hours on making a super-reduced explainer video:

I'm sure I forgot a lot of things but to be fair, it was a long day and I'm ready for a walk.

So, if UI Actions sounds like something you'd be interested in, please check out the beta at https://actions.work/ui-actions, and let me know what you think! Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Also, there's a forum: https://actions.work/ui-actions/forum Not a Discord, because I'm not a monster
