FAQPage Schema
How do I automate macOS UI interactions from the command line?▼

You can automate macOS UI interactions by using a CLI to inspect, target, and drive UI elements across applications and windows. This allows you to script automated input, manage windows, and trigger menu or dock interactions directly from the terminal.

Can I capture screenshots and record video of macOS applications for debugging?▼

Yes, you can capture screens, record video, and perform annotated analysis of macOS applications. This enables automated visual debugging and UI inspection directly within your testing workflows.

Do I need special permissions to control macOS UI elements in automation scripts?▼

Yes, macOS requires appropriate permissions to control UI and screen input. You must grant accessibility and screen recording permissions to the CLI tool driving the UI automation tasks before executing your scripts.

What is the best way to inspect and target UI elements across macOS windows?▼

The best way to inspect and target UI elements is using a dedicated automation CLI that interacts directly with macOS app windows. This approach allows precise element targeting and automated input management within your workflows.
