SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

macOS UI automation and screen interaction can be tedious and error-prone when performed manually. Peekaboo provides a CLI to capture, inspect, and automate UI elements, windows, and dialogs to streamline repetitive tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automate UI actions across apps: launch, quit, click, type, and navigate through dialogues and menus.
  • Capture and analyze UI state: take screenshots, inspect elements, and verify UI flows with optional annotations.
  • Scripted automation: run sequences of commands to reproduce user workflows or test scenarios, with shared snapshot caches for consistency.
  • Use Case: quickly automate a login flow in a macOS app by interacting with the app, filling fields, and submitting forms.

Quick Start

Install Peekaboo and run a simple UI automation task with a single command to validate setup.
