Automate My MacBook: Goodbye to Repetitive Tasks

Keyboard Maestro is a tool for automating your Mac (or Book).
Keyboard Maestro is a way to execute user-created workflows that interact with your application to accomplish a set goal. You can do similar things with shell scripts, JavaScript, and AppleScript, but it requires a bit of a learning curve.
As non-software developers, we need something that can be easily implemented in a recipe-like manner.
Keyboard Maestro shows you how to do just that.
Keyboard Maestro is the one link that can rule everything on your Mac (Book).
You can control the Finder, AppleScript, JavaScript, Python, and Shell using Keyboard Maestro.
I enjoy using shell, applescript and keyboardmaestro to automate a ton of tasks.
I can do various text editing, file management including renaming, document translation using shortcuts, web crawling, automatically switch the keyboard to Korean upon launching messenger programs such as Telegram/Slack/KakaoTalk, extract thumbnails from videos, duplicate/rename 1500 screenshots from Finder, send them to Imagemagick to crop them, and then send them to my server.
It is also used in places like automatic window resizing of apps.
Without AppleScript or KeyboardMaestro, I would be hardly productive. Once I get going, it's incredibly cool and productive.
Keyboard Maestro also ensures the quality of the results of what you do, as it automates tasks that can lead to errors, thus reducing or eliminating errors as a result.
The time savings of automated solutions are enormous. I have measured existing manual processes that took 3-6 hours and were prone to human error. Compared to not using an automated tool, this task was reduced to 20 minutes. Depending on the case, the ratio was as high as 30:1 in some cases.
This is the most comprehensive and direct course on Mac automation on Inflearn! . Over 7 hours of 50+ lectures and videos with practical examples to get the most out of your Keyboard Maestro.
This course, with hands-on examples, teaches you how to be a keyboard maestro in a practical way.
Use this in whatever way works best for you.

      아직 온라인용 영상 제작에 익숙지 않을 때 만든 결과물이라 부족한 점이 많습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 긍정적으로 평가해 주셔서 감사합니다. 나름대로 키보드 마에스트로에 대해서 모든 것을 다루어 보려고 노력은 했습니다. 끝까지 시청해 주셔서 진심으로 감사합니다

    편리한 기능들이 많네요.

      jasu님! 그렇습니다 ^^. 파이썬 자동화가 요즘 인기가 많은데, 내가 원하는 워크플로우를 적지않은 시간을 들여 코딩을 해야한다는 사실이 자동화를 쉽게 접근하기 어렵게 하는 것이 사실이죠. 내가 자동화 도구를 이용하여 얻는 시간 절약이 10분인데, 코딩으로 20분이 소요된다면 오히려 밑지는 장사를 한셈인가요? 물론 코딩으로 만들어낸 워크플로우가 다음에도 반복적으로 사용된다면 시간 낭비로만 볼 수는 없습니다만, 어쨋든 우리는 5분 내로 쉽고 빠르게 워크플로우를 만들고 사용하는 방법이 필요합니다. 알프레드, 키보드마에스트로와 같은 생산성 도구들은 사용자에게 코딩없이도 자동화의 편리함을 제공해주고 있습니다. 맥의 공식앱 오토메이터도 있죠. 수강평 감사드립니다 :)

      kevin님! 확인 결과 일부 영상이 인코딩 오류로 정상적으로 재생이 되지 않는 것을 확인하였고, 즉각 조치하였습니다. 수강에 불편함을 드려 대단히 죄송합니다.
