24 alternatives to I made an UI for AutoHotkey using Python
This is my free and open-source project that work with taking input from user and made AutoHotkey script from it. With integration of AutoHotkey Interception to make script able to remap only on specific devices. Can be useful for someone who want to use AutoHotkey, but don't know how to code or just lazy to code or simply someone who don't know AutoHotkey but interested in it's feature and want to use this project as a whole. This is not official tool from AutoHotkey but my standalone project.

Hello HN, this is the first functional reimplementation of AutoHotkey [1] for Unix-like systems, as far as I am aware. Half the commands are still missing, but everything important is done, as I have worked a lot on it over the past two months. Converting scripts into stand alone binaries is also supported. Hope this will find some adoption eventually. :-) - This implementation focuses on v1.0-like classic syntax from 2004 (!). This is a significant subset of the popular current v1.1 syntax from Windows (AHK_L). The reason this does not (yet?) target the full Windows spec is how complex it…

Autotab is a Chrome extension that writes Selenium code to mirror your actions as you navigate the browser. See it in action: https://youtu.be/UypAcozIaoo Autotab lets you create browser automations that actually work. We designed it around two principles: 1. Show, don’t tell: In a domain like web automation, it's often easier to *show* the model what you want rather than to explain it in sentences. 2. Code is the best output: Code is easy to inspect and enables manual tweaking of the model’s suggested actions. On top of that, code output avoids lock in and is straightforward…

Hi HN, Francesco from Cua here. I hacked this project together last weekend, inspired by the Codex Computer-Use release and lessons learned from deploying GUI-operating agents for our customers. The main problem: when a UI automation process controls a desktop app today, it usually takes over the human’s session. Your cursor moves, keyboard focus gets stolen, windows jump to the front, and you have to stop working until the agent is done. That is why we have historically avoided encouraging users to run these processes directly on their host machine, instead relying on VMs or GUI containers…

Hi all! A little background: I've been working on natto.dev, a spatial environment for JavaScript. I'm really excited about new interfaces for code (leveraging metaphors we're good at, spatial reasoning, making state visible, design tools, etc). With all the buzz around PyScript, I discovered Pyodide and got it working inside natto. This Python version is a stripped down version of https://natto.dev (eg interactive outputs, multiplayer) so please check that out if this interests you. I'm excited to share this spatial environment for Python. Imagine Jupyter cells arranged on a 2D…

I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

It currently supports Linux as of now. You can use this package to tinker with many things. Let's say, if you want to make a custom notification system, like if your website is down, you can make a blink notification with it. MacOS support is underway. I haven't tested Windows yet, I don't use it anymore btw. In future, if this package reaches nice growth, I'll be happy to make a similar Rust crate for it.

This is my third ever GUI programming project -- I've only ever done any sort of programming in AutoIt as I'm entirely self-taught via their docs/tutorials. I've only just started learning about control flow and structuring of GUI apps really recently, so you might find that the data access patterns in my source code to be a mess as I wrote them before learning about those concepts.

So, you know how bigtech gives nearly unlimited credits for coding tools and in the same time put a huge admin whitelist of what commands are allowed? So, instead of becoming a 100x engineers, you (including me) simply become a multi-window-enter-clicker I build a tool to solve this. It works locally, using OCR finds the "run" (or any other label you put e.g. accept, allow, fetch etc. ) and just clicks this button. Originally this was a tool for me and my team, but people seamed to love it so much, they encouraged me to share with you. I do understand that workflows in each bigtech company…

Hey HN! I built an open-source Python library that lets AI agents control mobile apps. Its heavily inspired by browser-use Here's a quick demo https://x.com/itsericktorres/status/1932996729458110482 From our experience testing mobile workflows or automate repetitive app tasks has always been a pain. You either write brittle UI automation scripts or do everything manually. And after testing out browser-use and seeing all the cool things people were building for web without the pains of normal automation I decided I wanted to build something like it but for mobile So I…

Hi HN, I'm excited to share ClickRepeat, a tool I've been building to tackle the tedious, repetitive tasks we all face on our computers. The core idea is simple: you record yourself performing a task once (clicking, typing, navigating apps), and ClickRepeat's AI learns the workflow. Then, you can replay that exact automation anytime, locally or eventually in the cloud. Think of it like creating macros by demonstration, without needing to write scripts or deal with complex RPA setups. For example, you could automate: - Generating weekly reports by pulling data from different apps/sites.…

Being inspired by old third-party scripting environments such as AutoIt or AutoHotkey, I've developed my own scripting environment for Windows. I've always been fascinated by creating an own programming language and I made the syntax in a way it feels more like something that contains a personal flavor. The language matured over the years and I both use it for administration and automation tasks, but also for fully scripted applications as well. On the homepage, you'll find various production scripts as well as links to scripted applications. The scripting environment is free and open-source…

Hi HN, I'm the developer behind MyRephra. To be honest, I built this tool for myself, born from a deep frustration with the current state of AI writing assistants. Like many of you, I live in my text editors, word pages, and web forms. I found that despite the boom in built-in AI, they were actively fighting my workflow: * The Constant Context Switching: The biggest flow-killer. Why should I have to highlight, copy, open, find the tab, paste, click a button, wait, then copy and paste back? It's a dozen steps for one thought. * The Black Box Problem: Where is my text going? Is it being…

My first public repo intended to be used by others. While I am curious on how you'd use it, I'd love feedback on the code/setup/pythonic nature of it all. I am on a career break and just experimenting a lot, especially on ways to make AI useful for everyday things. I've coded more in the past 6 weeks than the past 6 years and don't know a lot of python devs. Python was never big language at my previous companies, but something I used a lot for tools and projects going back to college compiler days. Old habits die hard. Are there tools that do this as you screenshot? Probably...…

A little game I made to show off an old project. The functionality of the CPU is derived entirely from simulated logic gates. All the operations and control flow are based on the underlying properties of the logic gates, and changing their operation leads to corresponding changes in function. The original game code is all python and it runs in the browser using wasm/pyodide. Not very mobile friendly

OOMOL Studio▲11Hi HN, We’ve been working on [OOMOL](https://oomol.com) for the past few years – a workflow automation platform built for developers. Unlike Zapier or n8n, OOMOL runs locally in a containerized environment, supports full Python and Node.js (with third-party libraries), and gives you the same flexibility as writing real code. It’s like VS Code meets workflow automation. Key points: - Local-first (no cloud lock-in) - Python and Node.js support (you can mix both!) - Pip/npm libraries supported out of the box - Fully visual with programmable nodes - Share & reuse flows as…
