Full automation on macOS is now accessible without any coding knowledge, enabling users to streamline tasks effortlessly. Tools like Automator and the Shortcuts app come pre-installed on Macs, allowing individuals to create workflows that enhance productivity without the need for downloads or subscriptions.
Automator, a long-standing feature of macOS, allows users to create workflows using simple, plain English commands. This eliminates the need for complicated syntax or script debugging, as users can simply drag and drop actions such as renaming files or converting image formats into their desired sequence.
The integration of Automator with the macOS environment ensures that it operates seamlessly with system services, allowing for folder actions that trigger upon file arrival and the creation of applications that execute workflows with a double-click. Despite its capabilities, the tool's legacy appearance and limited marketing may hinder its widespread recognition among users.
