Staggeringly powerful OS X desktop automation with Lua. Making the runtime, funtime.

Hammerspoon is a desktop automation tool for macOS. It bridges various system level APIs into a Lua scripting engine, allowing you to have powerful effects on your system by writing Lua scripts.

I replaced four different tools with Hammerspoon - it handles my window management (replacing Slate), inserting Snippets (replacing TextExpander), keeping my Mac await when necessary (replacing Caffeine), and handles various app specific scripting (replacing an overgrown AppleScript mayhem). I sync my configuration between Macs, so that when I get a new machine it works exactly like the old one out of the box.

@maebert How does this compare to your previous AppleScripts?

I used to love using autohotkey on Windows before switching to Mac but had never realized there was a Mac equivalent until now. Thanks for hunting this!

Have used it for 2-3 years, LOVE IT! It was when i switch to Mac, looking for an alternative to "AutoHotKey". Btw, you should make a community page where we can share our config/functions :)
