Script macOS apps via AppleScript/JXA: Mail, Calendar (EventKit attendees), Notes, Reminders, Finder (disk/file info), and Spotlight/mdfind (full-text and metadata search across the file system).
Control macOS system audio via osascript. Use when getting or setting system volume, toggling mute, listing audio input/output devices, or checking which device is the default output.
Automate Google Chrome with osascript/JXA. Use when listing/focusing/closing/navigating/reloading tabs, muting tabs, managing windows, executing JavaScript, scraping page content, extracting links, filling forms, reading localStorage/cookies/audio state, or reading Chrome history/bookmarks/downloads/extensions/profiles.
Read and write the macOS clipboard with full type support. Use when reading clipboard text, HTML, RTF, images, or file paths (Finder copy); writing rich content; detecting clipboard changes via changeCount; or intercepting content between copy and paste.
Read macOS app SQLite databases directly. Use when reading iMessage chat history, Chrome browsing history, Safari history, or any local app SQLite DB. Always copy the DB before querying — most apps lock the file while running.
Create and manage macOS LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. Use when setting up background automation, scheduled tasks, file watchers (WatchPaths), interval polling, or persistent daemons that survive logout or reboot.

System Events Accessibility API — UI automation for native AppKit apps. All scripts are Python with JXA embedded.
Only native AppKit apps expose full UI trees. Electron apps (Slack, VSCode, Chrome, Notion) only expose window chrome — not page content.
Menu bars work on ALL apps including Electron — menus are always accessible.

Dump the accessibility element tree for a named app (depth-limited):
uv run scripts/ui-tree.py "TextEdit"
uv run scripts/ui-tree.py "Finder" --depth 3
List all menu bar items and submenu items for any running app:
uv run scripts/menu-items.py "Safari"
