Keyboard Cowboy

About

Keyboard Cowboy is a keyboard shortcut utility for macOS 13.0 and later. It lets users automate repetitive actions, launch applications and scripts, control system settings, and manipulate files and folders, all without taking their hands off the keyboard. The site describes its interface and setup as simple enough for users of all levels.

Keyboard Cowboy supports contextual application triggers, so workflows can respond when an application is opened, closed, or when the user switches to it. Once a workflow is created, it runs automatically without a keyboard shortcut or manual step. The site also notes that binding frequently used commands to the function key can help programmers and power users work more efficiently.

According to the site, Keyboard Cowboy does not collect personal information or send data to third parties. All data is stored locally on the user's computer. The app is disabled when a password field is focused or when macOS is in secure input mode.
