Keyboard Maestro is everything that Peter Lewis, developer of Keyboard Maestro says it is. I have used it for years and the macros have saved me a phenomenal amount of time. Time = $$$. I am presently using Maestro version 5.0.3 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2 and getting solid performance. The few questions I have had, Peter responded to promptly and VERY thoroughly. If time is important to you . . . use this program!!

KM is amazing. At first I tried it to make Lotus Notes behave with the keyboard, but after exploring more of what it could do, I now cannot live without it. And the developer is VERY responsive via the discussion list. Fantastic user community.

The Swiss Army Knife of apps - this product has saved me untold hours over the last few weeks. I can't speak highly enough of it. Its like Automator on steroids. Seriously.

Awesome application. I got it for one project in particular, but I've keep on using it long after the project ended. This is an amazing automation tool! Love it!

Its Lion comatible relatively simple to use, it works steady, you know what you can and can't do.

If you have a problem with the way an app works (any app, but Final Cut Pro is one...), you can likely get the functionality you want using Keyboard Maestro.

And if you have two apps that you sort of wish were one app, the Maestro can do that as well.

I can't believe Apple won't just buy it and build it right into the OS. It is so goddamned useful. It is the glue that holds my Mac together.

IMO the developer should just pay Mr. Jono Hunt for his icons: http://www.iconaholic.com/downloads

And PLEASE hire someone to redesign the website.

I use KM on a regular basis now, but the design elements gave me a terrible first impression.

Great app. Very useful.

The only downside is the ugly ugly Windowsesque icon - which unfortunately sits in the menu bar too.

You can get a nicer replacement here:

I tried replacing the icons inside the app itself for the menu bar but unfortunately no luck. Not sure why but perhaps because the replacements are a different size.

Took me a while to figure it out the menu/title bar icons, but here goes…

1. Choose light or dark theme.

2. Copy the files in Keyboard Maestro Resources into Keyboard Maestro.app/Contents/Resources

3. Copy the files in Keyboard Maestro Engine Resources into Keyboard Maestro.app/Contents/Resources/Keyboard Maestro Engine.app/Contents/Resources

4. Restart both apps (editor and engine) and you should see the new icons!

Incredibly versatile yet very easy to use. It's hard to know how I got by without it for so many years... has become a "right hand app" on my Mac.

Sheer genius. With the ability even to specify exact mouse motions, it's amazing what you can automate with this tool. (Replaces and outperforms Automator by a long shot.)
