Keyboard Maestro is a closed-source commercial macOS-based application that allows automation of routine functions, such as navigating running applications, opening documents, typing text, expanding abbreviations, and controlling web applications, by means of a visual programming language with support for variables, styled clipboards, functions and text tokens, if-then-else logic, loops and other functions.{{cite web|title=Keyboard Maestro overview|url=http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/documentation/6/overview.html|publisher=Stairways Software Pty Ltd|accessdate=2013-08-01|author=Stairways Software Pty Ltd|archive-date=2013-08-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130806125621/http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/documentation/6/overview.html|url-status=live}}

Features include recording and designing macros, clipboard history, saved clipboards, and navigation through applications and windows. Macros are organised into groups which can be limited to operate within certain applications.{{cite web|title=Keyboard Maestro features|url=http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/documentation/6/features.html|publisher=Stairways Software Pty Ltd|accessdate=2013-08-01|author=Stairways Software Pty Ltd|archive-date=2013-08-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130805111225/http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/documentation/6/features.html|url-status=live}}
