[[Optimization/Tools/Keyboard Maestro]] is an application I use to automate many tasks within the OSX operating system. I use it together with [[Optimization/Tools/Alfred]] and [[Optimization/Hardware/StreamDeck]].

I regularly find myself using [[Knowledge/Programming/JavaScript/JavaScript]] and [[Knowledge/Programming/Node.js]] scripts to create individual actions.
