I have been writing scripts in AutoIT for windows based systems and now I need to duplicate those scripts for use on Macs (M1 and M2). AutoIT is windows only so that will not work. I haven't written scripts for Macs before.
I need to be able to retrieve basic system information, create a simple UI for the script, open apps, manipulate the UI by sending keystrokes and/or mouse clicks, get start and end times for tasks performed (I was able to detect the end of a task on Windows system by checking pixel changes on the screen), and output times and system info to a CSV file.
Is Applescript a good tool for this? Should I look into Python or something else? Any recommendations would be helpful.
