AppleScript is like a personal assistant for your Mac - it listens, understands and executes commands in a syntax that often reads like plain English. Need to open Safari, move files, or schedule an email? AppleScript can handle it. It’s like having a digital butler that knows how you like things done.

Introduced in 1993, the language has long been a companion for Mac users who want to automate workflows. With AppleScript you can control apps, manage files and even build simple utilities. It’s not the fastest or trendiest language, but it’s deeply integrated into macOS and extremely powerful for the right tasks.

If you want to take control of your Mac and make it work for you, AppleScript is worth exploring. It may be mature, but it remains a reliable toolbox for macOS automation.
