Terminator

Terminator is an open source desktop automation framework described by its maker as Playwright for your entire desktop. Instead of OCR or pixel matching, it drives native Windows applications through the operating system accessibility APIs, locating elements by role and name, for example a button called Save. The vendor says this keeps scripts working when DPI, theme or layout changes, and cites step times of 50 to 300 milliseconds with no image tokens spent per action. It targets developers who have been let down by tools such as PyAutoGUI and AutoHotkey, and teams that want AI agents to operate real applications. A Playwright style SDK is available in TypeScript, Python and Rust. An MCP server exposes more than 35 tools so that Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop and other MCP clients can open applications, type, click and read the screen through structured selectors. A one line installer and client configurations are sent by email on request. Windows is fully supported today. macOS and Linux are listed as in development, with waitlists. The project is MIT licensed and hosted on GitHub. No pricing is published, and the framework itself is free to use.
