AutoControl
AutoControl is a Python framework for automating desktop applications. Control the mouse and keyboard, capture screens, and find interface elements with images, OCR or accessibility APIs. Use it from Python, JSON action files, the desktop GUI or an MCP client.
Get started
Requires Python 3.11 or later.
python -m pip install je_auto_control
Read the screen dimensions without sending input:
import je_auto_control as ac
print(ac.screen_size())
To use the desktop app:
python -m pip install "je_auto_control[gui]"
python -c "import je_auto_control; je_auto_control.start_autocontrol_gui()"
What you can do
- Automate mouse, keyboard and window operations.
- Locate controls with image matching, OCR, accessibility APIs or optional vision models.
- Save repeatable workflows as JSON action files.
- Connect AI clients through MCP, or integrate through REST and Python.
- Use recording, scheduling and remote-desktop tools through the optional GUI.
Windows, macOS, X11 and Wayland use different backends. Available features depend on system permissions and optional dependencies; Windows ARM64 has additional limitations. See the installation guide before choosing a deployment target.
Managed agent tasks and cross-host transfers include experimental features. See the implementation notes and project progress before relying on them in production.
