CLI to orchestrate and automate graphical desktop workflows.

Project description

weavgui

Turn any vision-capable LLM into a desktop GUI operator.

weavgui provides a minimal CLI toolkit that closes the loop between seeing and acting: take an annotated screenshot, feed it to a vision model, move the mouse, and repeat — until the model clicks exactly where it needs to.

screenshot (with crosshair) → vision model analyzes image → mouse move / click → screenshot → ...

No browser required. No DOM. No accessibility tree. Just pixels and a feedback loop.

Installation

uv tool install weavgui

To upgrade an existing installation:

uv tool upgrade weavgui

Quick Start

weavgui --version
weavgui screenshot -o out.png
weavgui mouse move '(100,100)'
weavgui mouse moveto '(500,300)'
weavgui mouse click
weavgui pasteboard write hello world
weavgui pasteboard read
weavgui keystroke command+c

Coordinate System

Mouse and screenshot-related commands share the same coordinate convention:

  • Primary-display logical coordinates (pixels)
  • Origin at top-left: (0, 0)
  • x increases to the right, y increases downward
  • Single-display only (primary monitor)
  • On macOS Retina, screenshots are downscaled to logical resolution so that pixel coordinates match mouse coordinates

Command Reference

Global

Command Description
weavgui --version Print CLI version
weavgui -h Show help

screenshot

Capture a screenshot of the primary display and save it as PNG.

weavgui screenshot -o <output.png> [--without-cursor]
Option Description
-o, --output Output .png path (required)
--without-cursor Skip cursor overlay drawing

Default behavior (without --without-cursor) annotates the cursor position:

  • Red crosshair spanning the full screenshot
  • Red inner box centered on cursor (200×200 px)
  • Blue outer box centered on cursor (600×600 px)
weavgui screenshot -o out.png
weavgui screenshot -o out-no-cursor.png --without-cursor

mouse

mouse move '(dx,dy)'

Move the cursor by a relative pixel delta. The argument uses (dx,dy) format. Fails if the target position would leave the primary display bounds.

weavgui mouse move '(100,100)'
weavgui mouse move '(-100,50)'

mouse moveto '(x,y)'

Move the cursor to an absolute position. The argument uses (x,y) format. Fails if the position is outside the primary display bounds.

weavgui mouse moveto '(500,300)'

mouse click

Left click at the current cursor position.

weavgui mouse click

mouse doubleclick

Double left click at the current cursor position.

weavgui mouse doubleclick

mouse rightclick

Right click at the current cursor position.

weavgui mouse rightclick

pasteboard

pasteboard read

Read text from the system pasteboard and print to stdout.

weavgui pasteboard read

pasteboard write <text...>

Write text to the system pasteboard. Multiple arguments are joined by a single space.

weavgui pasteboard write hello world

keystroke

Simulate keyboard input. Supports single keys and combinations joined with +.

weavgui keystroke <keys>
Input Meaning
c Press c
ctrl+c Press Ctrl+C
command+c Press Command+C
shift+a Press Shift+A
alt+f4 Press Alt+F4

Modifier aliases:

Alias Resolves to
control ctrl
cmd command
option alt

On macOS, single-key combos with command are sent via AppleScript for better reliability.

weavgui keystroke c
weavgui keystroke ctrl+c
weavgui keystroke command+c

Development

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/yankeguo/weavgui.git
cd weavgui
uv sync

Run commands from source:

uv run weavgui --version
uv run weavgui screenshot -o out.png

Notes

  • Mouse and keystroke automation requires Accessibility permission.
  • If commands fail on macOS, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility and grant access to your terminal application.
