AppleScript Description

AppleScript is a scripting language developed by Apple that empowers users to control both scriptable Macintosh applications and various components of macOS directly. It enables the creation of scripts, which are sets of written instructions designed to automate repetitive tasks, merge features from different scriptable applications, and construct intricate workflows. The 2.0 version of AppleScript is compatible with scripts created for any earlier version from 1.1 to 1.10.7, as well as any scripting addition made for AppleScript 1.5 or newer in macOS and any scriptable application from Mac OS v7.1 onward. A scriptable application is defined as one that can be manipulated through a script, meaning it can respond to inter-application messages, known as Apple events, that are sent when a script command is aimed at it. Although AppleScript itself offers a limited set of commands, it establishes a framework that allows the integration of numerous task-specific commands supplied by both scriptable applications and the scriptable components of macOS. This flexibility makes AppleScript a valuable tool for enhancing productivity and streamlining various computing tasks.
