In this class, you'll learn how easy, fun, and empowering it is to automate everything from text shortcuts to complete workflows. Using Keyboard Maestro for Mac, you can eliminate mistakes, reduce repetitive tasks, and take back your time for what matters.

Not sure you need automation? Here are 3 quick examples of how I use Keyboard Maestro:

File Mover: When I plug in my Archive drive, Keyboard Maestro moves everything in my Mac's Completed folder to the archive. It happens so quickly that I don't even notice it.
Teacher's Helper: With one keystroke, Keyboard Maestro opens my university email, course materials, and grading queue; arranges the windows onscreen; and displays a clickable list of frequently used feedback comments.
Complex Work Setup: With one click, Keyboard Maestro downloads a .zip from my client's DropBox, unzips it, and deletes the files I don't need; displays a music keyboard on my MacBook's Touch Bar; launches four different files and a Web site in their respective applications; starts my task timer; and arranges the windows the way I need them.

Check out the Bonus Example videos for more ideas, including spreadsheet setup with formula-based conditional formatting and countless shortcuts in pro creative apps like Logic Pro, CS, etc. I'll help you find great ways to speed up your work, too!

No programming is required, just a good understanding of your own work.

Why learn from me? I make a living with my Mac in the music business, so I know what it means to be a busy creative professional. Plus, I have 14 years' university teaching experience. Mac automation with Keyboard Maestro has improved my work quality – and my earnings – while making everyday tasks faster, more fluid, creative, and fun.

By the time you finish this class, you'll know how to:

launch multiple applications and websites with just a keystroke
use other types of triggers to kick off your automations, such as connecting to a specific wifi network
resize windows to precisely the size and position you prefer
choose any menu command from any app
auto-generate new automations by recording your onscreen actions
benefit from a bunch of tips, tricks, and best practices that will make your macros consistent and reliable – and you'll understand why they work.

You'll also have a Resources PDF (see the Projects & Resources tab) that summarizes all lessons and includes helpful links and reference material.
