cliclick is a macOS command-line tool for emulating mouse clicks, movements, and keyboard input from the shell. It is written in Objective-C and requires Accessibility permissions to control the computer.
Use cases
- simulate mouse clicks from a shell script
- automate keyboard input on macOS
- script GUI interactions for testing
- move the mouse cursor programmatically
- record and replay mouse and keyboard actions
- automate repetitive UI tasks on a Mac
When to choose
- you need to automate macOS GUI interactions from scripts or CI
- you want a lightweight native CLI instead of a full GUI automation framework
- you need human-like mouse movement easing
When to avoid
- you need cross-platform input automation (Windows/Linux)
- you need to automate UIs on macOS versions older than 10.15
- you need high-level GUI testing with element selectors rather than coordinates
