TaskForge
Script Manager & AutomationOrganize, run & automate every script
TaskForge turns the pile of scripts scattered across your machine into an organized, runnable library. Run Shell, Python, Ansible, Node.js, and Ruby scripts inside a real embedded terminal with full interactive input and ANSI colour, so scripts that prompt for input work exactly as they do in your shell. Automate anything with event triggers: on app launch, at login, on an interval or schedule, when the network changes, or on system events like sleep, wake, and screen lock. Inject runtime parameters, pin a working directory and environment per script, then jump to any of them from a command palette while TaskForge keeps a persistent history of every run with exit codes and timings.
Free to download. macOS 10.15 Catalina or later. Apple Silicon and Intel supported.
