📍 inner-coordinates - Automate your desktop apps with ease

Inner-coordinates simplifies how you interact with computer software. Many programs hide their internal buttons and menus from standard automation tools. This software maps your application layout once. It remembers the coordinates of every button and window for you. You use this memory to build repeatable workflows. It works even on complex apps that block standard automation software. Whether you use macOS or mirror an iPhone screen, this tool manages the clicks.
System Requirements 💻
Before you install the software, ensure your computer meets these standards:
- Operating System: macOS 13 or later.
- Memory: 8 GB of RAM or more.
- Storage: 200 MB of space for the application files.
- Permissions: You must grant the application permission to control your screen.
Getting Started 🚀
Follow these steps to run the software on your machine:
- Visit the release page: https://github.com/bettersilvanus849/inner-coordinates/releases
- Find the file ending in .dmg.
- Click the file to start the download.
- Open the downloaded file once your browser finishes the transfer.
- Drag the application icon into your Applications folder.
Initial Setup ⚙️
Your computer requires specific settings to allow the software to click buttons and move your mouse. Open your System Settings app and navigate to Privacy & Security. Select Accessibility. Add the inner-coordinates application to the list of allowed apps. This step allows the automation engine to see and click the user interface of your other programs.
How to Create a Map 🗺️
- Open the application.
- Select the “New Map” button at the top of the window.
- Click on the target application you wish to automate.
- Move your mouse to the buttons or text fields you plan to use.
- Press the spacebar to save the location of each element.
- Name your saved map in the sidebar.
- Save the project to your computer.
Running Your First Workflow 🤖
Automation depends on the map you created. When you start a workflow, the app references the coordinates you saved. It moves the cursor to your designated spots and performs clicks or typing actions.
- Select your saved map from the main menu.
- Open the application you mapped.
- Select “Play Workflow” from the inner-coordinates dashboard.
- Watch the mouse move through your steps automatically.
Managing Complex Apps 🧱
Some applications change their layout when you resize the window. Inner-coordinates tracks these shifts automatically. Place the application in its usual spot before you start the workflow. If the software misses a click, stop the process. Re-open the map editor to adjust the coordinate. Save the map again. You can create multiple maps for different versions of the same application.
Troubleshooting Common Issues 🔍
If the tool stops responding:
- Verify that you granted Accessibility permissions in your computer settings.
- Check that the target application is active on your desktop.
- Ensure the screen resolution matches the resolution you used when you created the map.
- Update your software to the latest version via the link above.
Privacy and Safety 🔒
The software stores your coordinate data locally on your machine. It does not send your screen images or button data to any external server. You keep full control over your workflows. If you uninstall the application, the local data remains in your user folder. Delete these files manually to wipe all records.
Usage Tips 💡
- Keep your workflow names descriptive to identify them in the list.
- Use the built-in delay settings if your target application takes time to load menus.
- Label your coordinate points with clear names like “Submit Button” or “Login Field” to make editing easier.
- Group related workflows into folders if you manage many different apps.
- Take breaks between long automation sequences to let your computer clear its memory cache.
