FastScripts for Mac

At a glance

FastScripts is a small macOS utility that speeds up routine tasks by letting you run scripts quickly and reliably. It works with multiple scripting languages and places script execution within easy reach so you can bypass repetitive menu navigation and save time.

Core capabilities

• Assign global keyboard shortcuts to launch scripts instantly without opening menus.
• Invoke scripts directly from a compact menu-bar item for one-click access.
• Organize and manage collections of scripts with an uncluttered interface for easier maintenance.
• Support a wide range of languages so you can use AppleScript, shell scripts, and other common formats.
• Offered at no cost, making it accessible to anyone who wants to streamline macOS workflows.

Who gets the most value

FastScripts is especially helpful for developers, power users, and anyone who relies on small automations to speed up daily work. Casual users can benefit too: once shortcuts or menu entries are set up, routine actions become faster and less error-prone.

Pricing and alternatives

FastScripts is available for free. If you’re exploring other options, consider these tools:

• Rectangle Pro — a window-management utility with additional automation-focused features (free tier available).
• BetterTouchTool — highly customizable input mapping and automation (paid, with a trial).
• Keyboard Maestro — advanced automation for complex workflows (paid, popular with power users).

Each alternative emphasizes different strengths (window management, input customization, or deep automation), so choose based on whether you want simple script launching or more expansive automation capabilities.
