Show HN: Sisypho – Mac app that creates GUI based automation scripts

https://www.sisypho.com
1•skhan71•4mo ago
Hi HN! We’re Saumik and Harish, co-founders of Sisypho (https://www.sisypho.com/).

Sisypho is a Mac app that generates automation scripts from natural language. You can use it to automate both desktop apps and browser workflows.

At our previous jobs, we kept running into repetitive tasks that were painful to script—placing test orders through different flows, running SQL queries across multiple tools, and doing manual data entry. Two things kept slowing us down: - Many tools don’t expose APIs, so automation was impossible without GUI scripting. - Writing scripts requires programming knowledge, which excluded teammates like Ops who also needed automation.

We tried Computer Use Agents, but they were non-deterministic and expensive. We wanted something simple and reliable.

How It Works: - Describe the workflow in plain English. - Record yourself performing it once (desktop + browser). - (*For browser recordings, you would need to install the extension and connect it to the app) - Sisypho combines selectors from the recording with your description to generate a deterministic script.

Under the hood: - Uses macOS accessibility APIs for desktop automation (you’ll need to enable Accessibility permissions). - Chrome extension for browser automation. - Scripts are validated and deterministic, so the same inputs always produce the same results.
