I was not asked to leave a review, I just wanted to show my support and let other Sumolings know how awesome of a tool this is. I hope that others will hop on this deal so the developers are motivated to continue innovating on this.

I'm a big Zapier fan because it makes it easy for a non-programmer like me to run automations and integrate web applications together. But there are a number of things that Zapier can't do especially if the applications or APIs don't provide the triggers or actions that you need to automate any given task.

U-Xer fills the gaps and lets you run scenarios both offline (desktop/laptop) and online via the browser to do things that aren't easy to automate via API or Zapier.

For a long time I have especially wanted to automate some file management tasks on my computer. I am in the video production industry and after a shoot there is a lot of media that needs to be downloaded to the computer, organized in various directories, proxied with a compression tool, and then uploaded to a service. It's really tedious and often delays the start of the post-production process because we aren't able to hand off media to our editors until all of that manual work has been done.

If you can imagine: our process used to involve downloading hundreds of gigabytes of footage to the computer, so we would start that process manually, then have to come back to the computer an hour later and check for when it was done; then we would compress all of those files and save the proxy copies to different directories, and that compression task takes hours, so we would need to walk away and come back again to check for when it was done; then we would upload those proxies online which again would take some hours. Lot of manual work and leaving and returning to the computer.

I've finally created a scenario to handle all that with U-Xer. All I need to do is run the scenario and it will take care of everything step by step for me after work, or while I sleep! You can also add delay steps that allow processes time to run before another task begins.

It's worth mentioning that because U-Xer relies on computer vision, there is perhaps a greater possibility for certain steps to fail. For example, if on a given occasion you have another window open that is obstructing the view of an element that U-Xer was meant to interact with, then the program won't be able to see that element and it will just fail. So you need to think carefully about potential obstacles that a scenario might encounter and plan accordingly.

One thing I'd really like to see in the future is the ability to create different paths based on conditions. Like if one thing happens, the scenario would go down path A, or if another happens, down path B.

Looking forward to seeing this company grow and the app improve!
