What it does

LibreAutomate lets you write short C# scripts that control Windows UI, files, and processes, turning repetitive desktop tasks into one‑click automations.

When to use it
  • •You need to click through a legacy Windows app that has no API.
  • •You want to batch‑process files (move, rename, convert) on a schedule without a full‑blown RPA platform.
  • •You need to generate quick UI‑driven demos or recordings for investors.
Ready-to-paste prompt
la "C:\Scripts\InvoiceExport.cs"   // runs a script that opens your accounting app, clicks Export, saves the PDF to a dated folder, and emails it
Heads up: LibreAutomate requires the .NET Framework 4.8 (or later) and runs only on Windows 10/11; trying to run it on older Windows or without the framework installed will cause a startup error.
