What is Rulr?
Rulr is a visual Mac automation app for building When–If–Do Rules. A Rule listens for an event, checks optional conditions, and performs actions automatically on your Mac.
What can I automate on my Mac with Rulr?
Rulr can automate windows, apps, files, folders, text, clipboard content, screen text, browsers, audio devices, keyboard shortcuts, scripts, and more. Available capabilities depend on the Rule and required macOS permissions.
Do I need to write code to automate my Mac?
No. Most Rulr Rules are built visually by combining Triggers, Conditions, and Actions. Optional advanced Actions can run AppleScript, Shell scripts, browser JavaScript, and Apple Shortcuts when you need more control.
Can I use Rulr for free?
Yes. Rulr Free supports unlimited Rules and everything you need to build complete everyday automations. Rulr Pro unlocks more advanced Triggers, Actions, and integrations for a one-time purchase.
Does Rulr run locally without an account or internet connection?
Rulr is designed to run locally on your Mac and does not require an account. Most Rules work without an internet connection. A Rule only needs internet access when you configure it to use an online service, website, download, or connected app.
Why does Rulr need macOS permissions?
Some Triggers and Actions need permissions such as Accessibility, Screen Recording, Automation, or access to files and folders. Rulr requests them only when needed for the features you use.
Which macOS versions does Rulr support?
Rulr supports macOS 26 and later.
What is the refund policy for Rulr Pro?
You can request a full refund within 30 days of purchase. After 30 days, purchases are generally no longer eligible for voluntary refunds, except where required by applicable law.
Who makes Rulr?
Rulr is built and maintained by a solo indie developer. I’m continuously improving it and always listening to feedback.
