Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

osx-query

osx-query installs the native osx CLI for querying and interacting with macOS Accessibility trees.

The npm package is a thin installer. During npm i -g osx-query, it downloads the signed and notarized binary that matches your Mac from the project's GitHub Releases.

Install

npm i -g osx-query

After install:

osx --help

What You Get

  • CSS-like querying of Accessibility trees
  • Actions against matched elements
  • Interactive query mode for exploring app structure
  • Signed and notarized binaries for:
    • macOS arm64
    • macOS x64

Examples

Query the focused app:

osx query --app focused "AXWindow AXButton"

Query a specific app:

osx query --app TextEdit "AXTextArea,AXTextField"

Open the interactive selector UI:

osx interactive TextEdit

Requirements

  • macOS
  • Accessibility permission for the process running osx

If queries return nothing useful, grant Accessibility access to your terminal app in:

System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Accessibility

Optional Codex Skill

On first run, osx can optionally prompt to run:

npx skills add Moulik-Budhiraja/OSX-Query

That step is optional and only appears once in an interactive terminal. If you skip it, you can still run it later yourself.

To suppress the prompt entirely:

OSX_QUERY_SKIP_SKILLS_PROMPT=1 osx --help
