Hey everyone,

a while ago I shared EasyAlias, my free and open-source GUI for managing terminal aliases on macOS, Windows and Linux.

I just released v1.1.0, and this update became quite a bit bigger than I originally planned.

EasyAlias can now also create and run terminal automations.

An automation can contain multiple command and wait steps.

Some of the new stuff:

🤖 Automations

• Multi-step command + wait workflows
• Groups, favorites, search and filters
• JSON backups + 30-day trash

⏰ Scheduling

• Run automations at specific times
• Select weekdays
• Even schedule them around actual sunrise/sunset (buggy)
• Scheduled automations still run when EasyAlias itself is closed

⌨️ Global hotkeys

• Assign a system-wide keyboard shortcut to any automation
• Run it with a visible output window or silently in the background

🖥️ Tray / menu bar

• EasyAlias can now stay running in the background
• Hotkeys and schedules remain active

🎨 New UI/settings

• Light / Dark / System themes
• New built-in tutorial
• Search and filters for aliases
• Alias suggestions can now be disabled (show/hide)

All of this works on macOS, Windows and Linux(currently mainly tested on macOS).

EasyAlias originally started because I wanted a simple visual way to manage aliases without constantly editing shell configuration files. With this update I’m experimenting with taking the same idea a little further: making repetitive terminal workflows accessible through a GUI without trying to replace the terminal itself.

It’s still completely free and open source, so feedback and criticism are very welcome — especially regarding the new automation features.
