10 alternatives to automa

automaapp/automa — A browser extension for automating your browser by connecting blocks (21,676 stars, AGPL-3.0, ui, automation, files).

These are the closest projects in the JustClaw-It index that we serve licence-cleared code from, ranked by relevance and by our code-quality score (1–10, the mean over each repo's graded components: completeness, code quality, deployability, reusability, strategic value). JustClaw-It does not serve code from automaapp/automa itself (licence class: network-copyleft), so these alternatives are the licence-cleared route.
