Automa
Browser extension that automates repetitive web tasks by visually connecting blocks — no code required.
Automa is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that lets you automate repetitive browser tasks by building visual workflows. You connect blocks — click, fill form, extract data, loop, condition, wait — in a drag-and-drop canvas, and Automa executes them in sequence. No code required, though JavaScript blocks are available for power users.
Use cases range from auto-filling forms and scraping data from websites, to scheduling recurring tasks and chaining multi-step workflows. Workflows can be triggered manually, on a schedule, or via keyboard shortcut. Extracted data can be exported to CSV, Google Sheets, or sent to a webhook.
Compared to Zapier or Make, Automa focuses specifically on browser-based automation — it lives in the browser, not on a server, so it can interact with any website you can open, including those without public APIs. For personal productivity and light web scraping without spinning up a headless browser service, Automa covers a lot of ground with minimal setup.
