About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Automa is a browser extension for building automation by connecting visual blocks, including form filling, repetitive actions, screenshots, web-data extraction, scheduled execution, and workflow sharing.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Turn browser actions into block-based workflows

UI actions, form input, and data extraction can be composed visually and executed in the browser.

Sources: [2][3]

Add scheduled execution and marketplace sharing

Automations can be scheduled and workflows can be shared or downloaded through the marketplace.

Sources: [2][3]

For repeated web tasks that do not justify a larger RPA platform

It suits recurring admin-console actions, data collection, and form workflows that can be automated from a browser extension.

Sources: [2]

Separate AGPL code from commercially licensed code

Code outside the top-level business directory is AGPL, while business is licensed under the Automa Commercial License.

Supplemental curator note

Automa makes browser automation approachable without writing all workflow logic as code. Licensing is mixed: code outside the top-level `business` directory is AGPL, while `business` is covered by the Automa Commercial License.
