EventScripts overview

EventScripts is a simple application for triggering AppleScripts or shell scripts whenever certain events occur. Perhaps you would like to execute a script every time the track changes in iTunes, or whenever your Internet connection drops? Maybe you'd like to trigger a script every time the location of your computer changes? Or maybe you'd like to be able to trigger scripts on your Mac from your iPhone, iPad or iPod?

All these and much more are possible with EventScripts, and its free companion iOS application EventScripts Mobile. EventScripts also passes parameters to the scripts that it executes that provide additional information about the event that triggered execution. Our Web site contains many useful example scripts as well as full details of the events that EventScripts supports, and the parameters it passes for each event.

The events that EventScripts supports include: location changes; internet connectivity changes; application launches and quits, computer shutdown, sleep and wake; screen sleep, wake, and locking; screensaver start and stop; time machine backup completion; desktop picture changes; spaces changes; iTunes track changes; screenshot generation, volume mounting and ejection, and more… Check our Web site for the full list!

What’s new in version 1.35

This version adds support for Apple Music events, and deprecates the iTunes events. Any scripts attached to iTunes events will still appear in the interface, simply change their event type to the equivalent Apple Music version.

I wasn't aware of this app until recently. I've worked on creating a combination of shell script and AppleScript to routinely check my public IP address (it changes whenever my ISP does updates to their service). I see this event is one captured by EventScripts. However, at $7.99, I need to find two more use cases to justify purchasing it. Right now, I have a cron job that runs every hour which serves my purpose.

I've been using EventScripts since 2012 and it has always worked perfectly for me. It continues to work with High Sierra, and the longer I use it, the more indispensable it becomes! Currently using version 1.13.
