Keyboard Maestro 6.0 was released today adding macro syncing, plug in actions, trigger by name, full support for styled text, support for controlling Safari and Google Chrome, a macro debugger, and much more.
Version 6 requires Mac OS X 10.8+, and is available only directly, not from the Mac App Store.
Version 6 is a free upgrade for those customers who purchased directly from us since October 1, 2012. It is an $18 upgrade for those people who purchased version 5 (including from the Mac App Store) until July 31, and a $25 upgrade for all other customers and after July 31.
You can read the full press release listing over a hundred new features.
Choose Check For Update in Keyboard Maestro’s menu to download the new version (assuming you are on Mac OS X 10.8).
Thank you to all my loyal customers for allowing me to continue developing Keyboard Maestro!
