About AutoJs6
AutoJs6 is a JavaScript automation tool for Android that uses the system accessibility service to perform actions on the device. It is a continuation of the Auto.js project, whose original author stopped maintaining it in 2020, and AutoJs6 began its own development in December 2021 while staying open source and free.
The README, in several languages, summarizes the history of related projects such as Auto.js Pro, Auto.js by other developers and AutoX, listing their developers and active periods. Users write scripts in JavaScript to simulate taps, swipes and other interactions, automate repetitive phone tasks, and run them directly on the device. A documentation site covers the API and usage.
The app is written in Java and JavaScript and licensed under MPL-2.0. Because it controls apps through accessibility permissions, users should only run scripts they trust and be mindful of what permissions they grant. It suits Android power users, testers and hobbyists who want to automate phone workflows with a scripting language.
