⚙️ Setup Instructions (macOS)

1️⃣ One-Click Setup

Make the setup script executable (only once):

chmod +x setup.command

Run the setup:

./setup.command

This script will:

• Create a Python virtual environment
• Install all required dependencies
• Prepare the project for execution

---

2️⃣ macOS Accessibility Permissions (Required)

macOS blocks keyboard and mouse automation by default.

Go to:

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility

Enable access for:

• Terminal (or VS Code / iTerm, depending on usage)

Restart the application after enabling permissions.

---

▶️ Running the AutoTyper

Run using the virtual environment:

./venv/bin/python main.py

During the 10-second countdown:

1. Switch to the target window
2. Place the cursor where typing should begin
3. Do not touch mouse or keyboard unless stopping

---

🛑 Safety & Fail-Safe Mechanism

Emergency Stop:

• Move the mouse to any corner of the screen

PyAutoGUI will immediately stop execution.

⚠️ The fail-safe is intentionally enabled and must not be disabled.

---

📝 Notes

• Ensure the correct window is focused before typing starts
• Avoid touching the mouse during auto-typing
• code.txt can contain text or source code
