This is a tool for powerful automation of OS X. At its core, Hammerspoon is just a bridge between the operating system and a Lua scripting engine. What gives Hammerspoon its power is a set of extensions that expose specific pieces of system functionality, to the user. With these, you can write Lua scripts to control many aspects of your OS X environment.

Hammerspoon is a fork of Mjolnir by Steven Degutis. Mjolnir aims to be a very minimal application, with its extensions hosted externally and managed using a Lua package manager. We felt that we wanted to take the project in a different direction to its maintainer, so the fork was born.
Our intentions for Hammerspoon broadly fall into these categories:
- Ever wider coverage of system APIs in Extensions
- Tighter integration between extensions
- Smoother user experience (e.g. signed releases, easier access to documentation, easier discovery of extensions)
