WinUse — Windows Desktop Automation

Control a Windows machine via its REST API: take screenshots, move/click mouse, type text, manage windows. The Windows equivalent of xdotool + scrot, but over HTTP.

Prerequisites

• WinUse server running on the target Windows machine (tray app + FastAPI)
• Network access from this machine to the Windows host (LAN or localhost if WSL)
• No API key needed (v1)

Configuration

Set the Windows host (default http://127.0.0.1:8080):

export WINUSE_HOST="http://<windows-ip>:8080"
