Butler's purpose is to make it easier for you to perform different — potentially recurring — tasks. Butler lets you arrange these tasks in its fully customizable configuration. There, you can assign one or more triggers to a task:

Triggers	←	Butler	→	Tasks
• menu bar/docklet • pop-up menus • abbreviations • hot keys • hot corners • events				• launch applications • open files • access preference panes • manage bookmarks • search the web • run AppleScripts • extend the pasteboard • enter text snippets • simulate keystrokes • control iTunes • accelerate Spotlight • move/copy files • more…

Due to its unique variety of triggers and tasks, Butler is more flexible than any other productivity tool you've seen before. That's why we call it the Original Many-Tricks Pony. So don't worry if you don't have a use for all of its features right from the beginning. Just start using Butler and discover a new feature every day.
