Goodbye workarounds: UiPath delivers native automation for macOS

Native automation for macOS with UiPath

As enterprise device strategies evolve, macOS is becoming a bigger part of the picture, making up more than 24% of desktop operating systems in the U.S and over 15% worldwide. That’s a shift that automation and technical leaders can’t ignore.

Until now, it’s been hard to bring automation to teams using Mac-only or mixed-device environments. But not anymore.

With macOS automation now generally available, UiPath empowers organizations to extend automation to every user, on every device. Whether your teams use Macs, PCs, or a mix of both, they can now automate more workflows, accelerate innovation, and deliver meaningful business outcomes—without limitations.

Native, intelligent automation, now on macOS

UiPath now offers native support for Mac desktop automation: no emulators, no workarounds. Just fast, industry-leading UI automation and over 3,000 out-of-the-box connectors and integrations that work directly with the tools your employees using Macs utilize every day, including:

  • Apple-native apps like Numbers, Pages, Keynote, Mail, Notes, and Calendar

  • Microsoft Office for macOS (Excel, Word)

  • Java-based applications such as SAP Java GUI

Whether finance is working in Numbers, marketing is building content in Keynote, or operations is using Java-based tools, your Mac users can now build, test, and run automations right on their devices.

Start fast with UiPath Studio Web

Studio Web makes getting started with Mac automation simple: no installation required. Just open a browser (Safari works great), and you’re ready to go.

With UiPath Studio Web, users can:

  • Build automations using a no-code interface—across applications they use every day

  • Run automations across macOS, Windows, and Linux

  • Get new features automatically as part of UiPath Automation Cloud™ updates

Built for the enterprise: secure, scalable, reliable

UiPath macOS automation comes enterprise ready. That means built-in security, governance, and reliability features designed for real-world environments, like:

  • Role-based access control and secure credential storage

  • Centralized policy enforcement via UiPath Automation Ops

  • Local execution and debugging for compliance

  • Intelligent automation healing to keep processes running

This is more than just cross-platform automation—it’s a full suite of enterprise Mac automation tools powered by the UiPath Platform™ that puts security first and scales with your needs.

What it looks like in the real world

Let’s say your finance team is using macOS. With UiPath, they can automate an entire invoice process end to end, right on the Mac.

  • Launch SAP Java GUI to extract key invoice data

  • Log the data into Apple Numbers or Excel for Mac

  • Create a summary report or invoice and send it via Mail or Outlook for Mac

No handoffs. No emulators. Just fast, secure Mac desktop automation running natively.

And that’s just one example. You can automate a wide range of use cases across tools like Word, Numbers, Notes, and more: wherever your teams using Mac work, UiPath meets them there.

No more exceptions

Before, automating on macOS meant trade-offs: either you limited access to only browser workflows, forced users onto virtual environments, or excluded entire teams from automation initiatives.

With UiPath, that’s no longer necessary.

MacOS isn’t an afterthought anymore. It’s part of your automation strategy.
