What is OculiX?

OculiX is a visual automation IDE for everyone. It drives any graphical interface by what it looks like — not by accessibility hooks, DOM selectors, or fragile XPaths. You point at what you see on screen, OculiX does the rest.

You don’t need to be a developer to use it. If you can take a screenshot, you can write your first OculiX script. If you are a developer, you get a full scripting environment with Python syntax and JVM interop on top.

Forked from the long-standing SikuliX project — and built in the same spirit: visual automation should be simple, accessible, and yours.

Pixel-perfect matching

Find any region of any window by sample image. Resolution-aware, similarity-tunable, sub-pixel reliable.

OCR out of the box

Tesseract is embedded via Legerix — no manual install. PaddleOCR available as an opt-in HTTP server for high-accuracy CJK and complex layouts.

Cross-platform

Windows, macOS, Linux. One script runs everywhere — no platform-specific selectors.

Jython scripting

Python 2.7 syntax with full JVM interop. Drop-in compatible with legacy SikuliX scripts.

Vision pipeline

Modern computer-vision primitives (template, feature, contour) composable from the IDE or from code.

VNC · SSH · Android

Drive remote machines over VNC, open SSH tunnels from Java with zero external deps, control Android phones over ADB — all from the same API.

What people do with OculiX

OculiX isn’t built for one use case — it’s built for any repetitive thing you do on a screen.

Automate tedious workflows

Export, convert, rename, fill the same form a hundred times. OculiX clicks where you’d click, types what you’d type.

Record demos & tutorials

Reproduce the same on-screen sequence as many times as you need — for product demos, training videos, or onboarding decks.

Help people with accessibility needs

Trigger custom workflows in any app from a single shortcut. No accessibility API required.

Migrate or mass-edit data

Drive legacy software that has no API or CLI. If a human can click through it, OculiX can too.

Test apps the way users see them

QA teams use OculiX too — visual regression, smoke tests, end-to-end flows. It’s not the only thing it’s built for, but it’s a great fit when you want to test what users actually see.

Build your own RPA bot

No vendor-lock-in, no SaaS subscription, no per-bot fee. Your script runs on your machine, period.

How it compares

OculiX sits in the process automation space alongside RPA and visual automation tools. Here’s how it lines up with two well-known commercial alternatives.

Capability	OculiX	UiPath	Eggplant
License & cost	MIT — free forever	Commercial · per-bot / per-user	Commercial · enterprise license
Self-hosted, fully local	100 % local, no cloud needed	Hybrid (Studio local, Orchestrator cloud)	On-prem available
Cross-platform	Windows · macOS · Linux	Studio is Windows-only	Windows · macOS · Linux
Approach	Pure visual — sees the screen	UI selectors (UIA / HTML) + visual fallback	Visual + IDE
Embedded OCR	Tesseract bundled	Multiple providers via marketplace	Built-in
Bundled IDE	Yes	Yes (Studio)	Yes
Scripting language	Jython (Python 2.7 + JVM)	VB.NET · C# · Python (limited)	SenseTalk
Best fit	Anyone — from non-tech users to enterprise teams	Enterprise RPA at scale	Visual automation & test for regulated industries

Comparison based on each vendor’s public documentation as of 2026. OculiX is independent and unaffiliated with UiPath (UiPath, Inc.) or Eggplant (Keysight Technologies).
