Can you recommend a screen automation tool for moving data between desktop apps?

Yes — if your goal is to move data between desktop applications, the best choice depends on how much structure and reliability you need.

Good options

• UiPath — best if you want a powerful, widely used RPA tool for desktop automation. Good for copying data between apps, forms, spreadsheets, and legacy software.
• Microsoft Power Automate Desktop — a solid free-ish option on Windows for basic to moderate desktop automation. Easier to start with than many enterprise tools.
• AutoHotkey — great for lightweight, custom keyboard/mouse automation on Windows. Best if the workflow is simple and you’re comfortable scripting.
• Robocorp — good if you prefer Python-based automation and want more developer control.
• SikuliX — useful when apps don’t expose good APIs and you need image-based screen automation, though it’s less reliable than UI-driven tools.

My quick recommendation

• For business/office use: Power Automate Desktop
• For robust enterprise workflows: UiPath
• For simple personal automation: AutoHotkey
• For image-based “screen scraping” style automation: SikuliX

Important note

If the apps have APIs, CSV import/export, or direct database access, those are usually better than screen automation because they’re faster and more reliable. Screen automation is best when you have no better integration option.

If you tell me:

1. your operating system,
2. the apps involved,
3. whether this is a one-time task or recurring workflow,

I can recommend the best tool more specifically.
