Fake overview
Fake is a new browser for OS X that makes web automation simple. Fake allows you to drag discrete browser actions into a graphical workflow that can be run again and again without human interaction. The Fake workflows you create can be saved, reopened, and shared. Inspired by Apple's Automator application, Fake looks like a combination of Safari and Automator, and allows you to run (and re-run) "fake" interactions with the web.
Power-users will love Fake for automating tedious web tasks like filling out lengthy forms and capturing screenshots. Developers can use Fake for graphically configuring automated tests for their webapps, including assertions. All of Fake's automation features are powered by OS X's native scripting tool, AppleScript, which means Fake can be used to incorporate web automation into many other OS X scripting tasks.
Fake's browser component is based on the same open source technology behind the popular OS X site-specific browser, Fluid. Fake's proprietary secret sauce is in its web automation capabilities: the Action library, and Workflow side pane.

Version: 1.8.5
version 1.8.5 won´t run on PPC as stated in the requirements.
Great software version 1.8.4.

Very good software, very intuitive, very polished. Just the way a Macintosh software should be written. And software like this is the reason I still love Mac.
But the best of all, the developer himself is very responsive to support questions!

Before I spend $30 on this, it has to have following:
1. More meaningful trial process. Sorry, but no saving and 8 action limit does not allow me to test your software to the point where I can purchase it.
2. An ability to add a Pop-up in the beginning of a workflow, where I can enter variables that can be used later in the workflow. I don't want to edit the workflow to enter these variables every time I run it.
3. Ability to mask the password that will be entered into the web forms. Sorry, but I am not entering my password into the workflow in clear text or stopping workflow to wait fot me to enter the password. That is not something I would call automation.

Extremely polished interface, very easy to use, and incredibly useful for automating functional and integration tests of web apps - in a visual way, and regardless of the language and framework(s) used.
It loses half a star for me because of pricing: $30 is too much for a single-purpose app such as this. Consider, for instance, that many developer 'helper' tools in the App Store cost below $10, and that some of the automation features included here are available for free in other packages.
For $5, I'd buy it, and make it part of my workflow.

I can't see the advantage above Free Firefox AddOn iMacros, I actually think iMacros is easier to use, but in both of them they miss OCR and that's what I need most for completely overcome web automation, but both lack this feature.
