Recipe Robot is the easiest way to create new AutoPkg recipes for simple Mac apps. It consists of two components:

• A Python script that takes various types of input and automatically outputs AutoPkg recipes.

• A native Mac app that puts a friendly face on the Python script and makes it as simple as dragging and dropping.
