Macro Recorder

A simple desktop app that lets you record and replay mouse and keyboard actions on your computer.

What does it do?

This app helps you:

  • Record mouse clicks and keyboard inputs
  • Play them back exactly as you recorded them
  • Save your macros to files so you can use them later
  • Load your saved macros whenever you need them

Perfect for automating repetitive tasks, creating demos, or testing applications without writing a single line of code.
