Remaku
Remaku is a free, open-source visual macro tool for automating desktop tasks on Windows without code.
What Remaku is
Remaku is a free, open-source visual macro tool for automating desktop tasks on Windows without code. Its editor builds workflows from screenshots, keyboard and mouse actions, waits, loops, and branches in a point-and-click tree with 15 step types. Users can reorder steps, add notes, define reusable variables, or record keyboard and mouse actions live. At runtime, Remaku can match captured screen areas, wait for images, branch on matches, click an image’s center, and adjust recognition confidence; Gaming Mode adds resolution scaling. It can read numbers from a screen area for branching, waiting, or repeating. Macros can press keys, type Unicode, and click, move, or scroll the mouse, with a global hotkey for each macro. The app can send input to a target window in the background, find it again if reopened, and place overlays and selectors across displays. Macros export as ZIP files with template images. Remaku is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and is in active beta, with possible breaking changes; its project warns against production use. The Windows executable is unsigned, so SmartScreen may show a first-run warning.
