TinyTask
TinyTask records mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and the timing between them, then replays those actions.
What TinyTask is
TinyTask records mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and the timing between them, then replays those actions. It is a Windows utility intended for repetitive chores such as data entry, multi-step processes in slow software, testing, and file or folder tasks. Playback speed is adjustable, and recordings can run a fixed number of times or loop continuously. A recorded macro can also be compiled into a standalone Windows executable. The program is described as a 36 KB portable app that needs no scripting or installer; version 1.77 is listed as a 36,352-byte Windows program. TinyTask is free for personal use, with a listed plan of no cost and no paid tier or trial stated. It has no conditions, branching, screen recognition, editing, or built-in scheduling. The site says it has not been rebuilt in years and is no longer being developed, with no one fixing bugs, adding features, or answering questions. Download pages publish file sizes and SHA-256 checksums for EXE and ZIP files.

Verdict
