About MacroRecorder

It can also extract on-screen text with OCR, read barcode and QR code data, extract text from webpages, automate screenshots, and work with external AI models including self-hosted options. Team sharing and hotkey or text-shortcut triggers are described as using the separate PhraseExpress product.

MacroRecorder FAQ
How do I create and replay a macro?
Press Record and perform the mouse and keyboard actions, press Stop to review and edit in the built-in macro editor, then press Play to repeat it as needed.
Do I need to know programming to use it?
No. The site describes it as no-code automation where tasks are performed through the interface without learning a scripting language.
How does playback find where to click?
It uses the visual area around the recorded click rather than fixed coordinates, scans the desktop for that area, and pauses until the target is found.
