Getting started

Clicking at a set pace

Everything for this is in the main window, from top to bottom.

1. Set the click interval

   Under Click interval, enter the time between two clicks in hours, mins, secs and milliseconds. The shortest is 1 millisecond and the longest is 24 hours.

2. Choose the button

   Under Click options, set Mouse button: to Left, Right or Middle, andClick type: to Single or Double.

3. Choose how many clicks

   Under Click repeat, choose Repeat with a number from 1 to 9,999,999, orRepeat until stopped. A double click counts as one.

4. Choose where it clicks

   Under Cursor position, Current location clicks wherever the pointer is. To click one spot every time, press Pick location. The screen dims. Click the spot you want, or press Esc to cancel. Auto Clicker fills in X and Y and selects that spot for you.

5. Press F6 to start

   Or press Start (F6). Press F6 again, or Stop (F6), to stop.F6 works while another program is in front.

Your settings are saved, and they are there the next time you open Auto Clicker. To use another key thanF6, press Hotkey setting, then Start / Stop, then the new key, and press Ok.

Random offset + - is optional. When it is ticked, each gap between clicks is made longer or shorter by a random amount, up to the number of milliseconds you enter.

Recording and playing back

You do your clicks once, and Auto Clicker repeats them in the same places with the same pauses.

1. Open the Record & Playback window

   Press Record & Playback in the main window. A second small window opens. It has a green button to play, a red button to record, and a line of text that says what it is doing.

2. Press the red button to record

   Or press Ctrl+3. Recording starts at once, with no countdown. The line reads "Recording. Press Ctrl+3 to finish."

3. Do your clicks

   Click as you normally would. Your clicks still reach the other programs while Auto Clicker records.

4. Press Ctrl+3 to stop recording

   Or press the red button again, which now shows a square. The line then says what was kept, for example "Recorded: 3 clicks, 5 seconds."

5. Press the green button to play

   Or press Ctrl+1. The pointer moves by itself and clicks where you clicked. PressCtrl+1 again, or the square, to stop it.

Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+3 work only while the Record & Playback window is open. It can be minimised. To change these two keys, open Options, Settings,Hotkeys in that window.

To play the recording more than once, or faster or slower, seeRepeating a playback.

What a recording keeps

• Auto Clicker keeps one recording, and it is still there after a restart. A new recording takes its place only if something was recorded.
• Ending with Ctrl+3 keeps the whole recording. Ending with the mouse leaves out the trip to the square button at the end.
• Three choices in Options, Recording, Options say what is kept: Mouse click, Mouse move and Delay. All three are ticked at first. They apply to the next recording.
• A recording stops by itself after 60 minutes.
• The keyboard, the mouse wheel and the extra buttons some mice have are never recorded. Clicks on Auto Clicker's own windows are not recorded either.
• A playback clicks the same places on the screen. If a window has moved or closed since you recorded, the clicks land on whatever is there now.

Every way to stop

• The hotkey. F6 stops the clicking, Ctrl+1 stops a playback andCtrl+3 ends a recording. They work from any program, so you don't need the mouse.
• The buttons. Stop (F6) in the main window, or the square in the Record & Playback window.
• The icon by the clock. Right-click it and choose Stop clicking,Stop recording or Stop playback. Quit stops everything and closes Auto Clicker. On Windows 11 the icon may be behind the small arrow beside the clock.
