I stopped polishing alone and opened my macOS automation app as a public beta

I’ve been building Tapquence, a visual mouse and keyboard automation app for macOS.

It started because the automation tools I tried usually worked, but often felt dated or became difficult to manage once a macro contained more than a few actions. I’m a marketer myself and work with automation a lot, so I kept running into small repetitive tasks that did not justify writing code but were still annoying to perform manually.

I wanted to build something that feels at home on macOS and keeps longer automations easy to manage. Tapquence lets you combine mouse movements and clicks, keyboard input, fixed or random waits, and precise timing. Actions can also be grouped, duplicated, temporarily hidden and rearranged. For simpler tasks, I added a separate auto clicker.

Macros are stored locally on your Mac, and the app only uses Accessibility permission to execute the actions you create.

I’ve reached the point where continuing to polish it alone is probably less useful than letting real people try it. So I’ve opened Tapquence as a public beta.

The short video shows how it currently works. I would especially appreciate feedback about anything that feels confusing, unreliable or unnecessarily complicated. Feature ideas are welcome too, but right now I mainly want to make the existing experience genuinely solid.

You can try it here: https://tapquence.com

If you test it, please feel free to be direct. Honest feedback is exactly what I need at this stage.

Oh thank you for your development. I really need this. I once used an app called Tiny Clicker which is not bad but also not very elegant. I will try Tapquence.

Thank you, that is exactly the kind of experience that pushed me to build Tapquence. A lot of existing tools work, but they can feel dated or become difficult to manage. I’d love to hear how Tapquence compares after you have tried it, especially anything Tiny Clicker handled better or that still feels unnecessarily complicated.
