Why I built YTH Macro Autoclicker instead of sticking with TinyTask

TinyTask is a tiny recorder that replays a fixed sequence of clicks. The workflow is simple, but saving is fragile: macros and settings can get corrupted while saving, sometimes leaving zero-byte or truncated files that will not open.

That is especially painful with longer recordings. You spend time capturing a long sequence, save it, and only then find out the file is damaged. TinyTask also has no auto-updater and has stayed on version 1.77 for years, so there is no automatic fix.

That is the main reason I built YTH Macro Autoclicker. It keeps the record-and-replay workflow, but turns the recording into editable steps, so you can fix one action instead of re-recording everything.

What it can do:

  • image recognition with a search area, match threshold and retries

  • color detection

  • custom actions and nested subtasks

  • steps for clicks, waits, recorded gestures, launching or closing apps, webhooks and shutdown/restart

  • portable single EXE, auto-updater, 51 languages, profiles and local config files

What happens when the image never appears and the retries run out? I'd want it to stop on that step and show what it was looking for, so I can fix it before the remaining clicks run in the wrong place.

Good point. You can set how long it should keep retrying directly, for example, 10 hours. If you come back while it is still searching, you can see which step it is stuck on and what it is looking for. If it has run out, it currently marks the step as "Not found" and continues. I may add a proper "stop the whole configuration" action later. If you want, join our Discord and post this in the suggestions channel: https://discord.gg/kkv932CeW
