How to Record Mouse Clicks on Windows 11

Windows 11 has no built-in way to record what your mouse does and play it back. Here is how to do it in about two minutes with a free tool, without writing a single line of script.

Why Windows 11 cannot do this on its own

Windows ships with Steps Recorder, and people often try it first. It is not a macro tool: it takes screenshots of what you clicked so you can send them to support, and it cannot replay anything. Task Scheduler runs programs at a set time, but it has no idea where your mouse is or what you typed.

So if you want the computer to repeat a sequence of clicks and keystrokes, you need a separate recorder. The good news is that it is a tiny program, it needs no admin rights, and it does not change anything in Windows.

Record and replay in five steps

Download and unpack. Grab the archive below and unzip it anywhere — Desktop is fine. There is no installer, the program runs straight from the folder.
Press Record. The window minimises and the recorder starts watching. Every click, every mouse movement and every key you press is written down with the exact timing.
Do the thing once. Click through the sequence you want repeated at your normal speed. Do not rush: the recorder keeps the pauses, and those pauses are often what makes the replay work.
Press Stop. Use the hotkey so you do not add a stray click at the end. The recording is now in memory and ready.
Press Play. The same actions run again, in the same order, with the same timing. Set the repeat count if you want it to loop.

What people actually use it for

Data entry is the most common one: the same twenty clicks across a form, a hundred times a day. Record it once, and the rest of the day is one keypress.

Testing comes second. If you are checking whether a fix worked, you need to reproduce the same steps exactly, and a human never clicks the same way twice.

In games it is used for the repetitive parts — crafting, farming, anything where you press the same three keys for an hour. Because the recorder works at the level of the mouse and keyboard, it works in fullscreen games where browser-based tools do nothing.

And plain everyday annoyances: renaming files, clicking through an installer on ten machines, filling the same fields in an old internal system that nobody will ever modernise.

Things that trip people up

Window position matters. A recording repeats coordinates, so if you move the window between recording and replay, the clicks land in the wrong place. Keep the window where it was, or maximise it both times.

Timing matters more than people expect. If the original run waited two seconds for a page to load, the replay waits two seconds as well — which is usually what you want. If the page is slower today, add a little padding while recording.

And always leave yourself a way out. Set a stop hotkey before you start a long loop, so you can break it without reaching for the power button.

Common questions

Does this work on Windows 10 as well?

Yes. It runs on Windows 10 and 11, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Nothing else needs to be installed.

Do I need admin rights?

No. It runs as a normal user and writes nothing to the registry.

Can it record keyboard input too, not just the mouse?

Yes — keystrokes and mouse are recorded together in one pass, with the timing between them preserved.

Will it work in a fullscreen game?

Yes, because it works at the input level rather than inside a browser tab.

Is there a time limit or a watermark?

No. It is free, there is no trial, no account and no watermark.

Where is the recording saved?

In the program folder, so you can copy a recording to another machine and run it there.
