Ghost Macro Recorder records your clicks and keystrokes in one app, then replays them inside that window while your own mouse and keyboard stay free for other work.

The Ghost Macro Recorder window: record, play and stop buttons, a timecode, the live tape of clicks and keys, the target app, the step list and the settings

How it works

Three steps, then let it run. Your mouse never moves and your typing never lands in the wrong window.

1

Pick the app

Choose a window from the list, press Ctrl Alt T inside it, or let Ghost record whatever you click.

2

Record it once

Press F9 and do the job. Clicks, keys and scrolls appear on the live tape and in the step list.

3

Play in the background

Press F10. Ghost replays the steps inside that app, as often or as long as you choose.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built for repetitive work in one window: data entry, form filling, testing, idle tasks in apps that need the same clicks every day.

Background play

Input goes straight to the target window. Keep using your PC.

One app only

Record just the chosen window; clicks elsewhere are ignored.

Repeat or timer

3 times, forever, or for exactly 1 minute, 5 minutes or 1 hour.

Countdown & humanize

A 3 or 5 second start, and small random pauses so runs vary.

Global hotkeys

Record, play, stop and target from anywhere. Change any key.

Step editor

See every step, delete what you don't need, trim mouse moves.

Tray & startup

Runs by the clock, starts with Windows, stays on top if you like.

Private by design

No telemetry, no account. Password fields are never recorded.

Why "Ghost"?

Most macro tools take over your computer while they run. Ghost works out of sight.
