What is Tinytask?

Vista Software created it as a utility program. It is extremely useful and completely free. It provides quick and easy access for automating playback or recording. TinyTask can be used to make a fool of a friend, or even create a.exe.

Only instead of just a video recording, the computer actually performs the same actions again: the mouse, the keyboard, and your screen go through the same task you already performed. You can play the recording back once, indefinitely, or for limited number of times.

It is a keyboard and mouse macro recorder. It allows you to replay everything you do with the mouse and any words you type while the program’s active. You can do this as many times you want. These files can be saved as .exe files.

It should be noted, however, that some mice may not record the movements of the mouse wheel. This is not a major issue as point-and-click can be used to do almost everything with the mouse wheel.

TinyTask’s uniqueness is its small size. It takes up very little space and doesn’t consume a lot of background resources. It performs a similar job to utility programs and is smaller than many of them. It’s very popular in the US but has also been used in Sweden and Turkey. It’s definitely worth checking it out!

There are two ways to work with this program. Either click on the record button on the TinyTask window or use the Ctrl-Shift-Alt-R shortcut to record. The software records what you do on the PC.

This application will record any mouse movements, keyboard taps, and mouse clicks. Then, any time you want to repeat the action, you can click once to repeat the command. The software repeats whatever you have programmed it to do.

You can playback the recording at any time. Play it back once or multiple times. Recordings get saved in a small compressed file, taking up minimal space on your PC.

One important point to keep in mind when using this software, is that you need to remember the position of each window.
