GhostMouse: Automated Mouse Movement & Clicking Software

Automate repetitive tasks with GhostMouse, a software that records and plays back mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes.

What is GhostMouse?

GhostMouse is a Windows application that enables users to automate mouse movements, clicks, and typing. It works by recording the physical mouse movements, mouse clicks, and keyboard inputs as the user performs them. The recorded actions can then be played back later to automate repetitive tasks.

Some key features of GhostMouse include:

  • Recording and playback of mouse actions including movement, clicks, double-clicks, right-clicks, drag and drop
  • Recording and playback of keyboard inputs including text typing, hotkeys, key combinations
  • Support for scheduling automated playback of recordings using the Windows Task Scheduler
  • Script editing allows advanced customization and parameterization of recordings
  • Portable version available that can run directly from a USB drive without needing installation

GhostMouse aims to simplify process automation and reduce repetitive strain injuries (RSI). It is useful for automating common desktop tasks in business applications, software testing scenarios, and PC gaming. Compared to macro recorders in some software like MS Office, GhostMouse works at the OS level so can automate actions across different programs.
