Automate anything
with one keystroke.

MacroKey records your keyboard and mouse, chains the steps into powerful macros, and fires them from a global hotkey — all from a lightweight app that lives quietly in your system tray.

Free & portable Single .exe — no installer Runs locally, always

Fires macros into any app on your desktop

VS Code Excel Photoshop OBS Studio Chrome Any game
Everything you need

A complete automation toolkit

From a two-key text expander to a frame-perfect input sequence — MacroKey scales from the simple to the serious.

Visual macro builder

Drag steps into place, tweak each one, and preview the sequence. No scripting required — but the depth is there when you want it.

Keys Mouse Delays Loops

Global hotkeys

Assign any key combination — including modifier stacks and mouse buttons — and trigger a macro from anywhere in Windows.

Ctrl+ Alt+ S → Insert signature

Keyboard actions

Press, hold, release, or type full strings. Every key, every modifier.

Mouse control

Move, click, double-click, scroll and drag with pixel precision.

Precise timing

Millisecond delays and repeat blocks for sequences that need rhythm.

Profiles & app scoping

Group macros into profiles and bind them to a specific application, so “F5” means one thing in your editor and another in a game.

Lives in your tray

MacroKey starts with Windows, hides itself, and runs from the system tray. Closing the window never stops your macros.

Record & replay

Record once. Replay forever.

Capture a sequence of keys and clicks exactly as you perform them, then clean it up in the editor. Reorder steps, adjust delays, and turn a fiddly ten-step routine into a single reliable action.

  • Live capture of keys, clicks, moves and scrolls
  • Editable step list with drag-to-reorder
  • Human-readable summary of every step
Triggers

Triggers that fit your hands.

Every macro gets a global hotkey and a run mode. Fire it once, toggle it on and off, or hold to repeat — perfect for auto-clickers, text expanders and multi-step shortcuts alike.

Closing the window simply hides it — MacroKey keeps running from the system tray so your macros stay live. To fully quit, right-click the tray icon and choose Quit.
If you enable “Start with Windows,” MacroKey launches into the tray at login with no visible window. You can toggle this from the tray menu or Settings at any time.
Never. There is no account, no cloud and no telemetry. All profiles and macros are stored locally. See the privacy page for details.
