Mouse Keys Record ReplayFrequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions people ask most about recording and replaying the mouse and keyboard.
Is there a TinyTask for Mac or Linux?
TinyTask itself is Windows only. Mouse Keys Record Replay is a free recorder in the same simple spirit that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux (X11). It is not affiliated with TinyTask.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free and open source under the MIT license. There is no account, no trial and no ads.
Is it safe?
The full source is public on GitHub. Updates install only after an ed25519 signature check, so a tampered or incomplete file is never installed. The app sends nothing about you.
How do I stop a loop?
Move the mouse or press any key. Playback stops immediately, whether it is playing once or looping.
What are the default shortcuts?
On Windows and Linux: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F1 to record or stop, F2 to play once and F3 to loop, with the same modifiers. On macOS: Cmd + Option + Shift with F1, F2 and F3. You can change them in Settings.
What does Random timing do?
When it is on, each click and key press lands up to half a second earlier or later than recorded, with new timing on every pass. Positions, keys, hold lengths and order stay the same.
Does it work with several monitors?
Yes. It records across all your displays, and the status card appears on every screen at once.
Where are my recordings stored?
On your own computer, in the app settings folder. It keeps one recording, and a new one replaces it.
Can I edit a recording?
No. There is no editor. To change a recording, record it again.
Does it support Wayland?
No. On Linux it needs an X11 session.
Why does macOS ask for permissions?
Recording and replaying input needs Accessibility and Input Monitoring access. macOS asks once, and you allow it in System Settings, Privacy and Security.
Does it collect data?
No. The only network call the app makes is the update check to GitHub. The website sets no cookies and runs no analytics.
