Some repetitive mouse tasks need to start later, run for a limited time, or stop immediately if the screen changes. Free Auto Clicker 8.0.0 combines scheduled starts, configurable hotkeys, start delays, and explicit safety limits so permitted Windows automation remains under your control.

Schedule a task instead of waiting at the keyboard
The scheduling controls let you choose when a saved task should begin. This can be useful for a local presentation, a test procedure, or another workflow you own and are authorized to automate.
- Configure and test the click point or multi-point sequence.
- Set the schedule or start delay.
- Add a maximum runtime or click count.
- Confirm the target window and current screen state.
- Keep the emergency stop available.
Use the three levels of control
Free Auto Clicker separates normal task control from emergency stopping:
- F6 starts the configured task by default.
- F7 requests a normal stop by default.
- F8 is the always-available emergency stop.
The normal start and stop hotkeys can be customized. The emergency stop remains available so you have a predictable way to halt automation.
Why single-instance protection matters
Two copies of an auto clicker can compete for the same global hotkeys and create confusing task state. Version 8.0.0 allows only one running instance. Launching the application again restores the existing window instead of creating another hotkey owner.
Set limits before starting
A schedule answers when to begin; safety limits answer when to stop. Use both:
- Maximum runtime prevents a task from running indefinitely.
- Maximum click count limits the number of actions.
- Start delay gives you time to focus the right application.
- Controlled timing and position variation can avoid a mechanically identical interval where a small permitted variation is useful.
- Restore cursor returns the pointer after a configured action.
Add an after-click keyboard action
A click point can optionally be followed by a keyboard action. Use this only when the target application is clearly identified and focused. Test the action with non-critical data before including it in a scheduled workflow.
Review run history
The history view records completed runs and can export CSV data. This helps you review your own automation activity and troubleshoot profiles that need longer delays or stricter stop limits.
Responsible scheduling
Do not schedule an auto clicker to bypass a site’s access controls, security checks, anti-cheat protections, rate limits, or terms of service. Scheduling does not make an otherwise prohibited workflow acceptable. Keep the computer supervised when the task could change or delete important information.
