With the free automation tool<\/strong>, Tiny Task<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>you can easily record boring and repetitive actions as macros and then play them to repeat the actions at any time. This frees you up to focus on more essential tasks, which will help make you more productive. You can run your macros manually or set the time and date on which you want them to play, making the repetition of your tasks fully automated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest version of Tiny Task supports Microsoft Windows (the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) and the macOS and Linux operating systems. It not only performs small tasks you automate, but it\u2019s also tiny in the sense that it uses very little system space (about 35Kb).  Let’s take a look at how to use Tiny Task<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to use Tiny Task<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The application is a small, portable automation tool<\/strong> that\u2019s easy to use. The developer, Vista Software, created it as a freeware product<\/strong>, but donations for continued development are always very welcome. As soon as you open Tiny Task, you will see a tutorial that teaches you how to use it. Here are the basic steps.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Record<\/h2>\"How

    There are two ways to start recording in Tiny Task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Click on the<\/span> Rec<\/b> button in the Tiny Task window, or\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Use <\/span>Ctrl-Shift-Alt-R<\/b> to record,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The software will then record whatever you do on the PC, like mouse movements and clicks, keyboard taps, navigating to a website, or opening a folder or file. After recording what you do, it will create a macro. If you\u2019re happy with it, click <\/span>Stop <\/b>and then<\/span> Save<\/b>. Give your macro a name so you can find it easily later. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. Play<\/h2>\"How

    Whenever you want to repeat your recorded action, you click<\/span> Play <\/b>once. The Tiny Task software will redo the action you have programmed into it in precisely the same way as when you recorded it. Any repetitive tasks can be programmed and repeated whenever you want. Remember that when you play your recorded macro, you can set the speed of play, which is also a very useful feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/div>
