What's New in AutoClick Pro

Every release and what it added. Updates install automatically through Steam on Windows, SteamOS, and Linux.

Version 1.5.0 · October 2026 (current)

• Image detection. A new Images tab: capture a small picture of anything on screen (a button, an icon, a marker) and every tool can react to it. Scripts get waitimage, clickimage, ifimage, movetoimage and friends; the Auto Clicker can click only while an image is on screen, or click on the image wherever it is; the Macro Editor gets a "Wait for Image" step. The screen freezes while you drag out the capture, with a magnifier, so a moving game is as easy to capture as a still one. Per-image colour tolerance, minimum match, optional scale search, click point and search area, and a Test button that tells you where it matched and how well.
• Pixel colour checks. The cheap version: waitpixel, ifpixel and friends, a pixel condition for the Auto Clicker, a "Wait for Pixel" step in the Macro Editor, and a colour tool that reads a pixel's position and colour. waitchange waits for anything in an area to change: the easiest "wait for the loading screen to finish".
• Image Trigger. A fourth mapper: when an image appears (or a pixel takes a colour), run an Auto Clicker, Macro or Script profile, or click the match, while whatever else is running carries on. Fires once when it appears, with a cooldown.
• A run log on the Script tab shows what every image and pixel command saw: where it found things, how close the nearest area came when it didn't, the colour a pixel actually had.
• Images export and import as a zip (with any scripts, profiles and macros that use them), and are portable between Windows and Linux. On Wayland, screen reading uses the same screen-sharing permission as cursor tracking; nothing is recorded or stored except the images you capture.
• A sidebar. The tabs have moved from a strip across the top to a list on the left, in three groups: Tools (Auto Clicker, Macro Recorder, Script), Triggers (the three mappers and the Image Trigger) and Library (Images). Nothing inside the tabs has moved; the pages just get the strip's height back.
• Image Trigger start and stop. Start / Stop buttons and a status line replace the Enable checkbox, it has its own hotkey (F10 by default, after the Script's F9), the tray menu starts and stops it, and Emergency Stop stops it along with everything else. It starts stopped every time the app opens.
• Better matching. A search takes the best match on screen rather than the first spot that scraped past the minimum, scores an image's edges and lettering separately so a plain patch of screen or a look-alike button can't pass for it, and says "not found" instead of guessing. Searches take a few milliseconds, and the Image Trigger no longer slows the app down while it watches.
• Leaving a mapper or the Image Trigger page with unsaved bindings now asks whether to save them, as the tool pages already did, and closing the app lists them too.
• Start the program with -log to turn on debug logging for that session, written next to the program.

Version 1.4.0 · September 2026

• Macro Editor. Press Edit on the Macro Recorder tab to open a recording as a list of actions (clicks, key presses, mouse paths) and fine-tune it: set the gap before any action to the millisecond, change how long a key or button is held, move a click (type the position or pick it on screen), change the key, and add, duplicate or delete steps. Preview plays your edits with exactly the same timing as normal playback and highlights each action as it plays. Undo/Redo, Save as New for making variations, and a help page of its own. Record a rough version by hand, then tighten the timing until it's perfect.
• Simplify or remove mouse paths in one click, so a menu-driven recording becomes just its clicks and key presses.
• Cleaner recordings. On Linux and SteamOS the Record and Emergency Stop hotkeys are no longer captured when you use them to stop a recording (the editor offers to remove them from older recordings). On Windows, Enter is no longer recorded twice.
• No more stuck keys. A key that a macro or script still holds when it ends, or is stopped, is now released.
• More precise playback. On Windows, actions after a long pause no longer fire late: every action plays within about a millisecond of its time, and a click can no longer turn into a small drag toward the next movement.
• More accurate on Wayland and SteamOS. Clicks, macros and scripts use the real screen size from the moment the app starts, and again after docking or a resolution change. The first click after a long mouse move lands on target, starting the Auto Clicker no longer pulls the cursor to the middle of the screen, and Pick works on every monitor.
• Every click and key press recorded. Very short clicks and key taps, fast double clicks and quick repeats of one key are recorded as they happened, so playback has them too, and on Wayland a recording that can't see your mouse says so instead of leaving the clicks out.
• Plug in devices any time. A keyboard or mouse connected after the app started now works for hotkeys, the mappers and recording, and unplugging one no longer keeps a CPU core busy.
• Safer names and saves. Profile, macro, script and mapping names are checked so they are saved exactly as typed on both Windows and Linux, and closing the app or a crash during a save can no longer leave a half-written file.
• Scripts. wait understands unit words (5sec, 10mins, 2 hours), a missing label or an unclosed loop is reported while you write the script, and type handles quotes and comments correctly.
• Windows. The Auto Clicker, Pick and scripts can target monitors to the left of or above the main screen, capital letters in scripts work, a mapped mouse side button no longer also goes back or forward, keys and buttons the app takes over are taken press and release together, and the Controller Mapper follows a controller connected after the app started.
• Faster hotkeys on X11 Linux. Hotkeys and the keyboard and mouse mappers react within a millisecond instead of up to 10 ms, and the app uses less CPU while idle.
• Starts for every Windows account. User names with letters outside ASCII (José, Müller) crashed the app at startup; macros now save and load under any name.
• Release-testing fixes. The Emergency Stop key no longer trips when a script or macro presses it itself; on Windows, hotkeys and the mappers react to keys that other software sends (Steam Input's keyboard emulation) as they do on Linux; on Linux, dropdowns on a scrolled tab no longer jump the page; the Macro Editor keeps a new press out of a hold of the same key, and Save as New during a preview still offers to save the original; closing the app names any unsaved profiles; the Help window reopens after a stay in the tray; and an old relative-motion recording no longer moves the cursor too far when played on Windows.
• Many smaller fixes, including Emergency Stop letting go of keys held by controller bindings, hotkeys that no longer repeat while held down, a working debug log, and a list of the open-source libraries the app uses. The full list is in the app's changelog.

Version 1.3.1 · September 2026

• Hold controller buttons. A controller button mapped to a key or mouse button now holds it down for as long as you hold the button, so a held key repeats exactly like one held on the keyboard, and a held mouse button drags or keeps firing. A held input is always let go when the button is released, the mapper is disabled, or the controller is unplugged or switched.
• Linux: starts without the Steam Linux Runtime. Launched from Steam, the app now runs on your own system's libraries, so a missing or broken runtime download can no longer stop it from starting. Needs a distribution from 2022 or later.

Version 1.3.0 · August 2026

• One app for Windows and SteamOS. Both editions are now built with the same interface toolkit, so they look and behave identically. Every panel, button and hotkey stays where it was, and every profile, macro, script and mapping you saved loads unchanged.
• Dedicated Stop buttons beside the Auto Clicker, macro recording, macro playback and script buttons.
• Fixes: script comments at the end of a line now work; the Stop hotkey interrupts a script's type command immediately; wait 2.5s works in every system language; mapper-started macros play at their own saved speed; profiles copied between Windows and SteamOS load correctly both ways; and the Wayland setup dialog has its full layout back.

Version 1.2.1 · July 2026

• Macro playback accuracy on Wayland and SteamOS. Macros recorded in the legacy relative-motion mode drifted away from the path they were taught. After each click, key press, or scroll the playback engine looked up the wrong cursor position, so the pointer fell further behind with every one of them: a long macro that mixed movement with clicking could end up clicking nowhere near the target. Fixed.
• Scripts with non-English characters. Text typed through the type command outside plain ASCII (accented letters, curly quotes, emoji) is now parsed correctly on both editions. Such lines previously went through a text routine that is only defined for ASCII, which could mis-split a line or reject a valid command depending on the system's language settings.
• Windows: no more hang on exit. Closing the app could occasionally leave AutoClickPro.exe running in the background and holding the global hotkeys. The keyboard-hook thread is now shut down reliably.
• Linux: input-device handling hardened so repeated device scans cannot leak file handles.

Version 1.2.0 · July 2026

• Controller Mapper. A new tab that binds gamepad buttons to any saved auto clicker, macro, or script profile. Adding a mapping asks you to press the button you want, so there's no guessing at button names. A button can also send a real mouse click or key press instead of running a profile. Pick which controller to use from a dropdown; new pads appear automatically when plugged in. Xbox-style pads and classic DirectInput pads both work.
• Stick mouse control. Move the cursor with the left or right analog stick, with sensitivity and deadzone sliders plus independent Invert X and Invert Y options. Works alongside the button mappings.
• Background / tray mode. On Windows, a notification-area icon with show/hide, quick mapper toggles, Minimize to tray, and Start minimized. On Linux, a tray icon on desktops that support one (KDE, or GNOME with the AppIndicator extension) plus a Start minimized option. Global hotkeys and armed mappers keep working while the window is hidden.
• Monitor access helper (SteamOS / KDE). A new Adjust Monitor Access button explains and manages the KDE permission the app uses to track the real cursor position for pixel-accurate recording, including the case where KDE silently reuses a remembered permission.

Version 1.1.0 · June 2026

• Mouse Mapper. Map your mouse's extra side buttons to any saved clicker, macro, or script profile. Press once to start, again to stop. Whole sets of bindings save as named mapping profiles, one per game or app.
• Keyboard Mapper. The same idea for keys: bind F1 to F12 or A to Z to any saved profile, with as many rows as you need.
• Pause and resume. A new global hotkey (F1 by default) pauses whatever is running (the clicker, a macro, or a script) and resumes it exactly where it left off, with nothing left stuck down.

Version 1.0.0 · June 2026

The initial release on Steam, native on Windows 10/11, SteamOS, and Linux (X11 and Wayland):

• Auto Clicker. Intervals from 1 ms to 60 s or randomized between a min and max, left/right/middle button, single or double click, click at the cursor or a picked fixed position with optional random offset, and stop after a set number of clicks.
• Macro Recorder. Records real mouse movement, clicks, scrolling, and keyboard input with original timing. Plays back at 0.1× to 10×, once, N times, or looped.
• Scripting. A readable 16-command automation language with a built-in command reference and worked examples.
• Global hotkeys. Configurable hotkeys for every tool, including an Emergency Stop that halts everything and releases held inputs.
• Profiles. Unlimited named profiles for clicker configs, macros, and scripts, interchangeable between the Windows and Linux editions.
• Quality of life. UI scaling from 100% to 200%, built-in Quick Help, a feedback button, and a one-time Wayland Setup wizard for Linux permissions.
