EC Autoclicker

The EC (Expertcoderz) Autoclicker is an open source, advanced autoclicking utility for Windows, written fully in AutoHotkey v2. It aims to provide a large variety of configurability and functionality never before seen in other general-purpose autoclicking tools.

Executables provided in Releases are compiled using Ahk2Exe, with UPX for compression.

Features

• Configurable click intervals (fixed or randomized)
• The ability to choose from whether to click the left/right/middle mouse button
• The ability to choose from performing single/double/triple clicks
• Definable pre-start delay
• Automatic stop after a specific number of clicks, when a specific duration has passed and/or at a specific time
• The ability to position the mouse cursor at a specific location every click or randomly within a specific boundary
• Configurable start/stop hotkeys (multiple supported)
• Profiles – saved and named sets of autoclicking configurations that can be created/renamed/deleted/exported and imported
• Persistent settings regarding the user interface
• Automatic update checking (optional)

Upcoming Features

• Mouse button hold-down
• "Simplified View" mode — only a list of profiles and the Start/Stop button are displayed
• The ability to select between different units (ms/s/min/h) for inputting duration values

Getting Started

Method 1: Compiled executable from Releases

(This is the most stable method and is recommended if you do not intend to modify EC Autoclicker's source.)

Prerequisites: None. EC Autoclicker is a portable standalone application—no installation is needed.

Download the executable file from the latest release and run it to use EC Autoclicker.

You may receive antivirus warnings when downloading/opening the EC Autoclicker executable because Expertcoderz doesn't have the resources to get them signed.

Method 2: Uncompiled AHK script (source)

Prerequisites: AutoHotkey v2 must be installed.

Note: In its uncompiled script form, EC Autoclicker is unable to check for newer versions online (neither automatically nor manually).

Download EC-Autoclicker.ahk from the main branch and run it with AHK v2 to use EC Autoclicker.

You will receive the latest (and possibly experimental) version of EC Autoclicker, regardless of whether or not it is the same as the one published in Releases.

Notes

• EC Autoclicker has been tested to work on Windows 7 and higher, where AutoHotkey v2 is supported. It is incompatible with Windows XP.
• In order for automated clicks to have effect on windows of elevated processes, EC Autoclicker must be run with administrative privileges.
• The X and Y mouse position coordinates displayed at the bottom right corner depend on the screen/window relativity configuration under the Positioning tab.
• Persistent settings/options are stored in the Windows Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Expertcoderz\Autoclicker. Profiles are stored as keys under the Autoclicker\Profiles subkey.
• If the option for automatic updates is enabled, EC Autoclicker will check once a week for any updates, and download them only after a confirmation prompt on launch.

Contributing

Contributions to EC Autoclicker in the form of bug fixes, enhancements, and even feature additions are welcome.

Before considering to open a pull request (PR), make sure that if it is meant to fix an issue, that issue must already be submitted such that it can be linked in your PR description.

Similarly, if it is meant to introduce an enhancement or new feature, it is strongly encouraged that you open a feature request first before actually working on the PR. This gives an opportunity for your idea to be maintainer-evaluated and to receive feedback that potentially saves time lest changes need to be made.

Before submitting a PR, ensure that you include the following in its description:

1. A concise overview of the change(s) being made—whether it is a fix for a specific issue, an enhancement to the user interface or performance, or an introduction of a new feature.
2. An elaboration on the purpose and benefit(s) of the changes presented by the PR. If it is a fix for a UI bug, for example, give a "before and after" comparison of the relevant interface's behavior to show how the bug no longer appears under the same conditions that it did occur in.
3. A description of any tests that were used to make sure that the changes achieve what they are meant to, and that no unintended behavior or broken functionality is introduced.

Please do not submit a PR that:

• Comprises purely of code formatting changes; code refactoring, however, may be acceptable.
• Hasn't been tested successfully.
• Fixes multiple issues that aren't interrelated or owing to the same root cause; please instead submit multiple PRs per issue.
• Is missing any or all of the information in its PR description mentioned in the previous list.
