Minimum Effort Clicker 1.0.2
A free, open-source mouse and keyboard automation app for Windows 11 x64 and Linux (GNOME and KDE Plasma,
Steam Deck in Desktop Mode), with the same pages and the same version on both. Also on Steam, with Steam Cloud and
Workshop sharing on Windows.
What changed in 1.0.2
- Security update: the bundled .NET runtime is now 10.0.14 with Microsoft's October fixes. No package in the app has a
known advisory. - A screenshot folder chosen on the other system reads as the default, so Steam Cloud can carry settings between a PC
and a Steam Deck.
What changed in 1.0.1
- Steam: closing the clicker with Steam's Stop button no longer fills the log with errors or offers a bug report at the
next start. - The Actions page no longer stays greyed out after saving a toggle.
- Steam Deck: the first-start setup window fits the screen, and the back buttons work beside a game under Steam.
- Linux: copying a screenshot to the clipboard no longer crashes the app.
Download
- Windows: download
MinimumEffortClicker-1.0.2-win-x64.zip, extract the whole folder and open
MinimumEffortClicker.App.exe. The .NET runtime is included. - Linux: download
MinimumEffortClicker-1.0.2-linux-x64.tar.gz, extract it and run./install.sh. On first start
the clicker sets up its desktop helper in one press (on GNOME, log out and back in once). Recording is optional: press
Turn on when you want it (your password, once). Details: docs/LINUX.md.
The automatic "Source code" archives are for building, not for running the app. Each package has a .sha256 file
next to it and a build-manifest.json inside with the source commit and a hash for every file.
What's new since 0.5.0-preview.36
- Bug report in one press: describe what happened, choose what to include, press Send report. No mail app or
account needed. Nothing is sent before you press it. - Look recording for first- and third-person games: camera movement is recorded and played back.
- × times per click or key press, Pause / Unpause (F7 and a controller button), Keep on top, and the
Click target from last time comes back at the next start. - Help is a full manual with clickable contents; Settings and Help show the version and build.
- Toggles say why when they cannot switch on ("No Click Target Selected").
- Linux: a one-press first-start setup, works on Steam and the Steam Deck, and recording is clearly optional.
- Steam Deck: the back buttons are the default controller shortcuts; L4 starts and stops.
- Many smaller fixes. The full list is in CHANGELOG.md.
Good to know
- Nothing runs until you start it. F8 starts and stops Actions, F6 stops everything, F7 pauses, F9 takes
a screenshot and F10 records; change them in Settings. - Saved macros from earlier versions open and are upgraded (macro schema 17); nothing is reset. Keep each version in
its own folder and copy the oldDatafolder next to the new one. - Not code-signed: Windows may show a SmartScreen warning the first time. Do not turn off Windows protections;
check the SHA-256 instead. - Some games forbid macros. Check a game's rules before using a clicker in it.
