BiggerTask is a Linux macro utility inspired by TinyTask.
It is designed to give Linux users a straightforward way to automate repetitive desktop actions without the complexity of a larger automation framework. The repository offers installation through Flathub, downloadable releases, or by building from source.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Records mouse movement, mouse clicks, and keyboard input.
- Replays recorded actions for repetitive tasks and simple automation.
- Saves macros for later use and loads existing recordings when needed.
- Supports configurable repeat counts, including infinite looping.
- Lets you stop playback with the Ctrl key on supported environments, although the README notes this does not work on Wayland.
