Actions for each macro and folder

To move a macro or a folder, drag it onto the destination folder. You can also drop files from Windows Explorer onto the list to import them into the open folder.

File formats

If a file with that name already exists when importing, the program asks: Skip or Replace (just one), or Rename all / Replace all (several).

Creating a robot step by step

1. OCR region. Click Create Robot and then Select area. Drag a rectangle over the area you want to watch. Esc cancels.
2. Detect and confirm the text. The program lists the texts it reads in that area. Choose the one you want to watch and click Use selected text.
3. Set up the robot: name, condition, macro, frequency, alarms and limits (table below).
4. Click Test robot if you want to check it, then save. From the list, Start Robot sets it running.

The robot needs a macro or the «when the text disappears» alarm; without a macro it works as «alarm only».

Trigger conditions

The text doesn't have to match letter by letter: it is enough for it to be contained in what is read, ignoring case and accents, and small reading errors are tolerated.

Robot options

Each robot shows its checks, triggers, active time and success rate, plus a filterable recent activity. Robots can be exported and imported as .json files.

Adding games

The library can be searched, filtered by source (Steam, Microsoft Store, Manual) and sorted by recently played, name or most played.

Buttons on each game
