TinyTask is a minimalist Windows automation desktop app you can use to record and repeat actions. As the name implies, it's unbelievably small (only 36 kB), ultra-compact, and 100% portable. No scripting is necessary - just press record, then play!

For simple automation jobs, it's quick and easy to put together an automation task that will do all the work for you. The program comes with many ready-to-run samples that demonstrate common vTask commands.

With the Tiny Task tool you can record desktop actions you are doing on your computer into a .rec file and next time you need to do these actions again, all you need to do is just load the .rec file and press play. TinyTask for PC will automate all boring and repetitive tasks for you in no time. The speed of the TinyTask app performing recorded tasks can be increased up to 100 times saving you even more time since tasks that you took hours will complete in minutes. This nifty tool can save you hours of time and it performs really well on all versions of Windows.

How to Use

TinyTask is a simple automation tool that allows you to record and play back mouse and keyboard actions. To use it, you can follow these steps:
  • Download and install TinyTask from the official website.
  • Open the program and click on the "Record" button to start recording your actions.
  • Perform the actions you want to automate (e.g., clicking on specific buttons, typing text, etc.).
  • Click on the "Stop" button to stop recording.
  • Click on the "Play" button to play back your recorded actions.
  • You can also adjust the speed of the playback by using the "Speed" slider.
  • You can also save your recorded actions as a script, which you can later load and play back.
Additionally, you can use the loop function in TinyTask to repeat the action infinite times until you stop the script manually.

Another great feature is compiled exe that allows you to compile a custom .exe file that once executed will perform the task recorded. This way you don't have to load the action every time. You just run the .exe file and it's done. Also, this allows you to make action chains where if some task has 3 steps you would have 3 .exe files, and running these in a given order will complete the whole task.

How did you get this program so small?

TinyTask is a small and efficient program, with its graphics taking up half of the app size. The actual program is only 36 kB in size. This is achieved through the use of pure C programming on a command line and utilizing native OS API calls exclusively. This not only creates a hyper-fast program, but also ensures the purity of the program by avoiding the use of Java, .NET, plugins, EXE packers, or any other extraneous elements.

Additionally, careful consideration is given to the size of variable data storage and optimization of resources to minimize overhead. The program also uses a balance of compiler optimization switches to generate compact code. Additionally, TinyTask incorporates some proprietary technical advances that remain trade secrets.
