Portable TinyTask

Portable TinyTask is a software utility that helps people record all the actions taking place on their desktop and play them at a later date.

This is the portable counterpart of TinyTask, which means that you can bypass the installation process. As a result, this tool is not going to affect the Windows registry and Start menu/screen in any way.

Aside from that, Portable TinyTask can be used on any computer you have access to, by dropping the program files on a portable storage unit, such as a USB flash drive.

All recordings can be saved to the hard drive in a REC format or they can be compiled as EXE files, so that you can recreate them at a later date.

The interface is very simple and intuitive, thus allowing any type of person to use it, be them experienced or not. In addition to that, it is fairly unobtrusive, as the window is very small and only contains the necessary buttons.

From the settings panel, you can establish the play speed (normal, fast), set it to playback a user-input number of times or make it continuous. It is also possible to show or hide tips, remember settings in INI files and set the recording and playback hotkeys (“Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R,” “Print Screen,” “F8” and “F12”).

The Help contents are not quite extensive, yet seeing how easy it is to use the application, it becomes apparent that they are not actually needed.

To sum up, Portable TinyTask is a useful piece of software when it comes to recording actions taken on the desktop and repeating them. CPU and memory usage is minimal, response time is good and our tests did not reveal any errors, crashes or bugs.
