Heretic

Heretic is a simple yet powerful software application which allows you to record key strokes and mouse events, in order to run scripts on your computer.

The interface of the program consists of a standard interface and a plain layout where you can toggle between simple and advanced mode. In other words, Heretic is oriented towards both the less experienced and skilled user.

You can configure play options (e.g. play once, for a specific number of times, repeatedly) as well as recording settings (record mouse movements, use extended mouse positioned clicks).

Users with experience in programming languages have full creative control and are free to create scripts from scratch. Plus, you can use the undo and redo functions, correct the time, debug the script, as well as use a pixel/image detection generator. You can enable high priority mode and make Heretic ignore pauses.

The software program has a good response time, includes user documentation, supports keyboard shortcuts and worked smoothly during our evaluation, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. However, the interface could had been a bit more attractive. But we must keep in mind the fact that Heretic has not been updated for a while.
