Automatizer

An abundance of activities can be performed on a computer nowadays, but some might require the time you don’t really have. Scheduling can be an important part of computer use, but doing so with default Windows tools can prove quite the challenge. As such, you can rely on third-party alternatives like Automatizer.

On the bright side of things, you don’t need to go through a setup process to make the application work, so you can check out the set of features as soon as download is done. Moreover, it fits on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers. It requires Java Runtime Environment to function, so it works even on computers which aren’t fitted with Windows.

The application can take care of quite a variety of tasks while you’re away, but some effort needs to be invested in building a task. Items at your disposal are pretty straightforward, such as launching a program, inserting a character, putting a window in focus, or perform mouse clicks at specified coordinates.

Adding items is done through a different window, which presents all functions. You can choose from items mentioned above, each accompanied by dedicated parameters. While launching an executable and focusing and application speak for themselves, keystrokes can be accompanied by Alt and Ctrl special keys.

Lists of tasks can be saved to file, just in case you want or need to create different profiles. Actions can be timed according to the previous one to give a natural flow to things and avoid possible errors. The list of tasks can be initiated at the press of a button, or you can enable the scheduler to start at a specific hour.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Automatizer is sure to come in handy to take care of tasks for you even when you’re not in front of the desktop. Complex tasks can be created, but testing and patience needs to be involved for perfect timing of each action.
