hmClicker

Some activities might require your computer to stay active the whole time, even if you’re not there. Surely you can disable them from the set of default Windows features, but there are other options at your disposal as well. For instance, hmClicker is the type of tool with which you don’t just keep the computer busy, but also perform other tasks which require mouse clicks.

On the bright side of things, the application comes in a pretty lightweight package, and doesn’t take any of your time with a setup process. What this also means is that you’re free to deploy it on a thumb drive in case you work on multiple computers and need an automated mouse clicker. Registry entries are not altered, so the health status of the target PC remains intact.

When launched, the application creates a tray icon so it doesn’t take up any desktop space after a task is configured and started. The settings panel shows up on launch so you easily define how and where mouse clicks are performed. Location needs to be specified, the type of click, as well as the interval.

Position where the mouse click is performed can be defined in a couple of ways. On the one hand, you can use the current mouse position, but this means you need to leave it there for the duration of the operation. On the other hand, there’s a set of coordinates you can use to set the position, but there’s no option to pick an exact spot, so you need to manually provide X and Y pixel coordinates.

Click intervals are specified in seconds, milliseconds, minutes, or hours, with the possibility to either set a fixed or variable interval. Mouse button selection is easily done, but you can’t choose a double-click, regardless of the button you pick.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that hmClicker is a pretty straightforward mouse clicker, but it’s packed with enough variety to serve well on the long run. Unfortunately, you can’t set double-click operations, and adjusting the interval doesn’t account for it.
