Macro Scheduler

Automate Windows apps with ease — even legacy ones.

Visit Macro Scheduler

Macro Scheduler is a Windows automation and RPA tool from MJT Net Ltd, first released in 1997. It addresses the challenge of automating repetitive tasks across Windows applications, including legacy systems that other RPA platforms may not handle effectively, by combining macro recording with scripting and screen-based interaction.

Its main features include a keyboard and mouse recorder, code builders and wizards, screen image recognition, a built-in scripting language, and a full macro editor with code completion. Browser automation is supported through dedicated Chrome and Edge functions, along with IE WebRecorder and IE Code Wizards. The tool includes an advanced debugger for stepping through macros and inspecting variables, a built-in scheduler for unattended runs at set times or system events, and an AI-powered Macro Scheduler Agent for script analysis, debugging, and automation generation. Integration is possible via the scripting language, command line, COM interface, Windows APIs, files, databases, and web APIs.

Macro Scheduler is aimed at individuals and organizations automating Windows desktop and legacy applications, including those without programming experience. It is packaged as a non-commercial Personal edition licensed per user and machine with limited concurrency, a Business subscription with full automation capabilities and no minimum term, and a one-time Professional License that includes a compiler and royalty-free executable distribution with an initial maintenance period. A free trial is available, and subscriptions and lifetime licenses are offered as alternatives.
