The record

Purpose: Macro Recorder records mouse and keyboard actions on Windows or Mac and can replay the procedure repeatedly.
Editing: Recordings appear as editable individual actions that users can adjust or rearrange, and macros can also be composed step by step.
Smart clicks: During playback, SmartClick searches the desktop for visual context around the captured click target and clicks when it finds it.
Screen capture: The software supports screen image capture, OCR text capture, and barcode or QR code data extraction into variables.
AI: The product supports optional cloud and self-hosted AI integrations, including OpenAI and local models such as Llama and DeepSeek.
PhraseExpress integration: PhraseExpress can organize macros, trigger them with hotkeys or text shortcuts, and share them with users on a network; both products need Enterprise licenses for this use.
Privacy: The maker says the software runs locally and does not send data to third parties or the maker except optional update checks and one-time license activation; AI is optional and disabled by default.
Support: The maker says product support is handled directly by the people who build its products, while support for freeware users is reserved for paying users.
Free-use limits: Personal freeware use is limited: company or organizational use and features from paid editions require a license, and financially beneficial use requires a purchase after 30 days.
Linux: The product FAQ says there is no plan for a Linux version at this time.
License: A paid license is a one-time purchase with no recurring payment and is valid for life for versions released during its maintenance term.
License use: One license is for either one Mac or one Windows user and cannot run simultaneously on both computers.
Company: Bartels Media GmbH lists its address as Rudi-Schillings-Str. 5, 54296 Trier, Germany.
Headquarters: Trier, Germany
