Editors’ Review
If you know how to use a CD player, you will be a master at using GhostMouse, a tiny program that lets you record and play back a series of mouse movements, including right clicks and drag-and-drop actions. You may, however, ask yourself when or where you could put your recorded clicks to work.
With Ghost Mouse, automating your daily tasks becomes straightforward and quick. You start by hitting the 'Record' button to capture the mouse and keyboard activities you want to automate. After recording, pressing 'Play' lets you run these actions again anytime. This feature is very useful if you often start your day by opening the same programs — Ghost Mouse can do that for you now.
The software allows you to control the speed of playback, which means you can speed up or slow down the actions depending on your needs. You also get to decide exactly what you want to record — whether it’s just mouse clicks, the movements of the mouse, keyboard strokes, or a mix of these.
Setting up Ghost Mouse is easy, and it lets you configure the actions to be as precise as you like. You can make it run just once, or have it repeat actions at set intervals. Although it might not have the complex features that more advanced programs offer, Ghost Mouse is excellent for anyone looking for a simple solution to automate routine computer tasks.
Using GhostMouse's compact, three-button interface, you can record a script to replay a set of actions. Unlike other programs designed to record and replicate user actions, this one is limited to mouse-related tasks. More robust programs will handle typed text and other keyboard actions. Still, the program worked as promised and even had a few settings and other features. You could, for example, call the GhostMouse app from the command line or upon startup and run a saved script. Using one of the two available user options, you could then choose to close GhostMouse after playback (the other setting governs playback speed). One potentially useful feature is the ability to click Play during a recording session, thereby enabling you to create an endless loop of your mouse clicks. To exit the loop, users just have to deliver a Pause command (Ctrl+Alt.), then exit the application.
Bottom Line
The original purpose of GhostMouse is a mystery. One downloader describes using it to create a continuous click stream to convince a Web server that a real user is viewing the site. GhostMouse may also fill an esoteric need of remote system administrators. In any case, it seems that an application that records both mouse clicks and keyboard strokes would be more likely to satisfy whatever automation needs you have. If, however, you see a need for what GhostMouse offers, you won't have to pay a thing to use it.
