But before we move on, here’s a brief introduction to auto clickers – why are they important and who loves and who hates them.
What can an auto clicker do for you?
Auto clickers are software that can help you manipulate and manage mouse clicks. Simply put, they are macro recorders and players that automate clicks. And anyone and everyone who has click-heavy repetitive tasks on their hand will benefit from them. They can be time- and life-saver for developers to test their programs, data recorders to quicken their workflow, and gamers to get the chicken dinner (win). And whether you own a wired or wireless mouse or rely on Mac’s native trackpad, these accommodate all. However, I must warn gamers here. While auto clickers are great for click-based games, they are banned at a professional level. So, use them wisely.
Top Mac auto clickers
1. Auto Clicker for Mac by MurGaa – Best for infinite clicks
It’s effective, customizable, and supports an infinite number of clicks at the selected spot with one click. Actually, you might not even need a click. The program can run via keyboard shortcut or from the Auto Clicker app. You can configure the number of clicks and the interval between those clicks at your convenience. Whether it’s 1, 10, or 100 times in 5 seconds. Plus, the software lets you set a limit to the clicks, a great hack for click-based games and programs, so you are not caught and banned. And the possibilities don’t end here! You can decide the click’s action, i.e., left, right, center, double click, or scroll up or down. Yes, it is not the most beginner-friendly software, but it’s smooth sailing once you get the hang of it. MurGaa creates some of the best automation utilities, and this one is certainly amongst their greatest works. There’s just one issue; it only supports Intel 64 bit Machines, so, sorry M1 users!

2. Mac Auto Clicker by Filehorse – Best for beginners
Don’t be fooled by the free tag. Mac Auto Clicker carries all the necessary features. You can manage the number of clicks and intervals, set auto-stop limits, and decide between left, right, or double click. Moreover, you don’t need to enter the exact number of seconds and milliseconds every time. The program allows you to scale between very slow and very fast. Most importantly, it’s pretty easy to understand and use. The overall UI is pretty basic and gives you an old-school feel. However, the program primarily supports macOS Yosemite (OS X 10.10) and earlier. And since most of us have moved on from those OS, you’ll have to use an ‘unofficial fix‘ to enable it in macOS X 10.15 Catalina and later. Although the fix is not too complex, it is a few extra steps for setup. I guess that’s the price you pay for free software. Price: Free Check out at Filehorse
3. Mac Auto Mouse Click by MurGaa – Great for complex click scripts
Need more than the app just clicks at the same place? Then this software is your best bet as it allows you to create an elaborate workflow with multiple clicks at multiple points across the screen. You can dictate the exact coordinates of the click, number of clicks, the interval between them, and choose an action from an exhaustive list of options, including executing Apple Script. Moreover, you can record custom keyboard shortcuts to initiate the clicking workflow, save them as projects, load and update them as needed. And if you ever need to schedule an auto-run, that can also be managed with just a few clicks. The great thing is that It is super smooth and doesn’t require you to be a scripting ninja. Plus, the tutorial video and step-by-step instructions give you an easy start. Price: Free to download ($9.87 for 6 Months on 1 Mac, free trial available) Check out at MurGaa
