1. Getting Started

Your First Launch

When you start ClickCraft for the first time, you'll see the main window with three tabs. We'll walk through everything step by step!

What you'll see:

A clean, tabbed interface

License status at the top (showing your trial period)
Three main sections: Keyboard Automation, Mouse Clicker, and Prevent Screen Lock

Trial vs Licensed Version

ClickCraft offers a 7-day trial so you can test its features.

Some advanced features show "Available in licensed version" tooltips during the trial - hover over disabled items to see what's unlocked with a license. More about Licensing can be found here

3. Keyboard Automation

Basic Text Typing

Step 1: Enable Keyboard Automation

Click the Keyboard Automation tab
Check the box "Enable Keyboard Automation"
You'll see the status change to "No hotkey is currently running" in green

Step 2: Enter Your Text

Click in the large text box under "Text to type:"
Type whatever you want ClickCraft to type for you
Pro tip: Use the "Load from File" button to import longer texts from .txt files

Example: Type "Hello, this is an automated message!"

Step 3: Set Your Repetitions

In the "Repetitions" field, enter how many times to type your text
Default is 1, but you can go up to 9,999,999 times!

Step 4: Set Typing Speed

In "Delay (ms)" field, set how fast to type
100ms = fast typing (10 characters per second)
500ms = slower, more human-like
50ms or less gets a warning - be careful not to overwhelm applications!

Step 5: Choose Your Hotkey

The dropdown shows available hotkeys (F1-F12, Shift+F1-F12)
Default is F6, but pick any available key
ClickCraft prevents conflicts - used hotkeys won't appear in other dropdowns

Step 6: Test It!

Click somewhere you want text typed (like Notepad)
Press your chosen hotkey (e.g., F6)
Watch ClickCraft type your text automatically!
Press the same hotkey again if you want to stop while the typing is not finished yet.

Advanced Keyboard Features

Type Continuously (Licensed Version)

Check "Type continuously" to repeat forever
Perfect for stress testing or filling forms
Warning: Use responsibly - this can type indefinitely!

Press Enter After Typing

Check this box to automatically press Enter when done
Great for submitting forms, sending messages or after typing a password.

Multi-line Text Support

The text box supports multiple lines! Press Enter to create line breaks, and ClickCraft will type them exactly as entered.

Hotkey Presets (The Power User Feature!)

This is where ClickCraft really shines - you can save multiple text snippets with their own hotkeys!

Creating Your First Preset

Enter text, repetitions, delay, and other settings
Click "Save as Hotkey Preset"
Enter a name (like "Email Pass" or "Code Template")
ClickCraft assigns the current Main Hotkey to this preset
Your Main Hotkey automatically changes to avoid conflicts

Using Presets

Each preset has its own hotkey (shown in the presets list)
Press any preset hotkey to run that specific text
Presets run independently of the main keyboard automation

Managing Presets

Click "Details/Edit" to modify text, delay, or repetitions
Click "Delete" to remove presets you no longer need
You can have up to 20 presets (1 in trial mode)

Example Workflow:

Create preset "Meeting Notes" with F1 hotkey
Create preset "Email Template" with F2 hotkey
Create preset "Code Snippet" with Shift+F1 hotkey
Now you have instant access to all three with different hotkeys!

Don't forget to Save your settings before quitting ClickCraft!

Your sensitive automated data needs to be encrypted and saved before exiting to be available again to load on your next session.

4. Mouse Clicker

Basic Click Automation

Step 1: Enable Mouse Clicker

Click the Mouse Clicker tab
Check "Enable Mouse Clicker"
Status shows "No hotkey is currently running"

Step 2: Choose Your Hotkey

Pick from available F-keys (default is F8)
ClickCraft prevents conflicts with keyboard hotkeys

Step 3: Configure Click Options

Mouse Button:

Left (most common)
Right (for context menus)
Middle (scroll wheel click)

Click Type:

Single: One click per action
Double: Double-click per action

Step 4: Set Click Repeat

"Number of clicks": How many times to click (1-9,999,999)
"Click continuously" (Licensed Version): Clicks forever until stopped

Step 5: Choose Cursor Position

Current Location (Default):

Clicks wherever your mouse cursor currently is
Move mouse where you want clicks, then press hotkey

Pick Location (Licensed Version):

Select "Pick location" radio button
Click "Pick location" button
Your screen turns red with instructions
Click anywhere on any monitor to set the target
Coordinates appear automatically
ClickCraft will always click that exact spot

Click Interval - Timing Your Clicks

Fixed Interval (Default)

Set exact timing between clicks:

Minutes: For very long delays
Seconds: Most common timing
Milliseconds: For rapid clicking

Examples:

Gaming: 0 mins, 0 secs, 100 milliseconds (10 clicks/second)
Form filling: 0 mins, 2 secs, 0 milliseconds (every 2 seconds)
Slow automation: 0 mins, 10 secs, 500 milliseconds

Random Interval (Licensed Version)

Creates human-like, unpredictable timing:

Check "Random click interval"
Set "From" time (minimum delay)
Set "To" time (maximum delay)
ClickCraft picks random delays between these values

Example: From 1 second to 3 seconds creates delays between 1-3 seconds randomly.

Multi-Monitor Support

The "Pick location" feature works across multiple monitors! The red overlay covers all screens, so you can click targets on any monitor.

5. Prevent Screen Lock

Basic Screen Lock Prevention

This tab handles keeping your computer awake and maintaining active status in chat apps.

Step 1: Enable Prevention

Click the Prevent Screen Lock tab
Check "Prevent screen lock and sleep"
Green status appears: "Screen lock prevention active"

What this does:

Prevents Windows from turning off your screen
Stops your computer from going to sleep
Keeps your session active during long tasks

Chat Status Maintenance

Step 2: Stay Available in Chat Apps

After enabling screen lock prevention, "Maintain active status" becomes available
Check this box to appear "Available" in Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc.
Green status: "Chat status maintenance active - you'll appear available!"

How it works:

Subtle mouse movements every 45-90 seconds
Tiny scroll wheel actions
Light keyboard activity (Ctrl key taps)
Rotates between methods to appear natural
Note: Only works when screen lock prevention is also enabled

Important Usage Notes

9. Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

"Hotkeys not working"

Check if feature is enabled - Green checkbox should be checked
Try different hotkey - Some games block certain F-keys
Administrator rights - Some applications require ClickCraft to run as admin
Conflicting software - Other automation tools might interfere

"Typing is too fast/slow"

Adjust delay - Higher numbers = slower typing
Recommended minimum: 50ms for stability
App-specific - Some apps need longer delays

"Mouse clicking wrong location"

Use Pick Location - More accurate than current location
Check coordinates - Verify X,Y values are correct
Multiple monitors - Pick location again if you changed screen setup

"Screen lock still activates"

Check green status - Should say "prevention active"
Windows settings - Some corporate policies override
Administrator mode - May be required in some environments

"Chat status not maintaining"

Enable screen lock prevention first - Required for chat status
Check corporate policies - Some companies detect automation
Application-specific - Works with most chat apps

RDP (Remote Desktop)

If using Remote Desktop at full screen, keyboard automation might not work. Solution: Exit full screen mode (Ctrl+Alt+Break) and work in windowed mode.

Performance Tips

Close unnecessary applications for better automation accuracy
Use moderate delays (100ms+) for stability
Test automations in safe environments first

10. Tips & Best Practices

Keyboard Automation Best Practices

Text Preparation

Test first: Try short texts before long automations
Use files: Load long content from text files rather than typing in the box
Format carefully: ClickCraft types exactly what you enter, including spaces and line breaks

Timing Strategies

Start slow: Begin with 200-500ms delays, then optimize
App-specific: Web browsers need longer delays than text editors
Network awareness: Online forms may need extra time for responses

Preset Organization

Descriptive names: "Daily Standup Notes" vs "Text1"
Logical hotkeys: Group related presets (e.g F1-F4 for emails, F5-F8 for code)
Regular cleanup: Delete unused presets to keep list manageable

Mouse Clicker Best Practices

Accuracy Tips

Always use Pick Location for precise targeting
Test coordinates: Click once manually to verify position
Account for window movement: Re-pick if target application moves

Timing Guidelines

Gaming: 50-100ms for rapid actions
Web forms: 1-2 seconds for page loading
File operations: 3-5 seconds for system responses

Safety Measures

Start/stop hotkey: Always know how to stop automation quickly
Test environment: Try automations in safe applications first
Reasonable limits: Don't set million-click automations

General Automation Ethics

Respect terms of service: Don't automate against application policies
Professional responsibility: Use workplace automation transparently
System stability: Don't overwhelm applications with excessive speed
Data safety: Test with non-critical data first

Advanced Workflows

Content Creation Workflow

Save common phrases as presets (signatures, templates, code snippets)
Use different hotkeys for different contexts
Combine with typing delays for natural appearance

Form Filling Workflow

Use Pick Location for precise field targeting
Set appropriate delays for form processing
Create presets for common form data

Testing/QA Workflow

Use Click continuously for stress testing
Combine keyboard and mouse automation
Use random intervals for realistic simulation

Conclusion

Start with simple tasks and build complexity gradually.

ClickCraft is designed to save you time and reduce repetitive strain. Start with simple automations and gradually build more complex workflows as you become comfortable with the features.

Remember: Automation should enhance your productivity, not create problems. Always test in safe environments and use appropriate delays for stability.

Happy Clicking! 🚀
