TaskEcho – Local task automation for Windows

Free, local, no-cloud recording and replay of Windows workflows.

Problem

Repetitive desktop actions (sending messages, taking screenshots, adjusting settings) waste time, but existing automation tools are either cloud-based and paid or require coding; developers want a free, fully local lightweight tool that replays clicks and keystrokes exactly.

Solution

Users record mouse clicks, keyboard input, and system actions to create editable scripts, then replay them on schedule or via hotkey; all data stays on-device with no telemetry.

Users

Developers, operators, and power users who need to automate repetitive Windows workflows

MVP

Record mouse clicks, keystrokes, and cursor positions; simple editor to adjust delays and order; scheduled or hotkey-triggered replay; local storage of scripts; no network dependency

Revenue

Open-core with paid Pro version (advanced editing, multi-script orchestration, priority support); one-time purchase or donations

Why now

AI assistants often can't reliably perform desktop GUI actions, making local automation still essential; Show HN tools like this get attention, yet free local options are scarce
