Auto clicker for Mac
autoclickr for Mac is in development and will be distributed through the Mac App Store. The Windows version is available today. This page covers what an auto clicker on macOS has to do, and why most of them fail at it.
App Store distribution
The Mac version will ship through the App Store, which sidesteps Gatekeeper warnings entirely.
In development
Not available yet. The Windows version is available now.
Nothing bundled
No second installer, no helper you didn't ask for, no login item.
Runs offline
Everything happens on your Mac. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Why macOS asks for Accessibility access
macOS requires Accessibility permission before any app can move your cursor or send clicks. This is a system-wide rule, it applies to every auto clicker on the Mac, and there is no version of this app that works without it.
It is also the single most common reason a Mac auto clicker appears to do nothing. The app opens, the interval is set, you press start, and nothing happens, because the permission was never granted.
Open System Settings
Go to Privacy & Security, then Accessibility, in System Settings.
Enable autoclickr
Find autoclickr in the list and turn the toggle on. You'll be asked for your password.
Restart the app
Quit autoclickr and open it again. macOS only applies the new permission on a fresh launch.
What the Mac app will do
autoclickr on macOS will be the same application as the Windows version, with the same four sections and the same hotkeys.
Clicking
Fixed intervals down to the millisecond or a random range. Left, middle or right button, single or double. Click at the cursor or lock it to a point on screen. Run a set number of clicks or until you stop it.
Recording and macros
Record keyboard, clicks and mouse movement, then replay once, a set number of times, or on a loop. Build macros by hand from click, type, wait, key press and loop steps, and fire them from a hotkey.
Hotkeys on macOS
F6 starts and stops, F11 pauses, F3 records, F4 plays back and F8 runs a macro. On Macs with a Touch Bar or with function keys mapped to media controls, hold fn as well, or rebind them to something else. Every one of the five is rebindable.
What is an auto clicker for Mac?
An auto clicker for Mac is a macOS application that repeats mouse clicks at an interval you choose, so a task needing a thousand identical clicks needs one keypress instead. On macOS it needs Accessibility permission to send those clicks, which is what separates a working Mac auto clicker from one that installs and then does nothing.
Why most Mac auto clickers get blocked
Apple requires apps distributed outside the App Store to be signed with a Developer ID and notarised, which means Apple has scanned the build. Unsigned apps trigger a warning saying the developer cannot be verified, and on recent macOS versions getting past that warning takes a deliberate trip into System Settings.
Most free Mac auto clickers skip signing, because it costs money and requires a verified developer account. That is why the instructions for them so often involve right-clicking, choosing Open, and confirming a warning. autoclickr for Mac will ship through the Mac App Store, where Apple reviews every app before it is listed, so it will open the way any other app does.
Apple silicon and Intel
The Mac build targets Apple silicon and Intel on macOS 12 and above, from a single App Store listing. It is in development rather than released.
Questions people actually ask
How do I get an auto clicker on a Mac?
When the Mac version ships you will install it from the Mac App Store, then grant Accessibility permission in System Settings under Privacy & Security.
The permission step is required by macOS for any app that sends clicks, so no Mac auto clicker can skip it.
Why isn't my Mac auto clicker clicking?
The usual cause is Accessibility permission. macOS blocks synthetic clicks from any app that hasn't been granted it, and the app gives no obvious error when it's missing.
Enable autoclickr under Privacy & Security, then Accessibility, and restart the app. The permission only takes effect on a fresh launch.
Does it work on Apple silicon?
That is the plan for the Mac release. It is not available yet, so there is nothing to run on either architecture today.
Will macOS say the developer cannot be verified?
Not for an App Store app. Apps installed from the Mac App Store bypass that warning entirely, which is why we are distributing there.
That warning appears for unsigned apps, which most free Mac auto clickers are.
Do the F6 and F11 hotkeys work on a Mac?
They will, though on Macs where the function keys default to brightness and media controls you will need to hold fn as well.
All five hotkeys can be rebound if that's inconvenient.
Is there a free auto clicker for Mac?
The Windows version is free for the first seven days with every feature unlocked, and no card is needed to start. The Mac version is not out yet.
Free alternatives exist, but most are unsigned, which is why they trigger Gatekeeper warnings and need a manual override to open.
