## What it is
Repeat is a cross-platform desktop application for recording and replaying mouse/keyboard activity and building automation macros and hotkeys using Python or Java. It supports hotkey and mouse-gesture task activation, multi-clipboard, and running tasks across remote machines.

## Use cases
- record and replay mouse and keyboard actions
- create keyboard macros with custom hotkeys
- automate repetitive tasks on my computer
- autohotkey alternative for linux and mac
- trigger tasks with mouse gestures
- expand text shortcuts while typing
- run automation scripts in python or java
- run tasks on multiple remote machines

## When to choose
- you need a free cross-platform macro recorder and automation tool
- you want to write automation tasks in Python or Java instead of a DSL
- you need hotkey or mouse-gesture activation of recorded tasks

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux with Wayland (X11 required)
- you need encrypted or secure credential storage
- you need a maintained actively developed tool (last release 2023)
