iMacros is designed to automate the most repetitious tasks on the web. If there’s an activity you have to do repeatedly, just record it in iMacros. The next time you need to do it, the entire macro will run at the click of a button! With iMacros, you can quickly and easily fill out web forms, remember passwords, create a web mail notifier, and more. You can keep the macros on your computer for your own use, use them within bookmark sync, or share them with others by embedding them on your homepage, blog, company intranet or any social bookmarking service. The uses are limited only by your imagination!
Popular uses are as web macro recorder, form filler on steroids and highly-secure password manager (256-bit encryption).
Web developers use iMacros for web regression testing, performance testing and web transaction monitoring. It can also be combined with Google Speed Tracer, Firebug and other web development and test tools. XPath and CSS selector support is included.
iMacros can be combined with Greasemonkey style content scripts and the macros can be started via the command line e. g. via the Windows task scheduler, batch files or a Linux cron job.
You can combine iMacros with popular ad-blocking extensions to further speed up your web automation tasks.
Macros recorded with iMacros for Chrome are compatible with other versions of iMacros. All iMacros versions combined have millions of active users, making it the most popular web browser automation tool.
