The report card
Best for a free macro recorder that exports AutoHotkey
Pulover's Macro Creator records mouse and keyboard actions and turns them into AutoHotkey scripts, with image and pixel search. It is free, Windows only and kept by a single maintainer.

| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright with no cap and no account. |
