App Discovery: PyMacroRecord -- a completely free (no trial, no freemium, FREE!) macro recorder for Win10/11

Sometimes, you need to record a macro that will just copy data across multiple windows, move the mouse, and so on. However, when you search, you find... expensive options that has an fee... or an ANNUAL fee. 

Then you keep looking, and find PyMacroRecord. Completely free, source code in Python available on GitHub. One guy's passion project made available for all to you. 

And it works. 

I need to move some videos across my different Youtube channels. However, there is no such functionality on Youtube. The ONLY option is to re-upload. 

So I quickly whipped up a macro that copies title and description from one channel to the other. The rest, like keywords and such, can be handled by re-using an existing description. I have the videos available for re-upload (and the rest, I can download in batch). 

That's a TON of manual copy/paste saved. 30+ videos means probably closer to an hour saved. 

I am sure you have your own use case when you need such functions. Don't pay when this free tool will do.
