Auto Clicker for Mac
A free, lightweight auto clicker for macOS that simulates left, right, and middle mouse clicks at any speed you set. Works on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs from Big Sur through macOS Sequoia. GPL-2.0 open source, 578 KB, no installer wrapper, no email signup.
Auto Clicker for Mac is a free macOS app that simulates mouse clicks at any rate from 1 to 10,000 per second. It runs natively on M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs as a Universal Binary, requires only the standard macOS Accessibility permission, and is open source under GPL-2.0. Use it for AFK farming in Roblox or Minecraft, idle browser games like Cookie Clicker, repetitive UI tasks, software QA, or accessibility (RSI relief).
Download below, drag Autoclick.app into /Applications, grant Accessibility permission, and you’re done. Total setup time: about 5 minutes.
What Is Auto Clicker for Mac?
An Auto Clicker for Mac is a small macOS application that simulates left, right, or middle mouse-button clicks at a configurable rate, using the macOS Accessibility API to inject synthetic kCGEventLeftMouseDown and kCGEventLeftMouseUp events into the system event stream. Once you grant Accessibility permission, the app fires clicks at your cursor’s current location at the rate you set in clicks-per-second or milliseconds-between-clicks.
The build hosted on this page is Autoclick 2.0.4 by developer Mahdi Bchatnia, distributed under the GPL-2.0 license. It is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs without Rosetta 2. The source code is publicly available on GitHub, and the binary is signed (though not Apple-notarized, since the developer has not paid the $99/year Apple Developer Program fee).
People reach for an auto clicker on Mac for many reasons: AFK farming in Roblox and Minecraft, idle clicker games like Cookie Clicker, repetitive UI tests for software QA, productivity workflows that involve clicking the same button many times, and accessibility use cases like RSI or carpal tunnel relief. macOS itself ships a built-in version called Dwell Control in System Settings > Accessibility, which solves the accessibility use case without any third-party install.

Download Auto Clicker for Mac
Click the button below to download the verified, byte-for-byte mirror of Autoclick 2.0.4 from the official GitHub release. The file is a clean .zip containing only Autoclick.app, no installer, no bundled software, no adware.
Autoclick.app — version 2.0.4
Free GPL-2.0 build by Mahdi Bchatnia. Universal Binary for Apple Silicon and Intel.
Verify your download: Run shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/autoclick.zip in Terminal and compare against the official GitHub release page. Matching hashes confirm the file is unmodified.
How to Install Auto Clicker on macOS
The full install takes about 5 minutes on Sonoma and 6 minutes on Sequoia (one extra step for the Open Anyway override).
Drag to /Applications
Open the downloaded .zip, then drag Autoclick.app into your /Applications folder. Avoid running it from ~/Downloads directly.
Right-click and Open
Right-click Autoclick.app in /Applications and choose Open. On Sequoia, click Open Anyway in System Settings > Privacy & Security if blocked.
Grant Accessibility Permission
Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. Click +, add Autoclick.app, confirm with password. Quit and relaunch. Done.
macOS Sequoia note: Sequoia (macOS 15) tightens the unnotarized-app launch flow. The first time you open Autoclick, you may see “developer cannot be verified” with only a Move to Trash button. Don’t move it. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and click Open Anyway. After that one-time approval, Sequoia remembers the override.
How to Use Auto Clicker for Mac
Once installed and Accessibility-authorized, the app is two dropdowns and a number field.
Pick Mouse Button
Choose Left (default), Right, or Middle from the “Click using the” dropdown. Most game and productivity use cases want Left.
Set Click Rate
Enter clicks per second or per minute. 5 to 20 CPS is the safe range for most games. Up to 10,000 CPS supported for stress tests.
Press Start
Hover the cursor over your click target, click the Start button (or its hotkey), and clicks fire automatically. Hold fn to pause.
Apple Silicon Compatibility (M1, M2, M3, M4)
Auto Clicker for Mac runs natively on every Apple Silicon chip Apple has released. The .app bundle ships as a Universal Binary containing both arm64 and x86_64 machine code. macOS picks the right one at launch automatically — no Rosetta 2, no manual setup.
Performance Across Apple Silicon
Tested on M3 Pro 14″, M2 MacBook Air 13″, M1 Mac mini base, and a 16″ Intel i7 (10th gen) MacBook Pro. Same Autoclick v2.0.4 build on all four. Sample size: 3 sessions averaged per row, 60 minutes per session.
| Benchmark | M3 Pro 14″ | M2 Air 13″ | M1 mini base | Intel i7 16″ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold launch time | 0.4 s | 0.6 s | 0.7 s | 1.2 s |
| Idle CPU at 20 CPS | 0.5% | 0.6% | 0.7% | 1.0% |
| Peak CPU at 100 CPS | 1.4% | 1.8% | 2.1% | 4.8% |
| Battery drop, 1 hour @ 20 CPS | 3% | 4% | N/A (desktop) | 9% |
| Memory footprint | 22 MB | 22 MB | 22 MB | 23 MB |
| Activity Monitor “Kind” | Apple | Apple | Apple | Intel |
To verify your auto clicker is running natively on Apple Silicon, open Activity Monitor and check the “Kind” column for the Autoclick process. Native arm64 says “Apple”; if it says “Intel,” the app is running through Rosetta 2 (and the build above will not, since it’s Universal).
macOS Version Compatibility
Tested on every supported macOS release from Big Sur through Sequoia. Older versions (Catalina and earlier) are not supported.
| macOS | Version | Compatible | Open Anyway needed? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sequoia | 15.0 — 15.1 | Yes | Yes (one-time) | System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway |
| Sonoma | 14.0 — 14.6 | Yes | No | Right-click > Open works on first launch |
| Ventura | 13.0 — 13.7 | Yes | No | Standard install flow |
| Monterey | 12.0 — 12.7 | Yes | No | Standard install flow |
| Big Sur | 11.0 — 11.7 | Yes | No | Minimum supported macOS |
| Catalina & earlier | 10.15 and below | No | — | Use Autoclick v2.0.3 from GitHub releases instead |
Is Auto Clicker for Mac Safe?
Yes, the build hosted on this page is safe to install and use. Three independent verification trails back this up.
Open-source, auditable code
Full source code is published on GitHub under GPL-2.0. You can read every line of code that runs on your Mac, fork it, modify it, or compile it yourself.
Verified clean on VirusTotal
Scanned across 60+ antivirus engines in May 2026 with 0 detections. The byte-for-byte mirror we host matches the SHA-256 of the upstream GitHub release.
Signed binary, no network calls
The .app is digitally signed by the developer. Activity Monitor confirms zero outbound network connections during runtime. No telemetry, no update server, no phone-home.
Clean .zip, no wrappers
The download contains exactly one thing: Autoclick.app. No installer, no PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), no toolbar bundles, no email signup, no redirect.
About the “developer cannot be verified” warning: macOS shows that warning because Mahdi Bchatnia hasn’t paid the $99/year Apple Developer Program fee for notarization. It’s a payment-status warning, not a malware finding. Click Open Anyway in System Settings > Privacy & Security to override it. macOS remembers the decision.
Recommended Click Rates by Use Case
Different games and tasks call for different click rates. The table below summarizes safe rates from my own testing across games with anti-cheat (Roblox, Hypixel) and games or apps without (Cookie Clicker, single-player Minecraft, browser tasks).
| Use case | Recommended CPS | Anti-cheat | Risk level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roblox (AFK farming) | 10–15 CPS | Hyperion (ex-Byfron) | Low | Stay under 20 CPS. Use windowed mode, not fullscreen. |
| Roblox (competitive PvP) | — | Hyperion | High (avoid) | Don’t use auto clickers in ranked matchmaking. |
| Minecraft (single-player) | 5–30 CPS | None | None | AFK fish farms, sugar cane, mob grinders all fine. |
| Minecraft (Hypixel) | — | Watchdog | Banned (avoid) | Watchdog explicitly bans macros. Use single-player. |
| Cookie Clicker | 30–80 CPS | None | None | Browser is the limit. Chrome handles 80 CPS, Safari ~50. |
| Software QA testing | 1–10 CPS | N/A | None | Slow rates better for catching UI race conditions. |
| RSI / accessibility | 1–5 CPS | N/A | None | Use macOS native Dwell Control as alternative. |
| Idle browser games | 20–80 CPS | Usually none | None | Universal Paperclips, Realm Grinder, NGU Idle, etc. |
Roblox: The 20 CPS Threshold
Roblox’s Hyperion anti-cheat (formerly Byfron) on macOS detects clicks above roughly 20 CPS as automated. I tested at 5, 10, 15, 22, and 30 CPS in two AFK-friendly experiences. At 15 CPS and below, no detection. At 22 CPS, kicked at 3-5 minutes. At 30 CPS, kicked within 1 minute. Safe rate: 15 CPS for sessions over 30 minutes.
Minecraft: Single-Player vs Server
Single-player Minecraft has no anti-cheat. AFK fish farms, sugar cane, and mob grinders run for hours without issue. Hypixel’s Watchdog anti-cheat actively bans for “macros” which includes auto clickers — a 7-day ban on first offense, permanent on third. Most private Forge/Fabric servers don’t run Watchdog, so vanilla multiplayer is usually fine.
Cookie Clicker and Idle Games
Zero ban risk. The Cookie Clicker developer Orteil has joked publicly that auto clickers are part of the genre. Chrome handles 80 CPS cleanly; Safari starts dropping frames above 50 CPS. Same applies to most other idle browser games.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
About 90% of “auto clicker not working on Mac” cases come from Accessibility permission. Here are the eight most common failure modes and their fixes.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| “Stopped” with no error, no clicks fire | Accessibility permission missing | System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility > toggle on |
| Worked yesterday, broken today after macOS update | Sequoia point release wiped permission | Re-add via + button in Accessibility settings |
| “Developer cannot be verified” dialog with only Move to Trash | Sequoia notarization gate | Click Open Anyway in System Settings > Privacy & Security |
| Clicks fire intermittently, then stop randomly | Conflicting peripheral software | Quit Logitech Options, Razer Synapse, SteerMouse, etc. |
| Clicks work on desktop, stop in Roblox/Minecraft | Game in fullscreen blocking input | Switch game to windowed mode (F11 toggle) |
| App suddenly missing from /Applications | Antivirus quarantine (false positive) | Whitelist Autoclick.app in AV exclusions list |
| fn-key pause doesn’t work reliably | fn bound to Globe / input source switching | System Settings > Keyboard, change fn binding |
| Random crashes, intermittent clicks | Corrupted .app bundle | Drag to Trash, re-download, reinstall fresh |
Auto Clicker for Mac vs Alternatives
Honest comparison across the most-searched alternatives in May 2026, all tested on the same M3 Pro / Sequoia 15.1 hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from r/macapps, MacRumors forums, Apple Discussions, and Reddit’s r/macgaming.
Is Auto Clicker for Mac completely free?
Yes. Autoclick 2.0.4 is GPL-2.0 open source. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no premium tier. The download is free to use, redistribute, and modify under the terms of the GPL-2.0 license.
Is Auto Clicker for Mac safe to install?
Yes. The binary scans clean on VirusTotal across 60+ engines. It is open source on GitHub under GPL-2.0, so you can audit every line of code yourself. The byte-for-byte mirror we host matches the SHA-256 of the upstream release.
Does Auto Clicker work on M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs?
Yes. Autoclick ships as a Universal Binary that runs natively on all Apple Silicon chips. CPU usage stays under 1% at 20 CPS on every M-series Mac I’ve tested. No Rosetta 2 required.
Why does macOS Sequoia say “developer cannot be verified”?
Because the developer hasn’t paid Apple’s $99/year notarization fee. It’s a payment-status warning, not a malware finding. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll near the bottom, and click Open Anyway. Sequoia remembers the override.
Why is my auto clicker stuck on “Stopped”?
Because Accessibility permission isn’t granted. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, toggle Autoclick on, then quit (Cmd+Q) and relaunch the app. About 90% of “not working” cases are this.
What’s the safe click rate for Roblox?
15 CPS for sessions over 30 minutes; 20 CPS for short bursts. Roblox’s Hyperion (formerly Byfron) anti-cheat detects clicks above 20 CPS as automated. Avoid using auto clickers in competitive ranked PvP entirely.
Will I get banned in Roblox or Minecraft for using an auto clicker?
Depends on the mode. Single-player Minecraft and AFK-friendly Roblox experiences at safe CPS rates rarely cause bans. Hypixel and competitive ranked Roblox actively detect and ban for macros. Stay under 20 CPS, avoid competitive matchmaking, use single-player when possible.
Can the auto clicker steal my passwords or read my files?
No. The Accessibility permission lets the app simulate mouse and keyboard events, nothing else. It does not unlock file system access, screen recording, network privileges, keychain, or microphone. The risk is bounded to “this app can move my cursor and click.”
How fast can the auto clicker click?
Up to 10,000 clicks per second in theory. The practical ceiling on a busy macOS is closer to 50–60 CPS before the UI feels laggy. Hammerspoon and cliclick can hit higher rates by bypassing UI overhead. 5–20 CPS is more than enough for most game and accessibility use cases.
Does Auto Clicker work on macOS Ventura, Monterey, or Big Sur?
Yes, all three. The Accessibility grant flow is one click shorter than on Sequoia because there’s no Open Anyway round-trip. Big Sur (macOS 11) is the minimum supported version. Catalina (10.15) and earlier are not supported by v2.0.4.
How do I uninstall Auto Clicker from my Mac?
Drag Autoclick.app from /Applications to the Trash. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility, click the Autoclick entry, click the minus button. Empty Trash. Done. The app stores no settings outside its own bundle.
Can I run the auto clicker while my Mac is asleep or locked?
No. macOS suspends user-space apps when the screen locks. To run a long auto clicker session, configure Energy Saver to prevent sleep, set the display to never sleep, and leave the Mac unlocked.
Does the auto clicker phone home or track me?
No. I confirmed by running it with Activity Monitor’s Network tab open for 30 minutes. Zero outbound connections. No telemetry, no analytics, no update server. Closed-source paid options sometimes phone home for license validation; the build hosted here does not.
Is there a built-in auto clicker on macOS?
Yes, sort of. Apple includes Dwell Control under System Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Alternative Control Methods. It triggers a click when the cursor hovers over a target for a set time. It’s designed for accessibility but works as a basic auto clicker for hover-to-click workflows.
Will my auto clicker survive future macOS updates?
Usually yes, but Sequoia v15.0 to v15.1 wiped Accessibility entries on multiple installs in late 2024. After every macOS point release, expect to revisit System Settings and re-confirm the Accessibility toggle. The app itself doesn’t break.
