- Enter changing values
- Browser handles the repetitive work
How Job Recorder works
Teach
Perform the browser task normally. Job Recorder captures the steps required to repeat it.
Review
Choose which values stay the same, which should be requested on every run, and where you want to take over manually.
Run
Start the saved job, enter the values that changed, and let Job Recorder handle the repetitive browser work.
Automate routine browser work
- Recurring web forms
- Weekly and monthly reports
- Repetitive browser data entry
- Admin portal workflows
- Repeated navigation and form filling
- Recurring back-office browser tasks
Before
Every Friday: open the timesheet portal, click into eight fields, re-type your name and cost center, then submit.
With Job Recorder
Record it once. Keep your name and cost center fixed, mark hours as Ask me. Next Friday: open the job, type this week's hours, done.
Result: One field to fill instead of eight.
Not a workflow builder — record it once, browser-only, local
Job Recorder is designed for people who want browser automation without scripting or building workflow diagrams. Instead of connecting apps or assembling blocks on a canvas, you perform the task normally, once, and that recording becomes the reusable job. Here's how that's different from the tools you may already know:
| Job Recorder | Zapier | Bardeen | UI.Vision | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Record the task once, by doing it | Build a workflow connecting app APIs | Build a playbook / AI workflow | Record or script (Selenium IDE-based) |
| Where it runs | Locally, in your browser tab | In the cloud | Cloud-connected browser automation | Browser and desktop |
| Best for | One repetitive browser task you already do by hand | Connecting different apps and services together | Multi-step workflows across web apps | Advanced RPA, including desktop apps |
General positioning, not live pricing or feature lists — check each tool's own site for current details.
Nothing runs blind
- Changing values can be requested on each run, instead of being hard-coded.
- Manual checkpoints can pause automation at a point you choose.
- Logins, one-time codes, and CAPTCHAs stay manual — Job Recorder doesn’t try to solve them.
- Potentially sensitive final actions can be reviewed before continuing.
- You can stop a job at any time, mid-run.
Your jobs stay on your computer
- ✓ Your recorded jobs stay on your computer.
- ✓ Job Recorder doesn't store your website passwords.
- ✓ Saved jobs are stored locally in your browser, not on a server.
- ✓ Sensitive form contents aren't sent anywhere as analytics data.
- ✓ Replays reuse your normal browser login sessions — you don’t log in twice.
Honest, on purpose
Job Recorder is an MVP. It does not promise reliable automation for every website or browser interaction.
- Desktop applications outside the browser aren’t automated.
- CAPTCHAs are never solved automatically — they stay manual.
- Native OS dialogs (file pickers, system prompts) require your input.
- Some complex custom controls aren’t fully supported yet.
- Multi-window workflows that span separate windows aren’t supported.
- Canvas-heavy applications (where the page isn’t real DOM) are unreliable.
Common questions
- What is Job Recorder?
- Job Recorder is a Chrome extension that records repetitive browser tasks and lets you replay them later.
- Is Job Recorder a screen recorder?
- No. It records browser actions for replay; it is not a video or screen-recording product.
- Do I need to write scripts?
- No. You teach a job by performing it in the browser and reviewing the recorded steps.
- How does Job Recorder work?
- You perform a task once, review the recorded steps, choose which values stay fixed or change, and save it as a reusable job.
- Can Job Recorder automate web forms?
- Yes, supported forms can be recorded and replayed, while values that change between runs can be requested before execution.
- How is this different from Zapier or Bardeen?
- Those connect apps or build multi-step workflows in the cloud. Job Recorder does one thing: record a single repetitive browser task by doing it, then replay it locally — no workflow builder, no account.
- Does Job Recorder store my passwords?
- No. Password fields should remain manual and passwords are not saved as job values.
- Where are my recorded jobs stored?
- Recorded jobs are stored locally in the user's browser for the MVP.
- Is Job Recorder a browser macro recorder?
- It performs a similar record-and-replay function, but the product is designed around reusable jobs where changing values and manual steps can be explicitly handled.
- What happens when a website changes?
- If a page's layout changes enough that a saved step can no longer find what it's looking for, the job pauses so you can point it at the right element or take over manually — it doesn't guess.
- Can I stop before submitting a payment or form?
- Yes. You can add a manual checkpoint before a sensitive step, and you can stop a running job at any time before it acts.
- Does it work on every website?
- Not necessarily. Job Recorder is an MVP, and complex, protected, or highly dynamic websites may require manual steps or may not yet be supported.
- Where can I install it?
- Job Recorder is available as a Chrome extension through the Chrome Web Store.
