A browser task recorder for repetitive website work
Job Recorder is a browser task recorder built for one purpose: capture a task you already do in your browser, then run it again later without redoing every click by hand.

The problem
- Repetitive website work — checking a dashboard, filing a report, updating a record — usually looks too small to justify a script or a paid automation platform.
- Screen recorders capture video, not actions, so they can't replay anything.
- Full RPA and workflow-builder tools ask for setup time that a five-minute weekly task doesn't deserve.
How Job Recorder solves it
- Job Recorder sits between "do it by hand" and "build a workflow": you perform the browser task once, and it becomes the recording.
- Every recorded task is reviewed before it's saved, so you decide what's fixed, what's asked each time, and what stays manual.
- Saved tasks live in a simple list — open one, provide what changed, and let it run.
How it works
How Job Recorder works
1
Teach
Perform the browser task normally. Job Recorder captures the steps required to repeat it.
2
Review
Choose which values stay the same, which should be requested on every run, and where you want to take over manually.
3
Run
Start the saved job, enter the values that changed, and let Job Recorder handle the repetitive browser work.
Good fits
- One-off internal tools with no automation option
- Status checks and dashboard glances
- Short admin tasks done on a schedule
- Any browser task you'd otherwise write a checklist for
A browser task recorder in the literal sense — it records the task itself, not a video of your screen, and not a workflow diagram you build ahead of time.
Privacy
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.
Current limitations
- Recording happens in a single browser tab; it doesn't follow a task across separate windows.
- Login, one-time codes, and CAPTCHAs are intentionally left out of every recording.
- Sites built on canvas rather than standard page elements aren't reliably recordable yet.
FAQ
- What is a browser task recorder?
- A tool that captures the actions you perform in your browser — clicks, typing, navigation — so they can be replayed later, instead of just recording video of the screen.
- Is Job Recorder the same as a screen recorder?
- No. A screen recorder saves video. Job Recorder saves the actions themselves, so it can actually replay the task, not just show it happening.
- Do I need to set anything up before recording a task?
- No setup step. Choose Teach New Job, perform the task normally, and Job Recorder captures it as you go.
- Can I record a task that includes typed values?
- Yes. During review you mark each typed value as fixed, asked each time, or manual, so typed data doesn't get hardcoded by accident.
- Does the recorder work on internal or login-protected sites?
- It works inside your normal browser session, so it can replay tasks on the same logged-in pages you'd use yourself — Job Recorder never handles the login step.
