2automate is a ~€15 Raspberry Pi device that acts as a physical keyboard and mouse. Record your workflows once — then plug it into any computer and replay them at the hardware level. Nothing to install. Nothing to configure. Completely offline.
Run our lightweight recorder on any Windows, Mac, or Linux PC. It captures every mouse movement and keystroke and saves them as named sessions directly to the Raspberry Pi.
Connect the Pi Zero 2W via USB. The target PC sees it as a regular keyboard and mouse — no drivers, no software, no admin rights needed.
Select a session and hit play. The Pi physically types and moves the mouse exactly as you recorded — with microsecond precision. The PC can't tell the difference between you and the device.
Why hardware-level? Unlike software macro tools, 2automate works at the USB level. The target computer literally thinks a human is sitting at the keyboard. No antivirus flags. No admin permissions. No software traces. It just works — on any machine, any OS, even locked-down corporate terminals.
2automate runs entirely on the Raspberry Pi. Your computers stay clean, untouched, and unaware.
The target machine sees a keyboard and mouse — that's it. No agents, no services, no footprint. Unplug the Pi and it's like you were never there.
Hardware input devices don't trigger security software. No ports to open, no executables to whitelist, no false positives to chase.
2automate never reads your files, registry, or system settings. It only sends keystrokes and mouse movements — just like a human would.
No admin rights required. If the PC accepts a USB keyboard, it accepts 2automate. Perfect for corporate terminals, kiosks, and restricted environments.
No cloud. No accounts. No trust required. Verify every claim yourself.
The Pi never contacts any server — not even during setup. All processing happens locally. Your recordings never leave your device.
Works in fully isolated networks. Unplug the Ethernet, disable Wi-Fi — it doesn't care. Perfect for secure facilities and privacy-conscious setups.
Ed25519 signatures with hardware-bound activation. No cloud verification needed, ever.
Run Wireshark. Block all outbound traffic. Check your router logs. We don't ask you to trust us — we invite you to prove us right.
Record a data entry workflow once — then replay it hundreds of times across any machine. Fill forms, update records, process invoices without lifting a finger.
Data entry teams, accountants, back-office staff
Record test scripts and replay them on clean machines without installing test frameworks. Test across multiple OS environments with the same recording.
QA engineers, testers, DevOps teams
Automate repetitive PC setup tasks — install software, configure settings, apply policies. Plug the Pi into each new machine and let it do the work.
IT admins, system administrators, MSPs
Automate tasks on machines where you can't install software. POS terminals, lab computers, public kiosks — if it has a USB port, you can automate it.
Retail, healthcare, manufacturing operators
Air-gapped networks where no software can be introduced. The Pi acts as a simple USB peripheral — compliant with the strictest security policies.
Government, military, financial institutions
Automate repetitive compliance workflows — generate reports, check configurations, run standardized procedures. Same steps, every time, with zero human error.
Compliance officers, auditors, regulated industries
Software-based automation tools like AutoHotKey, Macro Recorder, or RPA platforms require installation, admin rights, and often cloud access. 2automate doesn't.

Plug the Pi into any computer. Select a session, press Play. The Pi types and moves the mouse exactly as you did — the PC thinks it's a human.
Chain multiple sessions together, add delays, create loops. Build sophisticated automation from simple building blocks.
One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No recurring fees. Your license, your device, forever.
Hak5 USB Rubber Ducky: €100+ for keyboard-only injection, no recording, no mouse, requires scripting
Software macro tools: €38–400/user, requires installation, admin rights, doesn't work on locked-down PCs
2automate Starter + Pi Zero 2W hardware: under GEL 55 total for full hardware-level automation with visual recording, mouse support, and a web dashboard
Every license is a one-time purchase. After your update year ends, your version keeps working forever — no kill switch, no degradation. Renew only if you want the latest features.
2automate is actively developed. Here's what we're working on.
Start and stop recordings, trigger playback, and select sessions with voice commands. Fully offline speech recognition — no cloud processing.
Define automation goals instead of recording steps. Autopilot analyzes the screen and executes actions intelligently — no pre-recorded sessions needed.
