Every release of KeyRoutines, newest first. The app updates itself through the Microsoft Store.

1.0.0 ·

KeyRoutines 1.0, the first full release, now in the Microsoft Store. Build a routine once and let your PC do it for you.

Added

  • Build routines in a visual step list from triggers, actions, conditions, waits, repeats, branches and parallel steps.
  • Ready-made templates: ARC Raiders Setup, Gaming Mode, Work Mode, Download Finished, End of Day, Meeting Setup, Headset Connected and Disconnected, Stream Start, and AFK mode: one key when you step away, the same key when you're back.
  • Start routines with a hotkey, a schedule, when an app or game starts, when a window opens, a device connects, a file arrives, the display changes, your PC locks or wakes, and many more triggers.
  • Open apps and wait until they are really ready, arrange windows across monitors and save layouts.
  • Switch audio devices and volume, power plans, display mode, HDR, brightness, dark mode, wallpaper and keyboard layout.
  • Move, copy, rename and sort files, with the Recycle Bin by default and an undo journal.
  • OBS scenes, recording, sources and OBS events; Discord voice; Elgato lights; Wallpaper Engine; a Stream Deck plugin.
  • Send keys, text and clicks to desktop apps, even when they aren't in front. Games are not supported: KeyRoutines never sends input to a game.
  • Modes that turn on with one routine and put everything back when they turn off.
  • Variables, text, number, date and list steps, remembered values, and a secrets vault for passwords and tokens.
  • HTTP requests, webhooks and downloads; PowerShell, command and JavaScript steps.
  • Screenshots of a window, a region or a monitor.
  • A debugger with breakpoints and stepping, Test step and Preview run, and the Problems pane.
  • Version history for every routine, and folders with app-specific hotkeys.
  • Run history shows every step's result, how long it took and why it stopped.
  • Game-safe mode turns itself on while a game with anti-cheat protection runs: no keys or clicks into the game, no overlays over it and no reading its screen. KeyRoutines sets up everything around your games and never plays them for you.
  • A panic hotkey stops every running routine at once.
  • Imported routines start switched off and show you what they would do before they can run.
  • KeyRoutines Pro: a one-time upgrade ($29.99, for 2 PCs) that adds Modes, scripting, HTTP and webhooks, the debugger, background text and clicks, more OBS, Discord voice, Elgato, Wallpaper Engine, display mode and HDR. Paste your key in Settings ▸ Pro. Routines that use a Pro step stay saved and editable without it, and safety features are always free.
