Macro Express was a Windows-based application that allowed automation of routine functions, such as filling out web forms, opening programs, and performing mouse clicks,2 by means of a simple, specialized programming language with support for variables, if-then-else logic, loops and other functions.
Features included recording of the user's actions into macros, a visual programming language,3 assigning and manipulating variables, sending email, window repositioning and resizing, text file processing, and file manipulation. Macros could be launched via pressing a hotkey or typing characters, when a process starts or terminates, when a network connection has been made or released, when a file change occurred in a folder, or based on the contents of the clipboard.
Insight Software Solutions, Inc., the makers of Macro Express, closed permanently in late 2025.
