For KDE Plasma 6 · Wayland & X11

Click. Click. Click.
Move to stop.

A small auto clicker for Linux. Pick a spot on the screen with a crosshair, set the rate, and let it click. The real mouse always wins: move it and the clicking stops at once.

Small, and out of your way

One window with three settings. It stays on top while you work and never fights you for the mouse.

Pick the target with a crosshair

The screen dims and a crosshair with live coordinates appears – across all your monitors.

Any rate you need

1–50 clicks per second or 1–600 per minute. Switching the unit converts the value for you.

Stop after N clicks

Set an exact number of clicks, or leave it at 0 to click until you move the mouse.

Move the mouse to stop

The moment the pointer leaves the target, clicking ends. No hotkey to remember.

2-second countdown

Time to let go of the mouse before the first click. Clicking the countdown cancels it.

No setup, no root

Runs with normal user permissions. Speaks English and German, following your system language.

Five steps

After every start the rate is set to 5 clicks per second.

  1. Select targetClick the button, then click the spot. Esc cancels.
  2. Set the rateEnter a number and choose per second or per minute.
  3. Stop afterOptionally limit the number of clicks.
  4. Start clickingKeep the mouse still during the countdown.
  5. Move the mouseThat's it – clicking stops right away.

The pointer jumps to the target on every click. The target is intentionally not saved and has to be picked again after each start.

Install

The AppImage bundles all Qt libraries. Download it, make it executable, run it.

AppImage

Get the latest release, then:

$ chmod +x Autoclicker-*-x86_64.AppImage
$ ./Autoclicker-*-x86_64.AppImage

Runs on systems with glibc 2.41 or newer, for example Arch, CachyOS, Fedora 42, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Kubuntu 25.04 and Debian 13.

No FUSE on your system? 
$ ./Autoclicker-*-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

The AppImage uses Qt's “Fusion” style instead of KDE's Breeze. Everything works the same.

Build from source

Needs CMake, Qt 6 and LayerShellQt. On Arch / CachyOS:

$ sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel cmake qt6-base qt6-wayland qt6-tools layer-shell-qt
$ git clone https://github.com/dlehmann/autoclicker.git
$ cd autoclicker
$ cmake -B build && cmake --build build -j
$ sudo cmake --install build

Packages for Debian and Ubuntu are listed in the README.

KDE Plasma 6Wayland or X11. Movement detection and “always on top” use KWin scripts, so GNOME and other desktops are not supported.
Access to /dev/uinputUsually already set up on KDE, e.g. by KDE Connect or Steam. Check with getfacl /dev/uinput | grep "user:$USER".
x86_64The AppImage is built for 64-bit PCs. Other architectures can build from source.

How it works

Written in C++ with Qt 6. The KWin scripts are loaded on start and removed again on exit.

Sending clicksA virtual pointer device via /dev/uinput with absolute coordinates – works in every application, including on Wayland.
Selecting the targetA semi-transparent overlay per monitor using LayerShellQt.
Detecting movementA KWin script reports via D-Bus as soon as the pointer leaves the target.
Always on topA KWin script sets “keep above others” for the app's own window.
TimingA dedicated thread with a fixed rate. Buttons are held for 50 ms, at high rates for at most a quarter of the click interval.
