Option 1: Use Chromebook’s Built-In Auto Clicker

Chromebooks come with a simple, built-in auto clicker called “Automatic Clicks.” It’s designed for people who have trouble clicking or want to automate basic mouse actions.

Here’s how to turn it on:

Step 1: Open Settings

  • Click on the time in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
  • Select the Settings gear icon.

Step 2: Go to Accessibility

  • On the left sidebar, choose Accessibility.
  • Then click Cursor and touchpad.

Step 3: Turn On Automatic Clicks

  • Find and turn on Automatic clicks.
  • Once it’s on, your Chromebook will automatically click wherever you hover your mouse for a short moment.

Step 4: Adjust the Settings (Optional)

You can customize:

  • Delay before click – how long the cursor waits before clicking.
  • Click type – left-click, right-click, double-click, or drag.
  • Revert to left click after action – goes back to normal clicking automatically.

Tip: This feature only works for mouse clicks, not for keyboard keys or screen taps.

Option 2: Use an Auto Clicker App from the Play Store

If your Chromebook supports Android apps, you can use a trusted app from the Google Play Store.

Recommended App:

Auto Clicker – Automatic Tap by True Developers Studio: Get it on Google Play

How to Use It:

  1. Open the Google Play Store.
  2. Search for “Auto Clicker – Automatic Tap.”
  3. Install and open the app.
  4. Grant permissions when asked.
  5. Set your click points and intervals.
  6. Start the auto clicker – it will begin tapping automatically.

This works great for apps and games where you need to tap repeatedly.

Option 3: Use OP Auto Clicker (Android or Chrome Extension)

OP Auto Clicker is another popular tool that works on Chromebooks through Android or the Chrome browser.

How to Get It:

You can either:

  • Download the Android version for use with Android apps, or
  • Try the Chrome extension for websites.

Note: Some Chromebooks managed by schools or organizations might block these downloads. If that happens, stick with the built-in option.

Option 4: Need to Auto-Press Keyboard Keys?

If you want to automate keyboard keys instead of clicks, you can use an app like Key Mapper from the Play Store.

It allows you to remap or automatically trigger keyboard buttons. Just note that it mainly works inside Android apps, not all Chrome windows.

FAQs

Is it safe to use an auto clicker on a Chromebook?

Yes, as long as you use trusted sources like the built-in feature or Play Store apps. Avoid random download sites.

Can I use an auto clicker for games?

Yes, for most Android games it works fine. Just check the game’s policy first.

Do I need Developer Mode?

Not for built-in or Play Store apps. Some third-party apps may require it, but be cautious because Developer Mode reduces your Chromebook’s security.

Can school Chromebooks use auto clickers?

Usually not. School administrators often block installations and Developer Mode. You’ll have to use a personal device instead.
