Repeat your actions in several windows
Two running profiles
The Synchronizer works with profiles that are open right now, not with the whole list. Until two of them are running, the screen asks you to launch them and offers Go to profiles.
On a plan that allows a single profile, the screen says so and offers See plans instead. The free plan gives two profiles, which is enough for one master and one target.
Starting a session
The master profile is the window you work in. Target profiles are the windows that repeat after it.
- 1
Launch two or more profiles
Launch on each card, on the Profiles tab.
- 2
Open the Synchronizer
The item under Automation in the left column.
- 3
Choose the master
Click its name under Master profile.
- 4
Tick the targets
Click their names under Target profiles.
- 5
Press Start syncing
The button at the top of the screen, next to Not syncing.
What the targets repeat
The targets repeat a typed address, clicks, scrolling, keys, pastes and text typed into form fields and the box of a post or message. The hint under Master profile names the main ones.
A click looks for a matching element on the target's page. When there is none, it lands on the same spot of the window, measured in proportion to the width and height of the visible page.
Of the keys, Enter, Tab, Backspace, Delete, Escape, the arrows, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, keys pressed outside a field and Cmd or Ctrl with A and Z are repeated, with the caret at the same place in the field as in the master. Enter in a form field submits the form in the target as well.
Before the start
Turning the synchronizer on does not move the targets to the master's page. They follow from the next address the master opens, so open the same site in the targets first or go to it in the master once syncing has started.
On the ARMANOS Browser engine the synchronizer works in the tab that is in front at the moment you press Start syncing, and on the built-in engine in the profile window that last had focus, skipping the start page window while another one is open. Bring the working tab or window forward in each profile before you press it.
Matching pages repeat best
While syncing runs
The status line shows how many windows are synced, and the button turns into Stop syncing. The master and target choices are locked until you stop.
A target keeps its own proxy, fingerprint and cookies. The synchronizer copies actions, not the profile.
How syncing ends
Stop syncing ends the session at once. Closing the master's window ends it too, and closing a target's window takes that target out of the session.
When the last target is gone, syncing stops by itself.
What this does not do
- It does not repeat mouse movement, hovering, dragging or right clicks.
- It does not type at the master's speed. A target types the same letters with keys at its own pace and can fall behind you on a long text.
- It does not repeat a pasted picture or file. Only pasted text travels.
- It does not scroll a box inside a page when the target window cannot see it. A visible box is scrolled the same distance as yours.
- It does not follow a tab opened after the start. The targets do not act in the same millisecond as the master: before each action every window waits its own pause of 100 to 600 ms.
Where this is decided
Each line below names the stand that checks it.
- A target repeats the master's click and scroll, and does not repeat a click made before syncing starts
- apps/desktop/test/синхронизатор-живьём.js
- On ARMANOS Browser the master and the targets work in the tab in front, not in a hidden one
- apps/desktop/test/синхронизатор-берёт-видимую-вкладку.js
- The repeats keep going to the tab chosen when syncing started
- apps/desktop/test/синхронизатор-берёт-видимую-вкладку.js
- On the built-in engine the master and the targets work in the site window that last had focus, not in the start page window
- apps/desktop/test/синхронизатор-берёт-видимую-вкладку.js
- Enter in a field submits the form in the target, text reaches a React field, a click lands on the same one of identical blocks, and the caret travels with the key
- apps/desktop/test/синхронизатор-повтор-в-браузере.js
- A target types the letters with keys at its own pace, pastes with the key combination and gives your clipboard back
- apps/desktop/test/синхронизатор-ведомые-настоящими-живьём.js
Questions
- Do the targets need the same site open?
- They follow from the next address the master opens. If they already show the same page, the first click looks for a matching element there.
- Can I change the targets while it runs?
- No, both lists are locked while syncing runs. Press Stop syncing, change the choice and press Start syncing again.
- A target did not click where the master did.
- Its page most likely differed: another state, a banner, a signed out account. When no matching element is found, the click falls back to the same spot of the window, and something else may sit there. If you clicked an empty spot of a card or a block, the target presses an empty spot of the same block too. When it sees only buttons and links there, it does not press at all.
- Is a password typed in the master copied too?
- Yes. Text in a form field travels, a password field included, so start syncing on a page where the targets should type the same thing.
- Does pasting work?
- Yes, for text. A target pastes the same text with the same key combination, and your own clipboard is put back right after. If you copied something new while the targets were pasting, your new copy stays and the target types its text with keys. Into a password field a target types the text with keys instead of pasting it.
- Is a session remembered after a restart?
- No. After the program restarts, choose the master and the targets again and press Start syncing.
Try it on two profiles
The free plan gives two profiles, with no time limit and no card.
