⚠️

Always deactivate your license before migrating or disposing of a PC

If you uninstall or discard a PC without deactivating first, you will see an "Activation limit reached" error on your new PC. Contact support if this happens.

License & Activation

I want to use makuroku on a new PC. What should I do? +
A makuroku license is valid for one PC at a time. To move to a new PC, first deactivate the license on your old PC, then activate it on the new one.

Deactivation steps (old PC):
Open the app → Settings → License tab → click "Deactivate this device"

After deactivation, enter your license key on the new PC to activate it.
I see "Activation limit reached" and cannot activate. +
This happens when a device was uninstalled or discarded without deactivating the license first.

Solution:
Please send your license key to makuroku.contact@gmail.com and we will manually release the activation. We typically respond within 24 hours.
I lost my license key. +
Your license key is included in the purchase confirmation email from Polar.sh.

If you can't find the email, log in to polar.sh/login with your purchase email address and check "Purchases" to retrieve your key.

If you still can't find it, contact us at makuroku.contact@gmail.com with your purchase email address.
I get "Invalid license key" when entering my key. +
Please check the following:

· Are you copying and pasting the key? (Manual entry is error-prone)
· Does the key contain any extra spaces or line breaks?

If the issue persists, contact us at makuroku.contact@gmail.com.

Installation & Startup

I see a "Windows protected your PC" warning during installation. +
This is a Windows SmartScreen warning. makuroku is in the process of obtaining a code signing certificate. The app is safe to use.

Steps to proceed:
1. Click "More info"
2. Click "Run anyway"

The app will function normally after installation.
The app does not launch after installation. +
Please try the following:

1. Search for "makuroku" in the Start menu and launch it from there
2. Check if your antivirus software is blocking the app
3. Confirm you are running 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 (32-bit is not supported)

If the issue persists, contact makuroku.contact@gmail.com with your OS version and any error messages.

Features & Operation

Pressing F9 does not start recording. +
Please check the following:

· Make sure the makuroku window is active (in the foreground) when pressing F9
· Check the Settings tab to see if the hotkey has been changed
· Confirm your antivirus software is not blocking the input hook

If the issue persists, please send your OS version and antivirus name to makuroku.contact@gmail.com.
Mouse movement is off during playback. +
This can happen when the display resolution or scaling differs between recording and playback.

Solution:
Enable "Relative coordinate mode" in Settings and re-record your macro. This uses window-relative coordinates, making playback less sensitive to resolution differences.
What is the difference between the Free and Pro plans? +
