taskt (pronounced 'tasked', formerly sharpRPA) is the first truly free, easy to use, and open source process automation client built on the .NET Framework in C#. taskt allows you to build a digital workforce and automate straight-forward and repetative actions with ease. Included is a "what you see is what you get" designer with dozens of automation commands and options as well as a screen recorder that records and replays scripted automation. With taskt, you can spend less time writing code and more time building functionality.
taskt typically works by replicating the processes that a person performs to achieve automation. The underlying concept in taskt is to build and execute script configurations. Each automation command has an independent definition and parameters that are required for command execution. Bot Developers chain the commands together using a rich user interface to create an automation script.
taskt can perform both attended (user present) and unattended (user not present) automation. taskt can perform automation on both web and desktop applications simulating the actions a person would take. Taskt can start and stop processes, launch VB and PowerShell scripts, work directly with Excel workbooks, and automate thick and web applications among many other functions. You can review all the automation commands by clicking here.
Whether you want to run automted processes or simply speed up business processes with a robot, use taskt to develop and deploy automation without needing to explicitly write code. Want to include code or integrate an API? taskt supports DLL integration so you can include and execute existing libraries. taskt is also open source so you can extend the existing functionality to integrate into other applications where required.
Automation tasks can be as simple or complex as you like, its all up to you!

Officially-signed builds are released generally once per week assuming there are updates. Each officially-signed build contains all updated features since the last officially signed release. Otherwise, source code in the development-branch is constantly updated 'daily' as required and is the always the latest.
Version Number Strategy (as of 1.1.0.0):
- Major - Breaking Changes or Incompatability
- Minor - Features and Enhancement Implementation
- Revision - Bugfixes, Post Implementation fixes
- Build - Reserved for Rebuilds
If you would like an officially-signed build of a specific or latest version, please create a new issue.
- Screen Recording requires Windows scale settings to be at 100%.
- Some commands (that use Windows API) may require a display driver to be invoked (Windows limitation requiring a connected screen or active display driver to render a window). This presents a problem for infrastructure such as VDI which may stop outputting to a screen.
New features and bug fixes are based on valuable community feedback, feel free to tell us what you think or how we can improve this project.
