Phantom Sidekick is a macro utility that can be used to automate any Windows task. Actions can be recorded or scripted and played back with the click of a keystroke. The program allows you to automate any task - from logging in to an e-mail account or backing up files to more complex operations such as automating a commonly used document formatting or chart creation process. Macros can also be scheduled to run using the built-in scheduler for unattended task automation. The Macro Manager and Macro Wizard provide a simple interface for macro creation. More advanced users can script complex macros using the powerful Phantom automation language. Macros can also be created using the Macro Recorder, where Sidekick records actions as a Phantom script.
