Auto tap and macros in VipMod: record taps, holds and swipes, then loop them

Idle, farm and gacha games all have a routine you end up doing hundreds of times: tap the upgrade, collect the chest, wait, then do it all again. Every game in VipMod has an auto tapper built in. You show it the routine once, either by placing dots on the screen or by playing a round while it records, and it plays the routine back for you. It works on every plan, Free included.

It starts as a switch in Game tweaks

Long-press the game's tile in VipMod, open Game tweaks and turn on Auto tap under Automation. If the game was running, VipMod closes it so the switch applies when it starts again. Open the game and a small bubble sits at the edge of the screen with two buttons: ▶ runs your routine and ≡ opens the panel where you build it. You can drag the bubble anywhere it won't cover something you need.

Simple mode: a few dots and one rhythm

The panel opens in Simple mode, which is all most routines need. Tap + to add a point, then drag the numbered dot onto the button you want pressed. Tap every sets the wait between taps, anywhere from a tenth of a second to ten seconds, and Repeat sets how many rounds to run, from 5 up to 100 or Forever.

Tap START and close the panel. The bubble counts down three seconds first, so your hand is off the screen before the first tap lands. While the routine runs, the bubble shows ■ and the number of rounds done, and tapping it stops everything.

Advanced mode: record a round instead of placing dots

Switch to Advanced when the routine needs more than taps. There you build a list of steps with + Tap, + Hold and + Swipe, or you tap Record and simply play. Every gesture you make becomes a step, along with the pause before it, until you tap ■ on the bubble. The game keeps reacting normally while you record, because the recorder only watches your touches on their way in. Afterward you can edit each step: how long a hold lasts (up to 5 seconds), how fast a swipe goes, how many times the step repeats and how long to wait after it.

The recorder understands taps, holds and swipes, all made with one finger. Two-finger gestures such as pinch to zoom aren't recorded, because VipMod replays one finger at a time, but for grinding, one finger covers nearly everything.

A set holds up to 12 steps, and each game keeps up to three sets, which helps when collecting the daily reward and farming a stage are two different routines. Points are saved relative to the screen, so a set still lines up after a resolution change. A game that rearranges its buttons when you turn the phone sideways is another story, so record in the same orientation you'll play it back in.

What stops a run

• You tap ■ on the bubble, or the routine finishes the rounds you set.
• The Auto-stop after time runs out. It's 30 minutes unless you change it in Advanced, up to 2 hours. There's deliberately no "never" option, because a tapper you forgot about drains the battery, and in an online game it can cost you the account.
• The game leaves the screen. Pulling down the notification shade, a full-screen ad opening or switching to another app all stop the run, so nothing taps while you're somewhere else.
• The game ignores the taps. A few games read the touchscreen in a way the tapper can't reach. After five taps in a row land on nothing, it stops and says "This game doesn't accept simulated taps" rather than pretending to run.

For long sessions, also turn on Keep screen on in the same Game tweaks screen. Otherwise the phone's screen timeout locks the phone halfway through and the run stops with it.

Why not a separate auto-clicker app

Auto-clicker apps need the Accessibility permission and draw on top of every app on your phone. That's broad access for an app whose only job is tapping, and some games check for those services and refuse to cooperate. The tapper in VipMod needs no permission at all. It exists inside the one game you switched it on for, and neither your other apps nor the rest of the phone ever see it. It also replays a hold for its real length and a swipe at its real speed, which basic auto-clickers often can't.

Careful with online games

Auto tapping is automation, and many online games ban automation in their terms. A perfectly even rhythm is easy for a server to spot. The Randomize option in Advanced moves each tap a few pixels and stretches or shortens each pause by up to 15 percent, so the rhythm looks less mechanical, but it isn't a disguise and we don't sell it as one. Offline, there's nobody to object. Online, the risk is yours, as the FAQ explains.

If you leave a routine running and walk away, add a playtime limit as well. The routine ends at its auto-stop time, but the limit closes the game itself, so the phone doesn't sit there warm all evening.
