MacroClerk iMacros alternative
iMacros is gone from Chrome. Your macros don't have to be.
iMacros was removed from the Chrome Web Store in February 2025 and its free edition was limited long before that. MacroClerk opens your .iim files, shows every command as a plain-English step and runs it again — in a modern Chrome extension.
Move a macro in three steps
- Install MacroClerk and open it from the toolbar — it appears as a side panel.
- Click Import macro and choose one or several
.iimfiles. - Check the steps, then press Play. If your macro read a CSV with
SET !DATASOURCE, load that file under Run for every row of a spreadsheet.
Each command becomes a step you can edit: change a value, map it to a spreadsheet column, move it or delete it. Steps that MacroClerk doesn't support yet are listed after the import, so nothing disappears silently.
What gets converted
| iMacros command | MacroClerk step | Status |
|---|---|---|
| URL GOTO=… | Open page | yes |
| TAG … CONTENT=text | Type into a field | yes |
| TAG TYPE=SELECT CONTENT=$Text / %value / #2 | Choose in a dropdown | yes |
| TAG TYPE=INPUT:CHECKBOX CONTENT=YES | Check / uncheck | yes |
| TAG … (no CONTENT) | Click | yes |
| TAG … EXTRACT=TXT / HREF / SRC / attr | Extract to a CSV column | yes |
| ATTR=TXT:* with POS=n | n-th element of that type | yes |
| {{!COL1}}, {{!COL2}} … | Spreadsheet columns (CSV run) | yes |
| SET !DATASOURCE file.csv | Load the CSV in “Run for every row” | yes |
| WAIT SECONDS=n | Wait | yes |
| SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT | Download CSV button | yes |
| TAB / FRAME / EVAL / PROMPT | Not yet | planned |
What's better than the old free iMacros
- Spreadsheets are included. The free iMacros for Chrome couldn't read CSV data; MacroClerk runs a macro for every row on the free plan.
- No 50-line limit on macros.
- Saving extracted data is free — results download as CSV.
- Steps in plain English instead of command lines, and a recorder that understands modern React sites.
- Whole tables in one click: pick one row, get every row on every page.
Try it with a sample
Not sure your macro will convert? Save this as sample.iim, import it, and press Play:
VERSION BUILD=1011 RECORDER=CR URL GOTO=https://books.toscrape.com/catalogue/a-light-in-the-attic_1000/index.html TAG POS=1 TYPE=H1 ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT TAG POS=1 TYPE=P ATTR=CLASS:price_color EXTRACT=TXT SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=books.csv
You'll get the book title and price in the results table, ready to download.
