A set of mouse/keyboard actions Java program

I want to build a program that does the following:

  1. User clicks on a button (like on a GUI) to record his/hers movements. Then, the user does a set of actions on the computer - this could be clicking on file explorer and deleting/creating/renaming a file, opening Chrome or another program etc... basically a few keyboard/mouse movements.

  2. Then the user can specify a time at which the program should replicate this recording of movements. (The program hasn't been stopped and it uses the current time of the computer's clock to know when to do it)

Can I do something like this in Java? Searched quite a bit and couldn't see something relevant. The only thing that came to my mind since I am still a beginner is MouseEvents etc but I don't think these can be done outside the frames of GUI.

Thanks in advance I am keen to build this project!

JNativeHook is worth looking into for this and similar purposes. I found it helpful.
