MacroDroid - Device Automation - Android Tools

MacroDroid is the easiest way to automate tasks on your Android smartphone or tablet. Via the straightforward user interface MacroDroid makes it possible to build fully automated tasks in just a few taps.

MacroDroid is an application that helps automate tasks on your Android device. It offers a variety of triggers, actions, and constraints to create personalized macros that can make your daily life easier. With only three simple steps, you can set up a macro to perform tasks automatically. The first step is to select a trigger, which is the cue for the macro to start. MacroDroid offers over 80 triggers, including location-based triggers, device status triggers, sensor triggers, and connectivity triggers. You can also create a shortcut on your device's homescreen or use the customizable Macrodroid sidebar. Next, you can select the actions you want the macro to perform. MacroDroid can perform over 100 different actions, such as connecting to Bluetooth or WiFi devices, adjusting volume levels, speaking text, starting timers, and more. It can even integrate with Tasker and Locale plugins for even more possibilities. Optionally, you can configure constraints to specify when the macro should be invoked. For example, you can set a constraint to only activate the macro during specific times or days. MacroDroid offers over 50 constraint types to choose from. MacroDroid is suitable for both beginners and more experienced users. For beginners, there is a Wizard that guides you through setting up your first macros, and you can also use existing templates and customize them to your needs. For more experienced users, there are advanced features like Tasker and Locale plugins, system/user-defined variables, scripts, and advanced logic. The free version of MacroDroid is ad-supported and allows you to configure up to 5 macros. The Pro version, which requires a one-time fee, removes all ads and allows for an unlimited number of macros. If you need help or have any feature requests, you can use the built-in forum or access it through www.macrodroidforum.com. To report bugs, there is a built-in option available in the troubleshooting section. MacroDroid also offers automatic file backup, allowing you to easily backup or copy files to a specific folder, SD card, or external USB drive. Please note that MacroDroid uses accessibility services for certain features, such as automating UI interactions. However, the use of accessibility services is entirely at the user's discretion, and no user data is obtained or logged. Lastly, there is a Wear OS companion app for basic interaction with MacroDroid, but it requires the phone application to be installed. Overall, MacroDroid is a versatile and user-friendly application that can help streamline your daily tasks on your Android device.
