MacroDroid - Device Automation

MacroDroid stands out as the number one automation app for Android, boasting over 10 million downloads worldwide. It’s the simplest and most intuitive way to automate tasks on your Android smartphone or tablet. With its user-friendly interface, MacroDroid enables you to create fully automated workflows in just a few taps—no technical expertise required.

Here are just a few ways MacroDroid can streamline your daily life:

# Automatically reject incoming calls during meetings (synced with your calendar).

# Enhance safety while commuting by using Text-to-Speech to read your incoming notifications and messages aloud, and even send automated replies via SMS or email.

# Optimize your daily routine: enable Bluetooth and start playing music when you get into your car, or automatically connect to WiFi when you're near your home.

# Reduce battery consumption by dimming the screen or disabling WiFi when not in use.

# Avoid roaming charges by automatically turning off mobile data when traveling abroad.

# Create custom sound and notification profiles tailored to your schedule or environment.

# Set reminders for recurring tasks using timers and stopwatches.

These are just a few examples of how MacroDroid can simplify your Android experience. Creating a macro is easy—just follow these three steps:

1. Choose a Trigger
The trigger determines when your macro will activate. MacroDroid offers more than 80 different triggers including location-based options (GPS, cell towers), device status changes (battery level, app launch/close), sensor inputs (device shake, ambient light), and connectivity events (Bluetooth, WiFi, notifications).

You can also place a shortcut on your home screen or access macros instantly through the customizable MacroDroid sidebar.

2. Define Your Actions
Actions are what MacroDroid does once the macro runs. With over 100 available actions, you can do almost anything you'd normally do manually—connect to Bluetooth devices, adjust volume settings, speak text aloud (like reading your notifications or current time), start a timer, dim the screen, run Tasker plugins, and much more.

3. Set Constraints (Optional)
Constraints let you fine-tune when your macro should execute.

For example, do you only want to connect to your office WiFi on weekdays? You can set a constraint based on specific times or days of the week. MacroDroid supports over 50 types of constraints to help you refine your automation perfectly.

MacroDroid seamlessly integrates with Tasker and Locale plugins, expanding your automation capabilities even further.
