Automation

About this app

This program can help you automate stuff on your device.
Specify rules that trigger events under certain conditions. There are other apps that already do that, but this one has different features.

If you have feature requests, problems or questions please send me an email. If you find a bug please use the error reporting feature and give me a chance to fix the bug before you post a bad review.

Because of Google restrictions I've had to remove more and more features from the app. If you don't like that, have a look at my website.

Ratings and reviews

Can't toggle airplane mode without root (which is presumably the fault of Google, not the developer). That was the main thing I wanted it for. Aside from that it seems a decent app, good level of configuration and a lot of in-app help and explanations.

Excellent app to automate your Android device. As with any similar app, you need a rooted device due to Google's restrictions. The app may not be so intuitive as others, but gets the job done. Most importantly, it is free (of ads) and open source.

I didn't get simple task: set to vibrate between X Y, working. When turning services ON, the app crashes many, many times.
