NFC Tasks

About this app

NFC Tasks is a companion app for NFC Tools.

Having the proper permissions, NFC Tasks will be in charge of the execution of all the tasks that have been previously recorded on your NFC tags.

To write and configure tasks on your NFC tag, you can search and download the app NFC Tools. Once your tasks have been configured correctly, simply pass your phone over your NFC tag to perform actions.

In addition to executing your tasks, the app allows you to configure a few several settings, like user variables, the permissions, the security and notification options, and more.

Executing tasks requires a lot more rights than the simple use of NFC on your phone, this is why we decided to separate this functionality from the main NFC Tools app. Having a companion app is also quite practical : it allows anyone to perform your tasks, including tasks that are only available in NFC Tools - Pro Edition.

If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to contact us, we'll be pleased to help you.

Notes:
- To write and configure tasks, you need the main app: NFC Tools or NFC Tools - Pro Edition.
- An NFC compatible device is required.

Ratings and reviews

User must have this app to run tasks. Meaning, if you were hoping to copy to clipboard, do anything with device configuration, etc, for someone else, you first need them to install NFC Tasks app on their phone too. For instance, I wanted to keep a tag near my router to configure our network on guests phones. This only works if they also have this app installed on the phone already. The NFC Tools app description is implies so much is possible, but it all relies on all users having this installed.

App works fine. After automating a few things and using it for a couple of weeks, I think an automation app that could be tied to an icon or a pop-up menu would do the same thing, without leaving NFC chips all over the place. On top of that, most of the things I really wanted to be automated, couldn't be done because of Android. It's kind of fun for the novelty aspect, but it falls a little short in actual real-world use.

Honestly using this app makes using NFC rings and tags so much easier than having to buy an $80 usb NFC reader/writer. I have 3 NFC rings and each has it's own function which I can change at anytime with this app. Only thing I can think of that could be changed/added is being able to write more than just ntag212/213 but it's an amazingly useful app even without that.
