About this app

⚙No repetitive tasks for you, let your Android device handle it!⚙ Total Automation, From Settings to SMS.

Here are only some of the things you could do with Tasker. Its real power is the flexibility to combine contexts and tasks however you wish: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/exampleuses.html

☑ Automations
Make your phone a true smart phone! Why remember to change the volume every day when you leave home when your phone can do it for you?
Automate stuff based on the app you're in, the time of day, your location, your Wi-Fi network, Received SMS or Calls, the currently playing song and many other (130+) states and events!

☑ Actions
350+ actions allow you to truly customize your phone like never before! Send SMS, create notifications, change almost any system setting like Wifi Tether, Dark Mode, Always On Display, change any volume, control Do Not Disturb, open apps, file manipulation, control music playback, get your location... you get the idea. If you can think of it, Tasker can probably do it for you!
Note: root is NOT (I repeat NOT) required for majority of the functions. However, a few of the actions (like the Airplane Mode action and the Mobile Data action on some devices) require root. This is because of Android security policies that developers cannot work around.

☑ Automatic File Backups
If you set it up to do so, Tasker can automatically backup your files to a specific folder on the device, SD card, USB key or even Google Drive! This is useful if you want to keep your files safe even if you lose your phone.

☑ Download and Install APKs directly
By your request (if you set up a task to do so), Tasker can automatically check a website for updated APKs, receive those APKs from said websites and initiate installation of any files!

☑ Other Triggers
Manually trigger your actions via launcher shortcuts, quick setting tiles, widgets, long-pressing volume buttons, media buttons (like the ones on your BT headsets or headphones), Bixby button, Navigation Bar, Notifications and more!

☑ Join - Remote Tasker
Adding Join (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.join) to the mix will even allow you to trigger tasks from another Android device or PC!

☑ Scenes
Design your own UI and use it to display any info you want or trigger any task!

☑ App Creation
Create your own standalone apps to share or sell with the Tasker App Factory : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory

☑ Developer Friendly
Many 3rd party developers already allow you to perform actions in their apps and listen to their events/states through Tasker!
Check out some of them: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginlist.html
You can also call most of the Web APIs from Tasker with the powerful HTTP Auth and HTTP Request actions! Check out an example Video of HTTP Auth and Request: https://youtu.be/yAt2D1XmgUI.

It's not possible to fix problems reported via Play Store Comments so please use the "Report Issue To Developer" option in the app > Menu to do so.

Note 1: Tasker uses the BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN permission in order to provide the System Lock functionality

Note 2: Tasker uses an accessibility service for some of its features like closing the notification tray, checking which app is currently opened and more.

Ratings and reviews

It seems to have really gone from something where you could easily build your own automations, to a programming tool. Maybe my wishes have become more complicated over the years and I always need to Google how to do anything, but maybe tasker also just changed to let the users do most of the work. A simple "do something when my alarm goes off" could only be achieved with help from Google even though there is an event called "alarm clock" which doesn't appear to do anything...

A rare 5 stars from me. A bit of a learning curve, so watch some YouTube videos and this is a great app. My Tesla doesn't have SXM built in. With this App, I get into my car and once Bluetooth connects, the SXM launches, phone unlocks, mode changes to sound and Do Not Disturb will turn off if it was on. After 30 mins of videos, I can make my phone very automated.

It's a great tool for automating your phone. But it has one downside, with play pass. The Add-on Apps sometimes required for some automatic processes, aren't included / are not free to use with PlayPass, which is a BIG downer for me. I hope that this isn't how it was intended, and that there will be the possibility to use them too with PlayPass. Update: You (Developer are right) hope you are able to find maybe a different way to handle it, while not loosing out.
