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.

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

This might be the greatest app ever made for Android. Learning to use it takes some effort, but the payoff is incalculable. I can reliably automate 90% of what I do on my phone/tablet. Plus, third party plugins add even greater functionality. If I ever decide to get a tattoo, the Tasker icon makes my short list. If the world can have Ford, Chevy and Dodge people, there's room Tasker people.

Fantastic app that I've used for a long time. The support provided is exceptional. While you would think that an application that automated things using your phone might involve a computer science degree, Tasker does not. It allows you to "follow along" and with a bit of work there is success in just about anything you can imagine. And when you get stuck, there are lots of online resources available to help. The developer is approachable as well. I'm very happy I purchased it long ago.

I'm a bit disappointed. I bought the app outright because I hate subscriptions, but then discovered that to do useful things you need to buy separate "plugin" apps. So I bought more plugins (AutoCast, AutoApps, AutoVoice, AutoInput) and I'm still not able to do what I originally set out to do, which was to shuffle a specific Spotify playlist on Google Home/Nest speakers at a certain time each day. I personally didn't find the documentation and tutorials particularly helpful. It mostly consists of Youtube videos of someone creating very specific tasks, but too quickly and without needed context or explanation. I'm sure with enough experience people are able to create awesome tasks with this, but it's a steep learning curve. I've spent several hours on this, researching, experimenting, trying different stuff, and I can only do the most basic stuff like changing the volume of a Google Nest speaker. In my opinion this should be one app with all the functionality, not 50 apps with the functionality fragmented between them. Updated with more stars: I think my previous review may have been a bit harsh. I didn't realize some of the challenges faced by the new developer, and they were very responsive to my email. And I can't find any other apps out there with this kind of functionality, so I suppose it's fair to say this is the best in its class. In hindsight I don't regret the money I've spent so far.
