MacroDroid - Device Automation

MacroDroid is the top automation app for Android, boasting over 10 million downloads. With its user-friendly interface, MacroDroid simplifies the process of automating tasks on your Android smartphone or tablet, allowing you to create fully automated tasks with just a few taps.

Here are some ways MacroDroid can streamline your daily activities:

• Automatically reject incoming calls during meetings scheduled in your calendar.
• Enhance safety while commuting by using Text to Speech to read your incoming notifications and messages, and send automated responses via email or SMS.
• Optimize your daily workflow by automatically turning on Bluetooth and starting music when you enter your car, or enabling WiFi when you're near your home.
• Reduce battery consumption by dimming the screen and turning off WiFi when necessary.
• Save on roaming costs by automatically switching off your data connection.
• Create custom sound and notification profiles.
• Set reminders for specific tasks using timers and stopwatches.

These examples barely scratch the surface of what MacroDroid can do to make your Android experience smoother and more efficient. Here’s how you can start automating with just three simple steps:

1. Select a Trigger: This is the cue that initiates your macro. With over 80 triggers available, such as location-based triggers (GPS, cell towers), device status triggers (battery level, app starting/closing), sensor triggers (shaking, light levels), and connectivity triggers (Bluetooth, WiFi, notifications), you can set macros to start at the perfect moment. You can also create a shortcut on your home screen or use the customizable MacroDroid sidebar.
2. Choose Your Actions: MacroDroid offers over 100 different actions that you can automate, from connecting to Bluetooth or WiFi devices, adjusting volume levels, speaking text (like incoming notifications or the current time), starting timers, dimming the screen, to running Tasker plugins and more.
3. Optionally Configure Constraints: Constraints ensure your macros run only under specific conditions. For instance, you can set your macro to connect to your company's WiFi only during workdays. MacroDroid provides over 50 types of constraints to fine-tune when your macros execute.

MacroDroid is also compatible with Tasker and Locale plugins, expanding your automation possibilities even further.

For Beginners:

MacroDroid features a step-by-step Wizard to guide you through setting up your first macros. You can also use pre-existing templates and customize them to suit your needs. The built-in forum connects you with other users for support and learning.

For More Experienced Users:

Advanced features include the use of Tasker and Locale plugins, system and user-defined variables, scripts, intents, and advanced logic such as IF, THEN, ELSE clauses, and the use of AND/OR conditions.

The free version of MacroDroid is ad-supported and allows up to 5 macros. The Pro version, available for a one-time fee, removes ads and offers unlimited macros.

Automatic File Backup:

Easily create macros to backup or copy your files to a specific folder on your device, an SD card, or an external USB drive.

Accessibility Services:

MacroDroid utilizes accessibility services for certain features like UI interaction automation. The use of these services is entirely at the user's discretion, and no user data is obtained or logged from any accessibility service.

Wear OS:

The app includes a Wear OS companion app for basic interaction with MacroDroid, though it's not a standalone app and requires the phone application to be installed.
