MacroDroid - Device Automation

MacroDroid stands out as the premier automation app for Android, boasting over 10 million downloads. It simplifies the process of automating tasks on your Android smartphone or tablet, allowing you to build fully automated routines with just a few taps through its user-friendly interface.

Here are some examples of how MacroDroid can streamline your daily activities:

• Automatically reject incoming calls during scheduled meetings in your calendar.
• Enhance safety while commuting by converting incoming notifications and messages to speech and sending automated responses via email or SMS.
• Optimize your daily workflow by automatically enabling Bluetooth and starting music playback when entering your car, or turning on WiFi as you approach your home.
• Conserve battery life by dimming the screen and turning off WiFi when not in use.
• Save on roaming costs by automatically disabling data usage when abroad.
• Create custom sound and notification profiles tailored to your preferences.
• Set reminders for specific tasks using timers and stopwatches.

These examples are just a glimpse into the vast possibilities that MacroDroid offers, making your Android experience more efficient and enjoyable. The app operates through three simple steps:

1. Select a Trigger: The trigger initiates your macro. MacroDroid provides over 80 triggers, including location-based triggers (like GPS, cell towers), device status triggers (such as battery level, app opening/closing), sensor triggers (like shaking, light levels), and connectivity triggers (like Bluetooth, WiFi, and notifications). You can also set up a shortcut on your home screen or use the customizable MacroDroid sidebar.
2. Select the Actions to Automate: With over 100 actions to choose from, MacroDroid can perform tasks you'd normally do manually, such as connecting to Bluetooth or WiFi, adjusting volume levels, speaking text, starting a timer, dimming the screen, and running Tasker plugins, among others.
3. Optionally Configure Constraints: Constraints allow you to specify when your macro should execute. For instance, you can set your macro to connect to your company's WiFi only during workdays. MacroDroid offers over 50 types of constraints to refine your automation.

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

For Beginners: MacroDroid's intuitive interface includes a Wizard that guides you through setting up your first macros. You can also use pre-existing templates from the template section and customize them to fit your needs. The built-in forum is a great resource for getting help from other users, making it easy to learn and master MacroDroid.

For More Experienced Users: MacroDroid offers advanced features such as integration with Tasker and Locale plugins, system/user-defined variables, scripts, intents, and advanced logic like 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, while the Pro version, available for a small one-time fee, removes ads and offers unlimited macros.

Support: For any questions or feature requests, please use the in-app forum or visit www.macrodroidforum.com. To report bugs, use the 'Report a bug' option in the troubleshooting section.

Automatic File Backup: Easily create macros to backup or copy your files to a designated folder on your device, an SD card, or an external USB drive.

Accessibility Services: MacroDroid utilizes accessibility services for certain features like automating UI interactions. The use of these services is entirely at the user's discretion, and no user data is ever collected or logged from any accessibility service.

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