MacroDroid - Device Automation

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

Here are some compelling examples of how MacroDroid can enhance your daily life through automation:

• Automatically reject incoming calls when you're in a scheduled meeting.
• Enhance safety while commuting by having your notifications and messages read aloud via Text to Speech, and sending automated responses through email or SMS.
• Optimize your daily phone usage by automatically turning on Bluetooth and starting your music when you enter your car, or enabling WiFi when you're near your home.
• Reduce battery consumption by dimming your screen and turning off WiFi.
• Save on roaming costs by automatically disabling data when abroad.
• Create custom sound and notification profiles tailored to your needs.
• Set reminders for tasks using timers and stopwatches.

These examples barely scratch the surface of what MacroDroid can do. With its three-step process, automating your life has never been easier:

1. Select a Trigger: The trigger initiates your macro. MacroDroid offers over 80 triggers, including location-based cues (like GPS or cell towers), device status (like battery level or app activity), sensor data (like shaking or light levels), and connectivity options (like Bluetooth, WiFi, and notifications). You can also set up a shortcut on your home screen or use the customizable MacroDroid sidebar.
2. Choose Your Actions: With over 100 different actions available, MacroDroid can handle tasks you'd normally perform manually. Actions include connecting to Bluetooth or WiFi, adjusting volume levels, speaking text (such as notifications or the current time), starting a timer, dimming your screen, and running Tasker plugins, among others.
3. Set Constraints (Optional): Constraints ensure your macros activate only under specific conditions. For instance, connect to your company's WiFi only on workdays. MacroDroid provides over 50 constraint types to fine-tune when your macros run.

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

For beginners, MacroDroid offers a user-friendly Wizard that guides you through setting up your first macros. You can also start with a template and customize it to suit your needs. The in-app forum is a great resource for getting help and learning more about MacroDroid.

More experienced users can leverage advanced features such as Tasker and Locale plugins, user-defined variables, scripts, intents, and complex logic like IF, THEN, ELSE clauses, along with AND/OR conditions.

The free version of MacroDroid includes ads and limits you to five macros, while the Pro version, available for a small one-time fee, removes ads and allows unlimited macros.

For support, use the in-app forum or visit www.macrodroidforum.com for usage questions and feature requests. Report bugs using the 'Report a bug' option in the troubleshooting section.

MacroDroid simplifies automatic file backups by allowing you to create macros that copy files to specified folders on your device, SD card, or an external USB drive.

Certain features of MacroDroid, like automating UI interactions, utilize accessibility services. The use of these services is entirely at the user's discretion, and no user data is ever collected or logged from accessibility services.

MacroDroid also includes a Wear OS companion app for basic interaction, which is not a standalone app and requires the phone application to be installed.
