MacroDroid is the leading automation app for Android, boasting over 10 million downloads and offering a user-friendly platform to streamline tasks on your smartphone or tablet. With MacroDroid, you can easily create fully automated tasks with just a few taps, enhancing your daily routine and improving efficiency.
Here are some ways MacroDroid can automate your life:
- Auto-reject calls during meetings scheduled in your calendar.
- Enhance safety while commuting by converting incoming notifications and messages into 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 activating WiFi when near your home.
- Reduce battery consumption with actions like dimming the screen and turning off WiFi.
- Save on roaming charges by automatically disabling data usage.
- Create custom sound and notification profiles.
- Set reminders for tasks using timers and stopwatches.
These examples barely scratch the surface of what MacroDroid can do. The app operates on a simple three-step process:
Select a Trigger: Choose from over 80 triggers, including location-based (GPS, cell towers), device status (battery level, app activity), sensor-based (shaking, light levels), and connectivity triggers (Bluetooth, WiFi, notifications). You can also set up a shortcut on your home screen or use the customizable MacroDroid sidebar.
Select Actions: With over 100 actions available, MacroDroid can perform tasks you'd normally do manually, such as connecting to Bluetooth or WiFi, adjusting volume levels, speaking text, starting timers, dimming the screen, and running Tasker plugins.
Configure Constraints (Optional): Constraints ensure your macros run only when you want them to. For instance, connect to your company's WiFi only on workdays. MacroDroid offers over 50 constraint types.
MacroDroid is also compatible with Tasker and Locale plugins, expanding its capabilities even further.
For Beginners:
MacroDroid features a wizard that guides you through setting up your first macros. You can also use pre-existing templates and customize them to fit your needs. The built-in forum provides a platform to seek help from other users, making it easy to master MacroDroid.
For Experienced Users:
Advanced features include the use of 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 supports up to 5 macros and includes ads, while the Pro version, available for a one-time fee, removes ads and allows unlimited macros.
Support:
For usage questions and feature requests, use the in-app forum or visit www.macrodroidforum.com. Report bugs using the 'Report a bug' option in the troubleshooting section.
Automatic File Backup:
Easily create macros to back up or copy files to a specific folder on your device, SD card, or 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 obtained or logged.
Wear OS:
The app includes a Wear OS companion app for basic interaction with MacroDroid, which requires the phone application to be installed.
