smartphone or tablet. Via the straightforward user interface
MacroDroid makes it possible to build fully automated tasks in just
a few taps.
A few examples of how MacroDroid can help you to get automated:
# Auto reject incoming calls when in a meeting (as set in your
calendar).
# Increase safety while commuting by reading your incoming
notifications and messages (via Text to Speech) and send automated
responses via email or SMS.
# Optimize your daily workflow on your phone; switch on bluetooth
and start playing music when you enter your car. Or switch on WiFi
when near your house.
# Reduce battery drain (e.g. dim screen and switch Wifi off)
# Saving on roaming costs (automatically switch off your Data)
# Make custom sound and notification profiles.
# Remind you to do certain tasks using timers and stopwatches.
These are just a few examples out of limitless scenarios where
MacroDroid can make your Android life a little easier. With only 3
simple steps this is how it works:
1. Select a Trigger.
The trigger is the cue for the macro to start. MacroDroid offers
over 80 triggers to start your macro i.e. location based triggers
(like GPS cell towers etc) device status triggers (like battery
level app starting/closing) sensor triggers (like shaking light
levels etc) and connectivity triggers (like Bluetooth Wifi and
Notifications).
You can also create a shortcut on the homescreen of your device or
run using the unique and customizable Macrodroid sidebar.
2. Select the Actions you like to automate.
MacroDroid can perform over 100 different actions that you
typically would do by hand. Connect to your Bluetooth or Wifi
device select volume levels speak text (like your incoming
notifications or current time) start a timer dim your screen run
Tasker plugin and many more.
3. Optionally: Configure Constraints.
Constraints help you to let the macro fire only when you want it
to.
Living near your work but only want to connect to your company’s
Wifi during work days? With a constraint you can select specific
times or days that the macro can be invoked. MacroDroid offers over
50 constraint types.
MacroDroid is compatible with Tasker and Locale plugins to expand
the range of possibilities even further.
