CONTEXT AWARE
Perform recurring tasks based on the time of day, your location (geofencing), physical activity, heart rate, steps taken, events in your calendar, app currently open, connected Wi-Fi network, remaining battery, and hundreds of other conditions and triggers.
TOTAL CONTROL
Not everything needs to be automatic, manually start complex tasks by clicking home screen widgets & shortcuts, Quick Settings tiles, notifications, media buttons on your Bluetooth headset, volume & other hardware buttons, by scanning NFC tags and more.
FILE MANAGEMENT
Delete, copy, move and rename files on your device, SD card and external USB drive. Extract and compress zip archives. Process text files, CSV, XML and other documents.
DAILY BACKUPS
Backup your apps and files to removable SD card and remote storage.
FILE TRANSFER
Upload and download files stored on Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, FTP server, and online when accessible through HTTP.
COMMUNICATIONS
Send SMS, MMS, e-mail, Gmail, and other data through the built-in cloud messaging service. Manage incoming phone calls, perform call screening.
CAMERA, SOUND, ACTION
Quickly take photos using the camera, take screenshots, and record audio or video. Bulk process images, crop, scale and rotate them then save as JPEG or PNG. Read text in images using OCR. Generate QR codes.
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Change most system settings, adjust audio volume, lower screen brightness, control Do Not Disturb, switch mobile network (3G/4G/5G), toggle Wi-Fi, tethering, airplane mode, power save mode and much more.
APP INTEGRATION
Easily integrate apps supporting the Locale/Tasker plug-in API. Otherwise, use every Android capability to do so, start app activities & services, send & receive broadcasts, access content providers, or as a last resort, screen scraping and simulated user inputs.
