About this app

⚙No repetitive tasks for you, let your Android device handle it!⚙ Total Automation, From Settings to SMS.

Here are some of the things you could do with Tasker. Its real power is the flexibility to combine contexts and tasks however you wish: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/exampleuses.html

☑ Automations
Make your phone a true smart phone! Why remember to change the volume every day when you leave home when your phone can do it for you?
Automate stuff based on the app you're in, the time of day, your location, your Wi-Fi network, Received SMS or Calls, the currently playing song and many other (130+) states and events!
Check out how easy it is to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EAbLW5WSk

☑ Actions
350+ actions allow you to truly customize your phone like never before! Send SMS, create notifications, change almost any system setting like Wifi Tether, Dark Mode, Always On Display, change any volume, control Do Not Disturb, open apps, file manipulation, control music playback, get your location... you get the idea. If you can think of it, Tasker can probably do it for you!
Note: root is NOT required for majority of the functions. However, a few of the actions (like the Kill App and Mobile Data action on some devices) require root because of Android security policies.

☑ Automatic File Backups
If you set it up to do so, Tasker can automatically backup your files to a specific folder on the device, SD card, USB key or even Google Drive!

☑ Download and Install APKs directly
By your request (if you set up a task to do so), Tasker can automatically check a website for updated APKs, receive those APKs from said websites and initiate installation of any files!

☑ Other Triggers
Manually trigger your actions via launcher shortcuts, quick setting tiles, widgets, long-pressing volume buttons, media buttons (like the ones on your BT headsets or headphones), Bixby button, Navigation Bar, Notifications and more!

☑ Join - Remote Tasker
Adding Join (https://play.rsgremote.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.join) allows you to trigger tasks from another Android device or PC!

☑ Scenes
Design your own UI and use it to display any info you want or trigger any task!

☑ App Creation
Create your own standalone apps to share or sell with the Tasker App Factory : https://play.rsgremote.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory

☑ Developer Friendly
Many 3rd party developers allow you to perform actions in their apps and listen to their events/states through Tasker!
Check out some of them: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginlist.html
You can also call most of the Web APIs from Tasker with the powerful HTTP Auth and HTTP Request actions!

Note 1: Tasker uses the BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN permission in order to provide the System Lock functionality

Note 2: Tasker uses an accessibility service for some of its features like closing the notification tray, checking which app is currently opened and more.

Note 3: Tasker uses the Health Connect heart rate permissions (body sensors on older Android) for its optional Heart Rate condition, to automate based on heart rate on devices with a heart rate sensor.
Automate everything from settings to photos, SMS to speech. ADC2 prize winner.

Not sure why my sale didn't carry over. Maybe I bought it on another Gmail account? But it doesn't matter. I have used this app so much that the £6 total of two purchases is justified. The limitations... Are not there. I have yet to come up with an idea that I haven't been able to accomplish using Tasker, and a few other miscellaneous apps. Simple, clean, and so very useful. Edit: I wrote the above in 2014. 5 years later Tasker is still an app I trust entirely to never let me down.

As others have mentioned, it can be a bit of a learning curve, but once you've got your head round Tasker, it's brilliant. I've tried other automation apps, but they're not as good. The possibilities are endless with Tasker, especially with root access. I've automated the mundane things, like putting my phone on silent when I get to work. I've also had a little fun, like when I got my mums phone to speak "your favourite son has just text you", every time I sent her a message. She saw the funny side, until she forgot to put her phone on silent in a conference. Oops!

Seems like it could be useful, but very complex, steep learning curve, not intuitive at all, and I'm a software developer myself. Sometimes things worked, sometimes not, after a while all I got was error messages and everything stopped working. The effort of setting it up was more hassle than just manually doing the tasks myself so I stopped using it.
