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

Here are some practical examples of how MacroDroid can enhance your daily life:

  • Automatically reject incoming calls during scheduled meetings as indicated in your calendar.
  • Boost safety during your commute by having your notifications and messages read aloud via Text to Speech, and send automated responses through email or SMS.
  • Streamline your daily phone usage; for instance, activate Bluetooth and start playing music when you enter your car, or turn on WiFi as you approach your home.
  • Conserve battery life by dimming the screen and turning off WiFi when necessary.
  • Cut down on roaming charges by automatically disabling data usage.
  • Create custom sound and notification profiles.
  • Use timers and stopwatches to remind you of tasks.

These examples only scratch the surface of the countless ways MacroDroid can make your Android experience more convenient. The process to set up automation is straightforward, involving just three steps:

  1. Choose a Trigger: The trigger initiates your macro. MacroDroid provides over 80 triggers, including location-based (e.g., GPS, cell towers), device status (e.g., battery level, app activity), sensor-based (e.g., shaking, light levels), and connectivity triggers (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, notifications). You can also set up a shortcut on your home screen or utilize the customizable MacroDroid sidebar.

  2. Select Actions to Automate: With over 100 actions available, MacroDroid can handle tasks you'd normally do manually, such as connecting to Bluetooth or WiFi, adjusting volume levels, reading text aloud, starting a timer, dimming the screen, and running Tasker plugins, among others.

  3. Set Constraints (Optional): Constraints allow your macro to activate only under specific conditions. For example, you might want to connect to your company's WiFi only on workdays. MacroDroid offers over 50 constraint types to fine-tune when your macros run.

MacroDroid is compatible with Tasker and Locale plugins, which further expand its capabilities.

For Beginners: MacroDroid's interface includes a Wizard to guide you through setting up your first macros step-by-step. You can also utilize existing templates from the template section and tailor them to your needs. The built-in forum offers support from other users, helping you master MacroDroid quickly.

For Experienced Users: MacroDroid provides advanced features such as Tasker and Locale plugin integration, system/user-defined variables, scripts, intents, and complex logic with IF, THEN, ELSE clauses and AND/OR conditions.

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

Support: For any questions or feature requests, please use the in-app forum or visit www.macrodroidforum.com. To report bugs, utilize the 'Report a bug' option in the troubleshooting section.

Automatic File Backup: Easily create macros to back up or copy your files to designated folders on your device, SD card, or external USB drive.

Accessibility Services: MacroDroid utilizes accessibility services for certain UI interaction features. Use of these services is optional and at the user's discretion, with no user data being collected or logged.

Wear OS: MacroDroid includes a Wear OS companion app for basic interaction, which requires the phone application to be installed.
