Tasker
Amadora, Portugal
What it is
Tasker is an Android automation app that runs sets of actions when user-defined contexts occur. Triggers can include apps, time, location, Wi‑Fi, SMS, calls, events, and gestures; the listing describes more than 130 states and events. It offers more than 350 actions, including sending messages, creating notifications, changing system settings, handling files, and controlling music. Most functions do not require root, although some actions, such as Kill App and Mobile Data on certain devices, do. Tasker supports custom scenes, launcher shortcuts, quick-setting tiles, widgets, and standalone apps made with Tasker App Factory. Plugins extend actions and event responses in other apps. Matter devices are supported directly, with Home Assistant or Alexa integration through AutoVoice. A seven-day trial is available; the listed plan costs ₹480, paid once.
