i am new user of macrodroid. I just want to select homescreen as a trigger but don't know what is the application to select. I have a simple macro. I have an app that run in foreground continuously. if this app minimized or closed by any reason it wil show the home screen which there's a unique text content I used to trigger my macro which is the action is to call that app again. It works by default since "all application" is chosen. i just want to know the specific app name for the homescreen so that macrodroid works optimally as it recommended in the notes. Thank you.

It will depend on the device.

You can find it by creating a simple test macro that sets a string variable to 'Foreground app name' (select in ... menu) and manually triggering it while only homescreen is visible.

You also could test which app is in running in foreground (your launcher).

yes, I found the launcher, in my mobile called One UI Home (need to tick, it's not launchable) and it works perfectly. Thank you all for the advise.
