How Interval works?

Let's say I set interval to 12h for trigger!
Imagine this scenario!

At 12:00 The macro started and did some actions and the time it took is 1minute.
So, it's 12:01

So, my question is
would next interval hit at 24:00 or 24:01 ?

It's the reason why I suggested you in a previous post to use Stopwatch instead.

I think it would be of none interest.
None interest How?
Millions of peoples do the same thing which I'm doing right now.

If you know about discord bots and their vote system you won't be saying this.

People have made a lot of scripts available on Github (none interest?)

I just tried with macrodoide to save my 5m of a day which can be automatically done by macro.

That interval which I suggested is much needed and you're saying none interest...

Why not use one of them?
I can't turn on my system 24 but my mobile already stays on 24h.


By this idea we should reject macrodoide and start coding and using pre-made scripts. Bruh there is a reason we are using macrodoide because of simplicity, a non programmable guy can also make automated task easily.

There are some things here I don't understand
Your phone is on 24h but your system is not, øøhhh 🤔
You don't want to "reuse" scripts, but MD macro's is ok?

Yeah I can see that 😉

I just want to point out that I'm not interessted in going in to a longer discussion, just saying my thoughts

Here system means my pc.

Why it's not ok? What's wrong with that?

Look I'm also not interested in discussing but @dm144 said that it's not necessary feature which is kind of wrong.

I'm just correcting it. How can a action which is used by millions is of none interest. That's it

I don't mind if this feature never comes in macrodoide.
I love macrodoide it's just my request to put it on. (I knew before posting this that it will be ignored anyway).


I wonder if you guys use discord and knows about bots and voting system.
It's frustrating to vote every 12h.


Have a nice day

Sorry but as I'm not implied in voting systems nor bots (I even don't know exactly what you are speaking about) I couldn't imagine what would be the interest in clicking every 12 hours.

Nevertheless I gave you a mean to achieve that goal earlier in this thread as well as in another one, as you asked the same question in another thread.

So please don't be so rude. Mainly if you want to get help from the MD community!

Ah from what word you think I'm rude?.

See, I'm just applying that your thinking of it (none interest) is wrong.
I'm not showing any rude behavior or anything it's just I'm correcting you that your needs ain't compulsory to match with other needs.

I'm just trying to make macrodoide better and more usuable as by sharing my opinion.

How do you know someone else interest?
I'm sorry if I sound rude but you're not the judge what's useful to other what not.

Again I'm speaking facts, but it would make you sound like I'm rude which I don't understand cause anyone could be wrong.

And the thing you mention that you don't know the 12h vote thing. It's a voting system of discord which gives rewards to whoever vote and it's used by millions of people vote every 12h. You can imagine how useful it is. It's just this app is unpopular and people don't wanna try to automate things because they think it's hard.

I'm sorry, but I only correcting you.
If you think I'm acting rude just because I don't agree with your opinion it's wrong my friend.

I just want to make you understand how useful it's.

Have a nice day.

As @Dm114 Stated you can use a stopwatch trigger to achieve what you want so there is little point discussing this futher. A regular interval by defintion needs to happen at a fixed interval. What you are suggesting would be somewhat illogical and confusing for most users.

At the end of your macro, just restart a stopwatch for 12 hours and then have a stopwatch trigger that fires the macro. This will achieve what you want.

As for how you use MacroDroid that's entirely up to you, but I don't generally focus on features that are for cheating in games or fake voting in apps etc. This is not something I'm interested or have any desire to encourage. The reality is that I could probably make more money making a tool optimized for this, but for me creating a productivity tool is where my interests lie and that's where my focus will remain.

Let's end it here

Yes, The topic was already covered and it was change to whether it would be useful or not.

I'm not sure if you use discord for any case.
But again I don't wanna make this a issue.

Let me explain the macro:- You visit a website and just one click on a particular thing.

This is a repetitive task. I can consider this cheating only If I'm using a virtual computer to do this.
Also, No one having loss in it.


This is only clarification cause I think you guys is indeed not know. (don't know about discord bots). Misunderstood probably.
So, discussing this is useless.

I really respect you for developing this wonderful app as I have used other app which are so much complicated to use and I was amazed how cheap your subscription is and that also for one time subscription.

I love your app.


By the way, above talks was just debates.
More like opinions. It's your choice whether you wanna consider or not.


I'm just sharing my thoughts.

I don't wanna take more of your time so

Have a nice day!
