This trigger will fire when you shake the device. Note that by default this trigger will only operate when the device's screen is on unless configured in the application trigger specific settings.
Options
This trigger has no configurable options in the macro editor. However, global settings are available in MacroDroid's Settings:
- Shake Sensitivity - Adjusts how sensitive the shake detection is (configurable in Settings)
- Sample Rate - Controls how frequently the accelerometer is polled: Slow, Medium, or Fast (configurable in Settings)
- Shake when Screen Off - Enable shake detection even when the screen is off (configurable in Settings)
- Vibrate on Shake - Provide haptic feedback when a shake is detected (configurable in Settings)
Examples
Example 1: Flashlight toggle

Notes
- By default, shake detection only works when the screen is on to conserve battery. Enable "Shake when Screen Off" in settings if you need it to work with the screen off.
- When a shake is detected and a macro fires, the device will vibrate briefly (if haptic feedback is enabled in settings) to confirm the shake was registered
- The trigger uses the device's accelerometer sensor
- Sensitivity and sample rate can be adjusted in MacroDroid Settings under the Shake Device trigger section
- Keeping shake detection enabled with the screen off will increase battery consumption
- The shake listener is automatically disabled when no macros using this trigger are enabled
