MacroDroid is an Android application, which automates repetitive tasks to save time, battery and effort needed to make your phone smarter. Some examples are:
Turning Dark mode on at night and off in the morning Reading notifications so you never drain your battery by turning on the screen.
There are hundreds more tasks that can be done.
These tasks are started when certain events occur, these events are called 'Triggers'. MacroDroid supports a wide range of triggers, for example:
- SMS (text) sent or received
- Entering or leaving a location
- Time of Day.
There are also constraints, which are conditions that have to be met before the actions run, even if they have been triggered. Constraints can be applied to individual actions to skip them if needed.
MacroDroid comes with many ways to backup your progress, the first method is the import/export method which is under the orange tile from the home screen of MacroDroid, it allows you to share your macros with other devices or any app that shows in your share menu.
