Comments on MacroDroid - Device Automation for Android

★★★★★ kyle giarde · Oct 15, 2026
This is Samsung modes and routines times 10 easy to use but the updates they been doing altering you to use AI to create macros now create custom widgets the custom drawers for quick access to whatever. If you can think macro droid can create it
★★★★★ Ben M · Oct 10, 2026
I like this application since I can replicate most of my apple shortcuts and notifications on saving battery 🔋 will increase longevity of my device. I can't wait to replicate most of my shortcuts and automations.
★★★★★ Justin Velasco · Oct 29, 2026
Amazing just wish I could use it with Android Auto. IFTTT allows for applets to be used from Android Auto, but is on a token system now. Please add Android Auto integration.
★★★★☆ Chuck · Oct 23, 2026
I just downloaded this, and it did not work on my NTP atomic time tricks but neither did adb as far as being a processing an automated settings trigger im liking it more than tasker.
★☆☆☆☆ Ben Ashley · Oct 28, 2026
Forces you to watch ads to get only a few days of usage. Otherwise, you need to buy premium, it never used to be like this.
★☆☆☆☆ Edward K · Oct 20, 2026
Pure AD-infested junk The app is full of ads, every time you try to enable a new macro, it slaps you with an AD. It stops working after a few days and asks you to buy pro, or watch 3 ads to run the macro 3 more days. This is trash, why not just lock more power user features behind the pro? Do not bother with this junk, search for alternatives.
★★☆☆☆ John Rowen Deinla · Oct 16, 2026
The flight mode function seems to always work only at first days after updating, then not functioning anymore after several days.
★☆☆☆☆ Thomas · Oct 24, 2026
Ads after u change any settings? Too frustrating to use.

Description by ArloSoft Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Turn your Android device into a smart assistant that works for you. MacroDroid is the easiest way to automate almost anything on your phone or tablet — no coding required, just a few taps.

What can you automate?

✦ Auto-reject calls when you're in a meeting (synced with your calendar)
✦ Read incoming messages aloud while driving and reply hands-free
✦ Switch on Bluetooth and start your music the moment you enter the car
✦ Turn on Wi-Fi automatically when you arrive home
✦ Save battery by dimming the screen and disabling radios at night
✦ Create custom sound and notification profiles for work, sleep, or the gym
✦ Get reminded about tasks with timers, stopwatches and location alerts
✦ Keep your storage tidy by automating file copy, move and delete tasks

These are just a handful of ideas — the possibilities are virtually endless.

How it works — 3 simple steps

1. Pick a Trigger
Choose what kicks off your macro. MacroDroid offers over 120 triggers, including location (GPS, cell towers, geofences), device status (battery, app launches, data usage), sensors (shake, light, proximity, fold angle), and connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, notifications, webhooks). You can also launch macros manually with a home screen shortcut or the customisable MacroDroid sidebar.

2. Choose your Actions
Decide what happens next. Pick from over 200 actions: connect to devices, adjust volume, speak text aloud, send messages, control media, take screenshots, dim the screen, run Tasker plugins, and much more. Chain multiple actions together to build powerful workflows.

3. Add Constraints (optional)
Fine-tune when your macros run. With over 80 constraints, you can limit a macro to certain days, times, locations, or device states — for example, only connecting to office Wi-Fi during working hours.

Designed for everyone

New to automation? Get started in seconds with the built-in Template store — browse hundreds of ready-made macros shared by the community, install one with a single tap, and tweak it to fit your needs. The in-app help and active user forum mean you're never stuck for long.

Power user? Dive deeper with user-defined variables, dictionaries and arrays, intents, scripting, IF / THEN / ELSE logic, AND/OR conditions, loops and Tasker/Locale plugin support.

Free vs Pro

The free version is ad-supported and lets you create up to 5 macros. Upgrade to Pro with a small one-time payment to remove all ads and unlock unlimited macros — no subscriptions, ever.

Wear OS Companion

MacroDroid includes a Wear OS companion app for triggering and interacting with your macros from your wrist, including watch face complications. The phone app is required.

Accessibility Services

Some features (such as automating UI interactions) use Android's accessibility services. This is entirely optional and at your discretion. MacroDroid never collects or logs any user data through accessibility services.

Support & Community

Join thousands of users in our active community forum at http://www.macrodroidforum.com — the best place for usage questions, feature requests and macro-sharing inspiration. To report a bug, use the in-app "Report a bug" option in the Troubleshooting section.

Trust & Safety: MacroDroid uses optional accessibility services for certain automations and explicitly states this feature is discretionary. Accessibility-based automation is optional, and the app notes that it does not collect or log user data through these services. The app requests a broad set of permissions typical for automation apps, including location, notifications, and system controls, which is important for full functionality but should be reviewed by users concerned about privacy.
