Description
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.

Comments on MacroDroid - Device Automation for Android
★★★★★Lucas Scheer· Jul 1, 2026
At the start it was kinda just a gimmick but the more macros u make it exponentially gets better :) to start I would recommend a Bluetooth connection (can be specific!) trigger that with a delay (important!!!) then have it "play media" to whatever music player u use yw
★★★★★Matthew Ashton· Jul 1, 2026
Happy to pay the one-off fee. I've used Macro Droid to trigger each time the phone ip changes. It then gets that public ip and sends it to my media server at home using Webhook. On the server Caddy reverse proxy uses that ip to allow access and block all other remote ip addresses. The upshot is that I can get remote access to my Jellyfin server and hackers can't. If I'm on Wi-Fi at a friend's house I can also get access with their TV because it's the same public ip address.

Honestly, one of the easier and beginner-friendly Automatons out there. Paying for it is absolutely worth it, you can make so many helpful automations and there are also many made by others as well. Highly recommend

Gemini recommended that I use this app to suppress specific notifications from my vehicle's app (i.e. unlocked doors in my secure garage). So I purchased the no-ad version and tried it, but it didn't work. I just gave up and locked the doors/hatch in the secure garage to avoid the irritation. I uninstalled Macro Droid and the developer issued a prompt refund!
★☆☆☆☆Paul J· Jun 15, 2026
Very poor on Google Pixel 10 Pro. I don't like ads, so I bought the full version immediately. Macros are hit-and-miss at best as there are timings problems, and some send intents, for example, do not work at all, due to Android restrictions, even with Shikoku installed and paired. This is because Macro droid does not have seamless integration with Shikoku allowing such commands. It is probably OK for simple macros, but I don't need simple ones. I can't find a way of getting a refund.

App is a trial app but is not advertised/named as such. Misrepresentation is a zero rating from me, should be a breach of play store TOS too, but who knows, probably just isn't being reported or etc. enough. From what I gathered online, prior app versions were not a trial, so... that too could explain slipping such a thing in like this. (I'm not against this or any app being premium, just honestly name/advertise it as a trial though, not hard...)
★☆☆☆☆Bradley Bertrim· Jun 19, 2026
I created a Macro for an hourly chime, saved it and then was subjected to watching an incredibly obnoxious game demo... And then after found the Macro wasn't actually saved. I would be willing to pay for the app if it was good and worked but its enshitified monetization makes it unusable.
★☆☆☆☆Lt C.· Jun 19, 2026
I don't understand why to enable the airplane mode we should activate the microphone full time even if the app is off. This microphone feature should be active only if we use it, not all the time. Could you please tell us when you will fix this? Thanks

At it's core a great app, and may still work for some people. Unfortunately the new advert barrier disabling it every few days' means it won't work for what I need it for. I've used this before as a disability aid and to give myself extra emergency settings in my phone. Not being able to rely on it being switched on means I'll unfortunately have to try and find a different method. For those willing to pay, I'm sure it still works well enough, but imho no longer usable otherwise.
