Description
Bored of putting your phone on silent every time you get into the office? Tired of turning off Bluetooth to conserve battery every time juice gets low?
This app interacts with your surroundings to configure settings on your phone automatically. Combine triggers and actions to create tasks, then activate the tasks that you create with conditions that you set!
Here are examples of what you can do:
In your car: Use Bluetooth as a trigger to open GPS and launch your favorite music app
On your nightstand: Program an NFC tag to set your ringer to vibrate, dim your display and set an alarm
In your house: Use WiFi as a trigger to silence your phone, connect to bluetooth, and play your favorite songs.
The current free triggers are as follows:
-NFC -Bluetooth -Wifi
And as part of our Pro-Upgrade we also have these additional triggers:
And here are a few examples of the actions that you can perform with Trigger task launcher:
- Change WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile hotspot, airplane mode (root users in Jelly Bean and up), auto-sync, GPS and mobile data settings (root users). - Change your volumes or notification tones. - Change your display brightness, timeout, auto-rotation, or notification light settings - Check in on social media like Foursquare or Google Places - Send messages using Twitter, SMS, Email, or Glympse - Start or stop Applications (root required for stopping most applications), dock modes, open URLs, speak text, or navigate to an address - Set Alarms or create calendar events - MORE!
Trigger is a task launcher that allows you to easily program your device to do the actions you do regularly.
So go ahead and create your own combinations to automate your life. The only limit is what you can come up with!
The Wall Street Journal calls it "living in the future."
Additional actions can be found when experimental features are enabled in advanced settings. Auto lock screen and airplane mode are restricted by Android but we've created some work around solutions for these actions. (Note: They aren't 100% reliable which is why they're classed as "experimental features").
Some demos can be viewed on the application website
Note: When using NFC Tags you can create a Switch task that will toggle between two tasks with each tap.
We're always working on adding new actions to Tasks. Please get in touch if there's something you'd like to do that's not currently offered.
This application supports NFC Forum Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 Tags as well as third party NFC Enabled tags like the MIFARE Classic, DESFire, Ultralight and Ultralight C. Now supporting read-only tags & allowing you to write any amount of data to any tag using Tagstand's cloud service. This allows you to use your tags just as you would any writable tag without worrying about size.

This has got to be one of the coolest apps ever. Update: Widgets disappear from home screen upon reboot. Otherwise, this thing does all the tasks we set Task alerts for us to do, automatically. Like checking in with people regularly via automatic text etc based on your location/wifi you're on etc. Awesome automation. Turns on Bluetooth based on whatever parameter you set. Now there are even sticker things we can apparently use with NFC to tap and make the automation programmed in it run.

Great app, some small glitches. Just got Android 10 update and everything stopped working, but after creating new triggers and removing the old ones it works again. Since Android 9, editing triggers also seems to make them inoperable so getting things right first time can be tricky with complex sequences.
★★☆☆☆
Didn't work for me, I wanted to trigger the Android Auto App, whenever I connect it to my car Bluetooth connection, the UI showed this option, but didn't trigger it, I have it all the persmission it asked for, but nothing happened.....in the task list, I was able to click on run to check.my task, and it was opening up Android Auto, but when connected on Bluetooth it didn't work
★★☆☆☆
It used to be a great app and I had the pro version, but has since been abandoned, with no updates in over 18 months
★★☆☆☆
This app is dead now. I've been using it for at least a couple of years, but when I got a new phone with Android 9 the app is all over the place: importing/exporting settings no longer working, triggers don't work... it's dead
