About MacroDroid
MacroDroid is an Android automation app that lets you create macros from three building blocks: triggers that start a macro, actions that carry out the work, and constraints that limit when it may run. It targets people who want their phone to handle repetitive settings changes and routine tasks on its own.
Because the vendor site could not be read when this entry was prepared, only the high-level model is described here: you assemble a macro by choosing a trigger, adding one or more actions and optionally adding constraints. MacroDroid belongs to the same family of tools as Tasker, in the workflow automation and productivity categories, and runs on the phone itself as a proprietary mobile app.
