Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don't have a use case in the beginning you'll start finding things to do with it.

What are some things you use it for if you don't mind my asking?

[โ€“] silentdon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lots of things

  • Change my ringtone based on time/location
  • Silence phone if my calendar has the word meet or meeting
  • Parse a local news website and read the headlines to me after I dismiss my morning alarm
  • Set up car mode if it is plugged in and connected to my car's Bluetooth
  • Turn on WiFi based on location
  • etc

I have a script which saves my fine location to a Google sheet when I disconnect from my car's Bluetooth. If, like me, you are the sort of klutz who can lose their car in a two-car garage.....
