MacroDroid
Android automation app built on triggers, actions and constraints
What is MacroDroid?
MacroDroid is an Android app that automates a phone or tablet with macros. Each macro combines a trigger, one or more actions and optional constraints, chosen from more than 120 triggers, 200 actions and 80 constraints, with no programming needed. A built-in Template Store offers ready-made macros shared by other users. The free version is ad-supported and limited to 5 macros; a one-time Pro upgrade removes the ads and the limit.
MacroDroid has a free plan. Paid plans start at $1.49 - $10.00 per item in-app; the Pro upgrade is a one-time payment. See every plan
Good for
- Android users new to automation who want ready-made macros
- Routines based on location, time, battery level or connectivity
- People who want a one-time upgrade with no subscription
Worth knowing
- The free version shows ads and allows only 5 macros.
- MacroDroid runs on Android phones and tablets only; its Wear OS companion app needs the phone app.
- Google Play lists in-app purchases at $1.49 to $10.00 per item and does not state the exact price of the Pro upgrade.
- Some features, such as automating UI interactions, rely on Android's accessibility services, which are optional to enable.
Key features
- Triggers
- More than 120 triggers start a macro: location and geofences, battery and app launches, sensors such as shake and proximity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, notifications and webhooks.
- Actions
- More than 200 actions can be chained in one macro, including adjusting volume, speaking text aloud, sending messages, controlling media, taking screenshots and running Tasker plugins.
- Constraints
- More than 80 constraints limit when a macro runs, by day, time, location or device state: for example, connecting to office Wi-Fi only during working hours.
- Template Store
- A built-in store holds hundreds of ready-made macros shared by the community. One tap installs a template, which can then be adjusted.
- Logic and scripting
- Power users get user-defined variables, dictionaries and arrays, intents, scripting, IF / THEN / ELSE logic, AND/OR conditions and loops.
- AI actions
- Per the MacroDroid wiki, AI actions query language models, summarize and rewrite text and describe images, mostly on the device with Gemini Nano. An AI Assistant helps build macros.
