What Tasker is
Tasker is a paid Android app that automates sets of actions when user-defined contexts occur. Triggers can include apps, time, location, Wi-Fi, SMS, calls, events and gestures; the listing describes more than 130 states and events. It offers more than 350 actions, including sending SMS, creating notifications, changing system settings, handling files and controlling music. Most functions do not require root, although actions such as Kill App and Mobile Data require root on some devices. Tasker supports custom scenes, launcher shortcuts, quick-setting tiles, widgets and standalone apps made with Tasker App Factory. Third-party plugins add actions in other apps and responses to their events or states. Matter devices work directly, while Home Assistant or Alexa integration is available through AutoVoice. A direct-download trial and Google Play version are offered. Trial builds expire after seven days unless a Google Play license is purchased. The listed plan costs ₹480, paid once, with a 7-day trial.
