What MacroDroid is

MacroDroid automates tasks on Android devices by combining triggers, actions, and optional constraints. Its product site lists more than 350 built-in triggers, actions, and constraints, and a template store lets users browse macros shared by the community. Beginners can start with templates; the app also supports power-user approaches using variables, scripting, logic, loops, and plugins. MacroDroid supports Tasker and Locale plugins, and its Wear OS companion app requires the phone app. A web Remote Control page lets users manage devices and macros and download or restore backups. Scheduled runs and app triggers are supported. The free version is ad-supported and allows up to five macros. Pro removes ads and permits unlimited macros, with no subscription listed. MacroDroid says it does not collect or store current location or location history, though location permission is used for location and geofence features. Its privacy policy says it logs crash and basic anonymous analytics data. Some features optionally use Android accessibility services; the Play listing says user data is not collected or logged through those services.
