## Tasker for Android

Tasker — **Total Automation for Android**.

Tasker is an application for Android which performs **tasks** (sets of actions) based on **contexts** (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined profiles or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.

This simple concept profoundly extends your control of your Android device and its capabilities, without the need for “root” or a special home screen.

## How To Get It

There is a direct-download **7-day Trial** and a retail **Play Store** version.

## Usage Examples

Here are only some of the things you could do with Tasker; its real power is the flexibility to combine contexts and tasks however you wish.

- passcode-lock sensitive applications (e.g. for child safety)

- change phone settings by application, time, or location

- wake up with a random song from your music collection

- Text-to-speech; read out loud incoming SMS/phone number, WiFi/Bluetooth status, appointment times, low battery, etc.

- create a Home widget to toggle bluetooth/wifi on/off, launch wireless settings dialog, or show a menu of tasks to choose

- send an emergency SMS with your GPS location

- launch a music application when headphones are connected
