I’m not aware of any great FOSS/FLOSS Tasker alternatives. There are a few options, but they will be less capable, functional, extensible, user friendly, or modern.
More direct alternatives
- Automation - Gitea repo / F-Droid
- Easer - Github repo / F-Droid
Requires a server to run automations/dcripts
- Home Assistant - Github repo / F-Droid
Requires scripts and may require a server and/or additional add-on apps
- Termux - Github repo / F-Droid
- Termux:API - Github repo / F-Droid
I believe you’re looking for Easer, though not sure how well it matches to your criteria https://github.com/renyuneyun/Easer https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/ryey.easer/
IMHO, no, and I look for one all the time, I hate Tasker, really miss Automagic -_-
I’m curious - why do you hate Tasker? I’ve been using it for years (well before Joao became the dev) and I’ve always found it supremely useful.
The UX is so terrible, I can’t figure out what’s to like about it.
It’s still a useful app, I mean it’s design is complete garbage, but you get utility.
Ah, fair enough. I’ve been using it long enough that I guess the UX doesn’t bother me any more. And the benefits from the ongoing development are still very good IMO.
After many years of using Tasker, I switched to Macrodroid.
Not quite as powerful but does 95% of what Tasker can do and the interface makes waaaay more sense, to me.
Macrodroid can also utilise Tasker and Locale plugins.
Macrodroid doesn’t seem to be opensource.
Yeah, sorry.
From what I can see, Macrodroid does not appear to be opensource, but thank you for the suggestion.
Yeah, sorry.
What’s wrong with Tasker?
It’s closed source, and it costs money.
It was buggy when I used it. Then to get rid of it, I had to reset my phone. It’s a mess.
I also was searching for an open source alternative. I came across Automate, and fell in love with it. However, it’s not open source but I highly recommend giving it a try.
