A new Beta is now out! I've added another Android 15+ feature to Tasker (which won't be available right now, cause it's still in beta) but you can try it in the Vibrate Pattern action: vibration intensity!

Also, I want to release Tasker 6.3 to the general public soon, so let me know if there are any outstanding issues in this release that were not present in the regular public release.

Just to be clear, public releases won't be "held back" by the new UI. The new UI is still very much in its early stages (and will always remain optional). Public releases will continue as usual, independently of how much of the new UI is done.

Sign up for the beta here.

If you don't want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here.

You can also get the updated app factory here.

If you want you can also check any previous releases here.

Vibration Intensity

Demo: https://youtu.be/JpilAU7jfSQ

You can now define a Vibration Intensity pattern in both the Vibrate Pattern and Notify actions. (Notify will not work yet, but only when Android 15 apps can be built normally).

This allows you to create more customized and recognizable vibration patterns like you can see in the video example.

New Tasker UI: Use Variables In Any Input Field

Demo: https://youtu.be/nb-6fhoC84A

Previously there were some fields in Tasker that couldn't be set with variables/text:

• Dropdown input fields, where you select from a list of pre-defined values
• Checkbox fields, where you enable or disable an option

You can now set both of these via variables/text directly! This gives you much more flexibility when creating your tasks!

For example, previously if you wanted a task that would change your DND mode based on a Join command, you would have to add multiple actions, one for each different DND mode, and then run the correct one, based on the command. Now, you can simply send the mode name as the command and set it in a single action!

Something like this is now possible! https://imgur.com/px9018p

Simply touch that little keyboard button that's next to the input field, and any field will be editable via text!

New Tasker UI: Collapsible Blocks

Demo: https://youtu.be/h-LTJdjTr_4

You can now collapse If, Else and For blocks in the new Tasker UI. By doing so, you can drag multiple actions at the same time and also make it easier to look at your task when it's getting too big and with multiple nested blocks.

New Tasker UI: Multiple Selection Options

Demo: https://youtu.be/6d0Lb4FS8Vs

When you long-select an action, you get a dynamic action menu at the top that shows a bunch of options and there are a few new ones!

• Select All Actions
• Clear Selection
• Select In Between Actions

Selecting in between actions is particularly handy when you want to select a bunch of actions in a row: simply select the first, then the last action and use the in-between option to select all the actions in between!

New Tasker UI: Condition Colors and Grouping

Demo: https://youtu.be/0VOD51ym5b4

You can now see, if possible, which actions will run in a task or not, depending on their If conditions.

If a condition is known to be true then the block's color will indicate that and you can know right away if it'll run

This only works if Tasker can know if it's true though. If you use local variables in your condition, Tasker can't know if conditions will be true or not until the task actually runs, so the condition colors will be neutral.

When editing a condition list, you can now also much more easily identify how conditions will be evaluated.

You now have visible evaluation groups like this: https://imgur.com/Mn9kf5Z

In the example you can now clearly see that the inner condition will be evaluated first and only then will that be combined with the outer condition.

⚙No repetitive tasks for you, let your Android device handle it!⚙ Total Automation, From Settings to SMS.

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: tasker.joaoapps.com/exampleuses.html

☑ Automations
Make your phone a true smart phone! Why remember to change the volume every day when you leave home when your phone can do it for you?
Automate stuff based on the app you're in, the time of day, your location, your Wi-Fi network, Received SMS or Calls, the currently playing song and many other (130+) states and events!
Check out how easy it is to create an automation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EAbLW5WSk

☑ Actions
350+ actions allow you to truly customize your phone like never before! Send SMS, create notifications, change almost any system setting like Wifi Tether, Dark Mode, Always On Display, change any volume, control Do Not Disturb, open apps, file manipulation, control music playback, get your location... you get the idea. If you can think of it, Tasker can probably do it for you!
Note: root is NOT (I repeat NOT) required for majority of the functions. However, a few of the actions (like the Kill App and Mobile Data action on some devices) require root. This is because of Android security policies that developers cannot work around.

☑ Automatic File Backups
If you set it up to do so, Tasker can automatically backup your files to a specific folder on the device, SD card, USB key or even Google Drive! This is useful if you want to keep your files safe even if you lose your phone.

☑ Download and Install APKs directly
By your request (if you set up a task to do so), Tasker can automatically check a website for updated APKs, receive those APKs from said websites and initiate installation of any files!

☑ Other Triggers
Manually trigger your actions via launcher shortcuts, quick setting tiles, widgets, long-pressing volume buttons, media buttons (like the ones on your BT headsets or headphones), Bixby button, Navigation Bar, Notifications and more!

☑ Join - Remote Tasker
Adding Join (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.join) to the mix will even allow you to trigger tasks from another Android device or PC!

☑ Scenes
Design your own UI and use it to display any info you want or trigger any task!

☑ App Creation
Create your own standalone apps to share or sell with the Tasker App Factory : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory

☑ Developer Friendly
Many 3rd party developers already allow you to perform actions in their apps and listen to their events/states through Tasker!
Check out some of them: tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginlist.html
You can also call most of the Web APIs from Tasker with the powerful HTTP Auth and HTTP Request actions! Check out an example Video of HTTP Auth and Request: youtu.be/yAt2D1XmgUI.

It's not possible to fix problems reported via Play Store Comments so please use the "Report Issue To Developer" option in the app > Menu to do so.

Note 1: Tasker uses the BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN permission in order to provide the System Lock functionality

Note 2: Tasker uses an accessibility service for some of its features like closing the notification tray, checking which app is currently opened and more.
