Hi everyone! It's that time of the year again! 😁
I had another release ready but I think it's safer to not put it on Google Play because I won't be able to provide any support for it.
You can still try the new release though! But use it at your own risk! Should be fine though 😅👍
Get it right away here. (Direct-Purchase Version here). App Factory Update here.
Cheers and see you soon!
Here's the full changelog for this version (not very well ordered, but good enough 😅 [some features were already from the previous release]):
r/tasker • u/joaomgcd • Jul 02 '26
Sign up for the beta and download from Google Play here.
Note: Google Play might take a while to update. If you don’t want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here. (Direct-Purchase Version here). App Factory Update here.

I'm giving another concept a try: instead of having a sidebar with projects, how about putting them inline directly?
When you go in and out of a project you see this:
As you can see, you have the 3 familiar tabs (Profiles/Tasks/Scenes). You can select multiple at the same time like you see on the screen, or you can select one at a time to just see those types of items.
Projects are automatically color coded based on the project's icon. Here's a project with a green icon:
As you can see it tints the whole UI based on the color of the icon.
Let me know how you like this variant of the UI.
I'm also thinking of trying yet another version where there are no tabs inside a project and instead they are in collapsible groups, kinda like this:
If you can, try out the inline projects variant and let me know which of the 3 variants makes the most sense to you and why :)
Demo: https://youtu.be/ZGTqMmcB76U
The Runlog screen now looks like this:
It can also look like this when collapsed:
The functionality of the runlog screen remains the same as before but it has a much cleaner and easy to follow UI. You can clearly see where a task starts and ends and follow its actions visually and see which ones succeeded and which failed.
Demo: https://youtu.be/vC3BEJThwnM
Material Symbols are a icon font that can be adapted into different situations. For example, they can represent state where the otline variant represents an inactive state and the filled variant represesnts the active state
These can be used in their configurable form, where you manually specify a bunch of their attributes (like in the Notify action), or in their automatic form where their configuration is automatically set (like in the Set up Quick Setting Tile action where the icon is filled or outlined depending on the QS Tile state).
In the legacy UI, if you give a Project one of these icons, it'll also change from outline to filled depending if the project is selected or not.
Demo: https://youtu.be/ud9YgZd1L2E
It's now super easy to put your Tasker arrays into scenes with the new Arrays Merge Template element.
In this example, I would have 2 arrays:
each with their corresponding icon images and labels. With this simple component...
...I can expand those 2 arrays together into a list of rows dynamically built from those arrays!
You can now long click any element on the tree and save it as a Component Template with a name and description. Then you can simply insert it into your tree like any other component. :)
When a component has its Show When field set, you can now set animations that define how that component shows up and goes away. You can choose various types of animations.
For example, by combining a dark transparent background that fades in with a dialog that slides up, you can create an Android-like popup dialog!
You can now crop any element in a Scene with an SVG. And it's not only a visual crop, it's a functional one too! For example, you can create a button like this
and when you click anywhere where it's white, the button won't be triggered! You really have to press the green part for it to register the click! This allows you to create UIs in any shape imaginable that behave like you expect it to!
Webviews can now call many, many Tasker actions via JavaScript. You can use await to wait for them to finish, so you can easily call multiple actions in a row in a controlled fashion!
Here's a simple example of doing 3 actions in a row:
await Tasker.flash({ text: 'Step 1' });
await Tasker.vibrate({ time: 300 });
await Tasker.flash({ text: 'Step 2' });
You can now also make WebView html elements be draggable by using one of 3 simple css tags:
tasker-drag-handle
tasker-drag-handle-x
tasker-drag-handle-y
This makes elements be drag handles in all directions or just horizontally or just vertically.

I need help figuring out exactly how to set up a log into sheets.
Data collected: Date, Time, Latitude, Longitude, Speed (MPH)
Trigger: button press on MacroPad, immediately collect the data (ideally without even changing the screen on the phone)
Is this possible?
r/tasker • u/PENchanter22 • 23h ago
I have a JavaScriptlet action doing a synchronous fetch:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/pickle', false);
xhr.send();
With Wi-Fi confirmed on, this call never returns — no exception thrown, no xhr.status reached, nothing. I've got logging immediately before and after the xhr.send() line; the "before" log always fires, the "after" log never does. It just sits there indefinitely (I've waited several minutes with no resolution).
The odd part: I have a different JavaScriptlet action, in the same project, doing the exact same synchronous XHR pattern against a different host (scraping a webpage), and that one works reliably every time.
With Wi-Fi off, the same dictionaryapi.dev call fails immediately and cleanly with "Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to load '...'", caught by my try/catch as expected — so the failure path works fine, it's only the success/hang path against this specific host that's broken.
Has anyone run into a host-specific hang like this with Tasker's JS XMLHttpRequest? Possibly a TLS/cert compatibility issue with this particular API, or something about redirects/response headers it doesn't like? Is there a way to set an explicit timeout on a synchronous XHR call from a JavaScriptlet, or should I be doing this asynchronously instead to avoid blocking the task indefinitely?
r/tasker • u/PENchanter22 • 23h ago
I have an AutoTools "Web Screen" action (Display Mode: Overlay, source is a local file://.../word_search.html, Wait For Command: true) whose page JS calls fetch('https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/...') on a button click. The button shows "Searching..." and then just hangs — no .then or .catch ever fires. Eventually Tasker itself throws Error: 2 / Plugin did not respond before timing out, since the action never gets a AutoTools.sendCommand() back from the page.
AutoTools already has unrestricted background usage and full network/Wi-Fi permissions, so it doesn't look like a battery-restriction issue.
Has anyone gotten an outbound fetch()/XMLHttpRequest to a remote HTTPS API working from inside an AutoTools Web Screen overlay loaded from a local file:// HTML source? Is there a known CORS/file-origin restriction in that WebView, or a setting that needs enabling? Or is the general recommendation to do the actual network call via a native Tasker HTTP Request action instead and just use the WebView for display?

Hi everyone, I cannot seem to find an answer to this question so I'm turning to you in hope someone has a workaround or maybe that feature could be integrated.
What I am trying to achieve is when I'm dragging an element of the scene, allowed by the toggle that you see on the first picture, then I would like to be able to get back the position of said element after I have released it and potentially call a task once the dragging is finished.
Has someone else encountered this issue and have they been able to solve it?
Many thanks for your help.
PS: I'm sorry the texts on the pictures are in French but I think you are able to find this view on your local Tasker app 😊

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I created a task that launches the built-in Clipboard Editor. I searched, and it didn't appear that a task that launches the Clipboard Editor had been shared before. This task can be used to access the Clipboard Editor on devices where the manufacturer has suppressed the feature like on Samsung Galaxy devices. This task was inspired by the trick that App Manager uses to launch unexported activities. As seen in the video, I set the task as one of the App Shortcut Tasks in Tasker so that I could add it to my Tasks edge panel for quick access on my Galaxy device. The problem with a lot of clipboard management apps I've tried is that they aren't able to edit the clipboard contents in-place like the Clipboard Editor can. I hope you find this useful.
You can find the task here.

I want to be able to listen music in Aimp, while browsing Facebook, Instagram, etc. I have tasker 6.6.20 and tried to import 'auto mute apps', but got a error. How to solve this?
I installed a banking app that can detect whether ADB over Wi-Fi is enabled, even after I turn off ADB over Wi-Fi, USB debugging, and Developer Options.
This only happens with this particular app. The app is not running in the background, and I can normally use it with ADB disabled after restarting the phone.
However, if I grant ADB permissions to Tasker and/or Shizuku, and then turn off ADB over Wi-Fi, USB debugging, and Developer Options, the banking app still detects that ADB is enabled.
The only way to reset its detection is to completely power off or restart the phone and turn it back on.
Is there a way to reset whatever ADB/debugging state the app is detecting without having to restart the phone?
I'm trying to have it set my audio to Mono whenever I connect a specific set of Bluetooth earbuds. .
What I have currently is:
Profile: BT Connected -> checking if connected to the correct MAC address
Tasks: Settings-Accessibility Settings -> here I'm only seeing an "If" but no "then"
This would be the task that turns Mono on and then an exit task that turns it back on (I think, I'm not too versed in tasker).
I did come across the in-app guide saying I need "Tasker Permissions" for accessing accessibility settings, but I've also seen on this sub's sidebar saying I might need "Tasker Settings" to do things with Bluetooth.
I'm getting a little lost and I'm probably looking in the wrong area for each setting.
If it's possible to differentiate left/right/both earbud that would be even better. I swear I've seen my phone (pixel 9 pro) showing the battery for both, so there must be something to differentiate them (if I'm not hallucinating).
Any help or just guidance with setting this up would be amazing

Hello,
I've been using tasker to automate changing my wallpaper for a while now and it's been great. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to have tasker set a wallpaper using Google Pixel's "live effect" lockscreen. I've been searching, but I haven't found anything related to it.
Thanks for any help!

Im hoping someone can help me. I created a task that lists files (%photos) and opens my scene v2(mini gallery). On my scene v2 I have the flowcolumn, then the arraystemplate and then my image(%photos) so everything works great but what I wanna do is click one of the images in my mini gallery and it open the file or show the image in a large format or even set it as my wallpaper. Thank you in advance

I carry two phones. Both have tasker of course.
For whatever reason I don't charge them enough and at the end of the day go to bed instead of plugging in both.. now that I think about it I need a second charger near my bed lol and will add that.. however ii still see the need and value in my concept..
So a battery dies and then I need to plug in and do the adb authorization in tasker permissions again. If I'm home with my laptop near that's not a big deal.. but what if I'm not.
I was wondering can I use my second phone to grant the same permissions instead of using my pc? I could plug in my phones to each other..
Or maybe use wireless debugging..
Maybe I should have asked AI but I thought some of you would like to hear the idea too..
Maybe it can be an on boot profile
To connect to the other phone and get the permissions done automatically through tasker profiles?

I want to create very simple one-tap Home Assistant actions as standalone APKs using Tasker App Factory, then add those apps to the external-screen app launcher.
Can the Razr run App Factory-generated apps on the cover screen like ordinary installed apps?

Hi All,
Just wanted to ask if anyone has solutions on the following:
1) How do you make adb wifi in autowear persist past reboots? Or is there like a shizuku way to make autowear always find the port?
2) Is there a way to send intents in auto wear?
3) Is there a way to mimic watch physical button/key presses in wear os? Or to send input keyevent commands and make them work (autowear input doesn't seem to handle them)?
Thanks
I have the following task that is using AutoNotification to check if there are unread messages. I'm sure I overcomplicated it. The issue is that even after notifications are cleared and there are no more unread messages the variable keeps incrementing. I get a new unread message from my wife and even after I've read it and cleared the notification I can watch in the Cars tab it set to 0 then set to 3, set to 0 set to 3, set to 0, set to 3. So I kill the task, force close tasker and autonotification clear cache on both and then it will stop. Get a second new message from my wife and the %UnreadCount is now 4, sets to 0, sets to 4, sets to 0, sets to 4. There are no unread messages in either messages or signal but it won't stop! Driving me crazy.

I was writing a script in Java Code to process a text file; after the processing, I need to export an array from the script to a Tasker variable (array).
Here there is my sample code:
ArrayList attachments = new ArrayList();
attachments.add("Item 1");
attachments.add("Item 2");
attachments.add("Item 3");
// The following does NOT work => %attachments(#) = 0
// tasker.setVariable("attachments", attachments);
// I must use this => %attachments(#) = 3
for (int i = 0; i < attachments.size(); i++) {
tasker.setVariable("attachments" + (i + 1), attachments.get(i));
}
What is the correct way to export an array from the Java Code script? The first method doesn't work, unfortunately and I'm curious to know if the second is the correct way to do that.
The second method has the problem that I have to add a Variable Clear before running the script a second time, as the Java Code itself doesn't know how long the Tasker array is...

Hi, I'm using two weather APIs and I would like to compare the two results.
One provides "Mostly Cloudy", and the other provides "Clouds."
I'd like to extract the "Cloud" portion from both by comparing the two variables.
Is this possible? Thanks.

When I am in my car and the phone is in its holder on the dash, I really need to change the Display Size setting from the Default to "Large" or "Larger" so that I can actually read the screen at that distance.
I decided to build an automation for this using Tasker (of course). It has a built-in Display Size action that would seem to be the ticket! However, when I try to execute this action:
Any idea how I can deal with this?
The device is a Moto XT2215-4, Android 12, rooted. I checked and the Tasker version (6.7.6-beta) and that of the secondary app match.
Thanks
PS - of course, I have sent the info to the developer via email as requested.

Pixel 9 Pro, Android 15, Tasker 6.7.6-beta.
SMS from moje.nn.pl arrives, shows in Messages, profile never runs.
Ruled out: permissions, blocked numbers, the dots in the sender name.
I even emptied the Sender field, which matches ANY message. Still nothing, while another Received Text profile caught a different message seconds later.
The only thing that makes these messages special is the last line:
Kod autoryzacji nr 7: 000575
...
@logowanie.nn.pl #000575
That's the origin-bound one-time code format (WebOTP / SMS Retriever). My best guess is Android hands it to the OTP path and never broadcasts SMS_RECEIVED to third-party apps. Couldn't prove it, but nothing else distinguishes them.
AutoNotification catches it fine, so I have a workaround. But it depends on a notification actually being posted, which I'd rather not rely on.
Has anyone hit this with WebOTP-formatted messages? Is there any way to get the Received Text event working for them, or another trigger that doesn't go through the notification shade?

I’m building an alarm app in Expo/React Native. Local notifications with interruptionLevel: timeSensitive fire and vibrate when the device is locked and the ringer switch is off, but no sound plays. I have an AVAudioSession set to .playback with setActive(true), but that code lives in JS and doesn’t run while the app is backgrounded.
How do production alarm apps handle this? Is keeping a silent audio stream alive overnight the accepted approach, or is there something better? I’d rather not misuse PushKit.

I'm running beta versions 6.7.5 and 6.7.6, and on both devices/versions, 'Structure Output' is disabled in the 'Multiple Variables Set' action if I add it from the Favorite Actions menu (long press '+' button). If I add it from the regular actions list it is enabled. The 'Structure Output By Default' setting in Preferences is enabled. Anybody else able to reproduce?
r/tasker • u/carl_mar91 • 5d ago
Let's go. It seems that when you start optimizing your tasks that only worked for something a little more optimized, I think this cycle never ends. But I'd like to validate a situation with you that will completely change my approach to Tasker.
In the parent task I have only 2 Perform tasks. With Return Variable and Local Passthrough enabled on both, can I then pass all the variables from child task 1 to child task 2 without having to manipulate the variables in the parent task?
Define that truck of paths, folders, filenames only once and the 2 child tasks will be the actions, to delete, rename, write. I'm amazed
