Software: Tasker, to automate everything Android.
Alternatives: Automate, IFTTT, Llama
More details on this post, including a comment of mine detailing things that my setup does. I’ll have some posts coming up as well, regarding Tasker and checklisting to drive.
But the point is, it’s extremely powerful and flexible. There are also a bunch of plugins (some free, some paid), that expand it even more. With Termux, for example, you can even write regular Python programs to do complicated stuff as well. Pretty much anything I needed to do, I was able to do, and I keep discovering new things. You can even make pretty GUIs to go along with that!
This is the first Android app that I ever bought (and remained the only one for half a decade).
One disadvantage is that the intents system is hard to figure out in case you want to use it (I don’t use it), and another is that some of the external plugins don’t really scale well in terms of having variables set in Tasker. But it’s still a very strong rec from me.
