The best and worst part of iPhones is they block the user from accessing system-level files. Tasker is an incredibly powerful app that dwarfs anything else on Android or iOS. If someone texted him, Tasker responded automatically with a message saying, “Sorry, I’m driving at _ miles per hour right now and can’t answer your message.” Brilliant.Ĭombine that with an app like NFC Task Launcher and NFC tags and the floodgates really open. I read a post forever ago by one Reddit user who used Tasker to detect when he was in the car. You can build elaborate systems within Tasker to do anything imaginable. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. If I received a text, then Tasker would read the contact and play the appropriate tone. For example, one of my profiles was to create custom text tones for different contacts.

On the simplest level, Tasker is an if-then machine for your phone.
