Hi all,

I've been using Tasker for a long time to do things like custom text to speech on incoming notifications, etc. I've recently picked up a Samsung Tab and was about to create some automations around Dex, but it clicked as I opened Obtainium that Tasker was closed source.

Is anyone actively using another FOSS automation app that they've had good experience with? I've heard talk of Easer, but the docs don't appear to be in english.

Thanks!

I use Easer for some automations, I never needed to check docs, the app speaks for itself. There aren't a lot of buttons in the app.

I had the opposite experience - absolutely no idea what to do when I opened the app. Eventually got something working but I think maybe one plus's os is hostile to the app's functioning too, so it didn't always work

For the most interesting options you need to be rooted.

There are like 8 buttons in the app. I just tapped through all of them, it was clear where should I select what. That graph thingy doesn't help a lot though, basically check only the options in the Data menu.
