AutoMatrix

Task automation and focus modes for Android. Free, offline, and open source.

AutoMatrix turns your phone into an automated, distraction-free environment. Create routines (trigger → condition → action) and focus modes that reconfigure your device in one tap — silencing notifications, adjusting volume and brightness, enabling Do Not Disturb, and more. Everything runs 100% on your device. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.

Think of it as the middle ground between iOS Focus Modes and full automation suites like Tasker or MacroDroid — simple enough to set up in a minute, powerful enough for real workflows.

Features

Focus Modes

• One-tap device profiles: Work, Study, Sleep, Driving, Gaming and custom modes
• Persistent lock-screen banner with End Early and Mute 30 min actions
• Quick Settings tile and a home-screen widget for instant switching
• Automatic revert: settings restore when the mode ends

Routines (Automation)

• Triggers: time schedules, battery level, charging state, Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices, headphone plug, screen on/off, boot completed, app launch (accessibility), NFC tags, calendar events
• Conditions: combine triggers with All (AND) / Any (OR) logic and priorities
• Actions: ringer mode, DND, media/ring volume, brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, launch app, notifications, and more — with restore-on-exit support
• Ready-made template gallery: Sleep Mode, Morning Routine, Battery Saver, Commute, Security Guard and others

Triggers without opening the app

• Flip to Shhh — place the phone face down to silence and focus
• Shake gesture to run your top routine
• Notification triggers — react to notifications from any app, matching the title or text (chat apps like WhatsApp supported, including message updates)
• NFC stickers (write them right inside the app)

Privacy & Design

• Zero analytics, zero trackers, fully offline automation
• The only network use is the manual Check for Updates action in Settings — nothing is ever sent anywhere
• Monochrome black & white interface with a true-black OLED dark theme
• System / Light / Dark theme modes
• JSON backup export & import — your data is yours

Reliability

• Guided battery & startup walkthrough for Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus, Vivo and stock Android
• In-app update check so sideloaded installs never go stale
• Optional 3-step onboarding that explains permissions up front

Download

Grab the latest signed APK from Releases:

1. Download AutoMatrix-v1.1.0.apk
2. Open it and allow "Install unknown apps" for your browser/file manager
3. Done — the app requests permissions progressively as you use features

The Play Store bundle (.aab) is also attached to each release.

Requirements

• Android 7.0+ (API 24); optimized for Android 13–16
• Optional hardware: NFC (for tag triggers), accelerometer (gestures)
• Optional access: Notification listener, Accessibility (app-launch triggers), calendar — all off by default and explained in-app in the Permission Center

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/Shishir-ip/AutoMatrix.git
cd AutoMatrix
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease

• Requires JDK 17+ and the Android SDK (API 36). local.properties or ANDROID_HOME must point to your SDK.
• Without a signing key, the release build falls back to debug signing, so assembleRelease works out of the box.
• To produce your own signed build: place automatrix-release.jks at the project root and provide AUTOMATRIX_STORE_PASSWORD, AUTOMATRIX_KEY_ALIAS, AUTOMATRIX_KEY_PASSWORD (environment variables or Gradle properties).

Run the tests:

./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest
