Sneak Peek - Join on Firefox And Edge Browsers

Ok, so I thought I'd go ahead and really try to make this a reality. Hopefully it works better this time :)

This doesn't require you to use extensions at all, just a plain old browser. Hopefully it works.

To try out Join on Firefox and Edge:

Sneak Peek - New Tasker Version

First of all, I just want to say that I'm really sorry about the lack of news lately. It's been a hectic couple of weeks and just today I was able to almost finish responding to most of the pending support requests.

I'm still not able to work like I want to but at least I'm able to do new builds now.

This means that you're getting a new Sneak Peek on the new features for the next Tasker beta before everyone else! 😁

Away Because Of Coronavirus

Hi! 

Me and my family decided to go away for a while. We're not showing any symptoms ourselves but to be safe we're going to stay away for about a month.

Since I'm away from my workplace this unfortunately means that I won't be able to create new builds for my apps, I have limited internet access so I can't upload large videos and I don't have much time for support requests.

I only have my laptop with me, hopefully I can do some basic stuff on it.

But hey, at leas...

Sneak Peek - ADB Wifi Helpers

Check out the video above to see how you can easily toggle Airplane Mode! Yes, Airplane Mode is toggleable with the ADB Wifi action after all! 😄

You can also call any of the endless actions that Android servi...

Sneak Peek - New Tasker

Today I'm bringing you something that could be big. You know how some stuff is only available with a rooted device? This release tries to work around that with the new ADB Wifi action!

To use it, you need to connect your phone to your PC and run the adb tcpip 5555 command. After that you can use the ADB Wifi action to run any command that you can run on a PC!

For example, you could

  • Give or revoke app permissions

Sneak Peek - New Tasker with game changing new feature

Today's the end of the week for me (I won't be able to work tomorrow) so it's time for a special treat. 

This could potentially open up so many new situations that I feel giddy thinking about it 😁

Tasker now has a Logcat Entry event! If you're not familiar with it, Logcat is a place where Android and all its apps put logs of stuff that's happening in the apps and now Tasker can react to it!

Just to give you a few examples of stuff that was done with ...

Sneak Peek - New Tasker Features

It's Friday and it's time for a sneak peek of what's coming up next! :)

I've added 3 new features that you can preview before everyone else:

  • Get Current Location: will allow you to get a lot of data about the current location, including latitude,longitude, accuracy, altitude, speed, bearing and time. This action allows you to specify a minimum accuracy for the location gotten, so let's say you want to get your location with a minimum 10 meter accuracy just u...

I was able to get it Tasker clipboard access working on Android 10! :) 

It's still rough right now but seems to work alright. 

This is how you get it working:

Reddit Patreon flair going away

Unfortunately Patreon decided to remove this feature. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it, sorry :(

Here is their message:

 

Hello!

On September 20, 2019, Patreon and Reddit will no longer be supporting the patron flair feature. After nearly a year of working with this integration, it’s simply not being used enough and doesn’t provide creators and our communities with the value we expected.

Back from vacation! (almost...)

Hi! I'm back!

I've been away for about a month now, and now it's back to work!

The first image above shows my unread messages in

Sneak Peek - Future Tasker Feature

Check out something I'm working on! 😃

It's still rough at the moment, but it's already working!

To clarify, this new feature will allow you to trigger tasks based on the room you're in! Unfortunately it'll be a bit limited and hardware dependent, but it does work!

What do you think? Would you use this feature?

Basically, if you open the Join web page on a compatible browser, the browser will register itself as a Join device and you can then no...

Weather Notification - Interesting Live Creation?

During my break the Google Weather widget stopped working correctly so I took that as an opportunity to create a daily weather notification that would make that widget obsolete for me :)

It may not show everything that the Google widget does, but for me this is all the info I need, so I don't think I'll ever use the widget again.

Features from top to bottom:

  • Subtext has your location name
