30* Best Tasker Profiles in 2020 [Must Have]

What is Tasker?

Tasker is an android compatible application that controls different tasks, it lets you create mini android applications and has a friendly interface. We can say that tasker profiles as a tasker extends your control towards your device and increases its capabilities.

A tasker has four tabs with a clean and friendly user interface. The tabs at the top are:

Profile

It is a kind of container that contains tasks and their contexts (application, time, date).

Task

A group of actions or processes is a task.

Scene

Custom made UI is a scene that helps us in making layouts, menus, popups.

Variable

A value that can be changed with time and is not fixed.

Applications of Tasker

A tasker can be used for performing various actions:

• • Text-to-speech, it converts important messages like low battery, Bluetooth status, appointment notifications, etc.
  • Create different sorts of home widgets.

• Turning on the night mode for different time durations.
• Launch music application as soon as headphones are attached to the device.
• Set up a Birthday message months before just in case you forget later.

Silent your phone by simply moving its face down.

Tabs of Tasker

The tasker has three tabs namely:

1. Tasks
2. Scenes
3. Profiles

Let’s know about them a little bit now:

Tasks

With the profile tab, we have two more tabs “tasks” and “scenes”.

To check the activation status:

• Click on the task to edit it
• Click to show management options.

The task indicated with a green, right-pointing arrow is an entry task, executed when the profile becomes active.

The task indicated with a red, left-pointing arrow is an exit task, executed when the profile is inactive.

A profile containing an event context or a repeating or non-ranged time context has two green arrows.

Scenes

The scene tab opens up a list that shows the scenes which have been created.

To edit a scene, follow these steps:

• Click on a scene you want to edit.
• Long-click for options or to drag scene(s).

Scenes with a green name are already created, but they may be hidden sometimes.

Click on the Scenes tab when it is already selected for general scene-related options such as sorting.

Action Bar

This is a bar that contains buttons for the final step or saves changes.

Apply Button

Save and apply any changes which have been made without exiting the UI. This is unnecessary before leave the user interface using the back or home key.

Overflow Button

It is a button used in devices that do not have a hard key for the menu, used as an on-screen menu button.

Profiles

Once you have set up a task, the next step is to associate that task with a profile. Profiles are the conditions that are to be met before any task is triggered. So it can be said that first, you need to create a task than the profile because, as stated above, profiles are conditions that are to be met for the task to get into action. If these conditions are not met, then the task would not be performed.

How to Create Profiles in Tasker?

To create a profile in tasker, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open “Tasker.”
2. There you will see three tabs- “Profiles”, “Tasks”, “Scenes”.
3. Click on the “Profiles” tab.
4. Tap the “+” button on the right side at the bottom.
5. As you click this “+” icon, you will see a pop-up menu with six different categories. As shown in the picture here.

Categories of Profile

The different categories of the profile are described below:

Application

If you select this category, this will open all the installed applications available in your android device. Now from this list, you need to select the app at which you need to get your task performed. This can also be applied to multiple apps.

Once you’ve done selecting the apps, tap the back button. Tasker will then prompt you to enable its Accessibility service, so tap “OK” on the popup to enable Accessibility. From there, select Tasker from the list, then enable the switch at the top of the screen. This allows the Tasker to see which apps are open or running.

Day

When you select this category, you’ll get a calendar view with different options.

Here you can select certain day(s), month or simply a month or a year. By this, you can select the day at which you want to perform the task. This can be used when you want to send a text for a birthday.

Event

This category of profiles has certain more subcategories, these subcategories contain different events that you want to your device to perform like system reboot, display on/off, etc.

This also has a great option of filter, that can help you to enter your choices for events related to your needs.

Location

By the use of this category, you can set a task to execute whenever it reaches a certain area. This can be useful when you want to lower the volume in institutes or any other official place by merely setting the location of the area on the map.

We can also set a certain radius for which this has to be enabled and the task is to be executed.

State

It is similar to the ‘Event’ category. The state category depicts an ongoing situation, whereas, in the case of event category, there is a single occurrence of the task.

In this category, any tasks you set to trigger with a state change will stop running when the state changes back, which reduces the need for an exit task.

It has the same menu as the Event menu like the menu has different sub-menus like battery level which are basically related to connectivity and software. It also has the filter option similar to the one on the event menu.

Once you selected the state, the next option is the State edit option, which lets you provide more instructions or we can say more rules.

Time

The usage of location and time category is mostly in similar cases. Like you can see in this case, you lower down the volume only when at work or school.

So, this can be done by both of them, by setting the location or simply by setting the working hours. Both of the methods can do the desired work.

But the time category is more reliable as compared to other categories, as the system knows the correct time whereas location can sometimes have issues.

On the left portion of the screen, there are three buttons.

When one of them is enabled, you’ll see an orange indicator beside it. “From” represents the starting time for your profile, so the first time it’ll become active. “To” represents when your profile will stop being active, and if you don’t select this option, the profile will stop at midnight every time.

If you don’t want your profile to trigger at a certain time, you can select the “Every” option instead. This lets you enter a number that will cause your profile to become active every X hours or X minutes. You can also combine this with the “From” and “To” options so that your profile becomes active for certain hours, but only during certain periods throughout the day.

Now, as we have discussed all the categories of tasker. Now we will discuss below the top tasker profiles of 2020.
