These are the Tasker scripts that I run on my phone. If I add any in the future, I will add them at the top. Tasker is a very powerful application that allows you to run scripts on your phone and automate things. You can get it on the Google Play Store, and find a plethora of scripts here or by searching for them.

Good Morning - Download
3/6/21 Update: Good Morning script has been updated. There may still be issues I’m looking to fix.
9/04/23 Update: Made it a easier to set variables on main project page.
This runs every morning as my alarm. It reads aloud, “Good morning Anthony. It is %time on %dayofweek %date. Current location is %city, %state. %weatherinformation. The sun will set at %sunset.” Also when I have upcoming vacation, I will add that it reads, “There are %numberdays days left until your vacation.” This script has some dependencies on other scripts that I have packaged into a zip. Extract into your main Tasker folder then import the project.

Command List - Download
My phone will respond to certain commands via text, but sometimes I forget the commands. Texting my phone with showcommands will get a list of these commands.

Locate Phone - Download
This is one of the text commands that my phone will respond to. If I lose my phone then I can send it gpsphone via text from any other phone and my phone will respond back with a link to a Google Map with it’s current GPS coordinates.

Ring Phone - Download
This is another text command that I use if I lose my phone but know it’s in the house somewhere. This will turn the flashlight on and play the ringtone and maximum volume for the time I specified in it.

Lock Phone - No Download
This is a simple one liner in Tasker so I didn’t include a download for it. When txt received contains lockphone, phone is locked.

Reboot Phone - No Download
This is also a simple one liner. When txt received contains rebootphone, phone is restarted.

3.5mm - Download
When I plug a 3.5mm lead into my phone and it’s during a work day, it will automatically start playing my podcasts.

Sleep Quiet - No Download
This puts the phone into Do Not Disturb mode during certain times. Most phones support this now in settings so likely unnecessary… I just got used to doing it with Tasker before it was available as a setting in Android.

VPN On/VPN Off - Download
This will automatically connect to my home VPN when I disconnect from WiFi. This allows me to have access to all my selfhosted services without having to open the individual services up to the WAN. And then when I get back home and the phone connects to my WiFi, it turns the VPN off as it is no longer needed to access the services.
