A new Beta is now out! I’ve added another Android 15+ feature to Tasker (which won’t be available right now, cause it’s still in beta) but you can try it in the Vibrate Pattern action: vibration intensity!

Also, I want to release Tasker 6.3 to the general public soon, so let me know if there are any outstanding issues in this release that were not present in the regular public release.

Just to be clear, public releases won’t be “held back” by the new UI. The new UI is still very much in its early stages (and will always remain optional). Public releases will continue as usual, independently of how much of the new UI is done.

Sign up for the beta here.

If you don’t want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here.

You can also get the updated app factory here.

If you want you can also check any previous releases here.

Vibration Intensity

Demo:

You can now define a Vibration Intensity pattern in both the Vibrate Pattern and Notify actions. (Notify will not work yet, but only when Android 15 apps can be built normally).

This allows you to create more customized and recognizable vibration patterns like you can see in the video example.

New Tasker UI: Use Variables In Any Input Field

Demo:

Previously there were some fields in Tasker that couldn’t be set with variables/text:

• Dropdown input fields, where you select from a list of pre-defined values
• Checkbox fields, where you enable or disable an option

You can now set both of these via variables/text directly! This gives you much more flexibility when creating your tasks!

For example, previously if you wanted a task that would change your DND mode based on a Join command, you would have to add multiple actions, one for each different DND mode, and then run the correct one, based on the command. Now, you can simply send the mode name as the command and set it in a single action!

Something like this is now possible!

Simply touch that little keyboard button that’s next to the input field, and any field will be editable via text!

New Tasker UI: Collapsible Blocks

Demo:

You can now collapse If, Else and For blocks in the new Tasker UI. By doing so, you can drag multiple actions at the same time and also make it easier to look at your task when it’s getting too big and with multiple nested blocks.

New Tasker UI: Multiple Selection Options

Demo:

When you long-select an action, you get a dynamic action menu at the top that shows a bunch of options and there are a few new ones!

• Select All Actions
• Clear Selection
• Select In Between Actions

Selecting in between actions is particularly handy when you want to select a bunch of actions in a row: simply select the first, then the last action and use the in-between option to select all the actions in between!

New Tasker UI: Condition Colors and Grouping

Demo:

You can now see, if possible, which actions will run in a task or not, depending on their If conditions.

If a condition is known to be true then the block’s color will indicate that and you can know right away if it’ll run

This only works if Tasker can know if it’s true though. If you use local variables in your condition, Tasker can’t know if conditions will be true or not until the task actually runs, so the condition colors will be neutral.

When editing a condition list, you can now also much more easily identify how conditions will be evaluated.

You now have visible evaluation groups like this:

In the example you can now clearly see that the inner condition will be evaluated first and only then will that be combined with the outer condition.
