Additions
New Device Admin/Owner action allows you to perform tasks such as killing apps, clearing app data, rebooting the device, setting app permissions, and more without root! Check out the demos below:
Added new (VERY EARLY) Tasker UI option which shows a different, more modern UI. For now, only the Edit Task screen is changed. Please keep in mind, this is still very early and subject to change. To enable this you have to do it in Tasker > Preferences > UI > Use Tasker 2024 UI. You can switch back and forth if you want! Here is the breakdown:
Added Tasker WebUI! When editing a task in the new Tasker UI you have the option to enable WebUI, which opens up an HTTP API that allows you to control task creation from any UI on any device on your network! Demo
Added new List File Properties action that gets multiple file properties from multiple files and folders all at once. Demo. More sort and filter options demo.
Added Get Network Data Usage action that allows you to get the data your phone used in any given time period. Demo
Added new Array Compare action that tells you the common and distinct elements in multiple arrays. Demo. Advanced Output Demo.
Added Set Device Effects action for Android 15+. Allows you to do stuff like Screen To Grayscale, Dim Wallpaper, Toggle AOD on and off and more will come in the future. Demo
Added Vibration Intensity options to the Vibrate Pattern and Notify actions (Notify will only work on Android 15+). Demo
Added way of using the Multiple Variable Set action in a more visually easier way, like this
Added Show Running Tasks and Show Running Profiles actions
Added option to automatically start Tasker monitor on app open, which helps on some systems that don't start Tasker in the background
Added User Certificate option in Pick Input Dialog action
Added option to get the latest Tasker version in the Direct-Purchase version
