๐Ÿค A community for sharing and promoting free / libre and open source software on the Android platform.

โœจ This means software you are free to modify and distribute, such as applications licensed under the GNU General Public License, BSD license, MIT license, Apache license, etc. and software that isn't designed to restrict you in any way.

๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿป Think of free software as free as in freedom of speech, not free beer.

Your post must be related to the Android operating system.

๐Ÿ“œ Mention Source License

When promoting applications, please mention the source license (GPL, MIT, etc.).

โŒจ๏ธ Link Source Code first

This again is about promoting applications. Please include a link to the source code of the application at the top. If the application is hosted on F-Droid, a single link to the F-Droid page is OK, as it includes all relevant information.

๐Ÿคก No Memes

Please refrain from posting memes in this community.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Promote your own

Geofencing is the term to search for. Here's an example: https://fossdroid.com/a/nexttracks.html (don't know if it is any good, it was just the first I found)

Tasks is able to set reminders when entering or leaving a location. Just add a task with the + on the homescreen, set a location (enable permission for Tasks), click on the bell besides that and define other parameters like name etc. Tadah.

I tried that before on android 10 and it didn't work. Maybe it'll work on my android 13 rn.

Its not FOSS, but with Tasker its possible and with AutoLocation its easier to do. I have mine check where I am everytime I disconnect from my car's bluetooth, and run tasks based on where I am (work, home, etc)
