Alternative to Locale?

Tomorrow, probably.

Great, thanks for the update.

I'm trying to get tasker, so I can try it and help beta-test.
But where's the download link?

 

[Xyro]

From the forum on that site.

No the developer wants to keep it out of the Market place as it's still very much in development (though quite stable). You can download the beta from here...

Tasker sounds impressive. Let's see if I can get it on my phone.

Bummer, no download link yet. He said he would have it last night, but nothing. Hopefully he'll release it soon.

I'll try Timerific in the meantime.

I want this app so bad, is it done soon? And is it open source?

Try the Setting Profiles in Android Market. Lite version is free and good to test ;-)

I'm writing an app that has some of the feature you require. Details on this page:

http://zurloid.comuf.com/locationbot.html

Although I'm planning on charging for it eventually, there's a free version that permits 2 configured locations as well as a third, default profile for when you are not in range of any configured location.

It's beta at present so please feel free to let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for improvements.

I just came across this thread because Ive been trying to make it so the notifications from Gtalk still occurred at night, while all other notifications were silent.

Is that something that any of these can help with?

Old thread, but in case someone reads through here, check out Map Rules as an alternative. Free version supports 5 locations with ads. Paid version is only 1.99. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cogtactics.maprules.free

I was pretty disgusted when Locale went from free to $10, so I put together my own alternative, called Proference.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domloge.proference

Proference is event/state based, rather than polling. So when you change location, things happen immediately rather than at 10m intervals. It can invoke settings based on location, battery time etc etc. The idea is that a Rule is based on Actions (what to do) and Conditions (when to do it).

It's pretty simple and not anywhere near as complicated as Tasker, but is much more intuitive. You can run 3 rules for free, or buy the unlocker for infinite.

LLama is also a freebie thats worth a look.. seems pretty easy to use and its been doing its job for me for a couple of weeks
