Our verdict on Automate
Automate is an Android app from LlamaLab for building device automations as visual flowcharts. It is aimed primarily at individuals who want to reduce repetitive work on Android phones and tablets. Users connect blocks for actions, conditions, triggers, loops, and other operations, covering files, messaging, calls, cameras, audio, device settings, locations, schedules, installed apps, and online services. Its free edition supports all features without Premium when the device supports them, while Premium is provided through a single in-app purchase tied to the purchasing Google account and devices registered with that account.
The standout feature is the depth of its flow editor. More than 400 building blocks combine with expressions, variables, and functions to support multi-step workflows and conditional logic. Triggers can be scheduled, location-based, or event-based, giving users several ways to start an automation. Device controls extend beyond simple app actions into messaging, calls, camera, audio, and settings. File management and remote storage access add practical utility for personal routines, while community flow sharing can help users work from existing automation ideas.
Automate also connects Android actions with online services and established plug-in systems. HTTP access, webhooks, Google Drive, FTP, Gmail, Microsoft OneDrive, the Tasker plug-in API, and the Locale plug-in API broaden its integration options. That breadth is most useful when the phone or tablet is the center of the workflow. The trade-off is its focused platform scope: Android users seeking detailed device automation should consider Automate, while teams needing workflows across multiple operating systems or a broader SaaS environment should look elsewhere.
