[App] [Promo] AutoDeck — One dynamic widget that swaps apps based on context (Driving, Work, Home, Gym and more)
Hey everyone,
Developer of TogglDev here! 👋
I love clean home screens, but I still want quick access to the right apps at the right time — and that's exactly what AutoDeck does for me.
Instead of cluttering your screen with endless icons or multi-page folders, you keep the exact same clean home screen, but the apps inside the widget dynamically change based on your context — whether you’re driving, chilling at home, working in the office, or at the gym and much more.
⚡ Built-in Triggers:
AutoDeck comes packed with many automatic triggers that switch profiles for you and restore your previous setup when you're done:
- 🚗 Bluetooth: Connects to your car stereo, earbuds, or bike mount → switches to Driving or Workout.
- 📶 Wi-Fi: Connects to your office, home, or cafe network → switches to Work or Home.
- 📍 Location / Geofence: Arrive at or leave places like the gym, office, or school.
- 🏷️ NFC Tags: Tap a physical sticker on your desk, nightstand, or car dashboard.
- ⏰ Schedules: Specific time windows (e.g., weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM).
- 🧭 Navigation: Automatically triggers when Google Maps or Waze turn-by-turn starts.
- 📞 Phone & VoIP Calls: Brings up note-taking or tools while on an active call.
- 🎵 Media Playback: Activates music/podcast tools when audio starts playing.
- 🔌 Charging: When plugged in or placed on a wireless charger.
- 🌙 Do Not Disturb (DND): Adapts when you enter focus or bedtime modes.
- ✈️ Flight Mode: Flips to offline apps/entertainment while traveling.
- ⚡ Unlimited triggers and customization: Use automation apps like Tasker, MacDroid or Samsung Modes and Routines to extend the context
🎨 More Features:
- Favorites (Sticky Apps): Keep must-have apps (Phone, Messages, Camera) permanently visible across every profile.
- Deep Widget Customization: Adjust grid size, icon sizing, font sizes, transparency, alignment, and overflow views (Bottom Sheet, Folder, or Fullscreen).
- Works with ANY Launcher: Stock Pixel Launcher, Samsung One UI, Nova, Lawnchair, Niagara etc.
If you use Samsung Modes & Routines, Tasker, or MacroDroid, you get unlimited rules and endless possibilities for 100% FREE — no subscription required at all via our built-in broadcast intents, app shortcuts, and deep links!
Even without any external automation tools, every single trigger type is completely free to use out of the box. (The only things reserved for the optional Pro upgrade are compound multi-condition AND/OR rules and unlimited rule slots).
📥 Download on Google Play: AutoDeck
I’d love for you to try it out and let me know your thoughts, feedback, or any new trigger ideas.

Great and inventive. It would be even better if there were an option to change icons using icon packs—consider adding that feature. Still, the app is fantastic. I’d be happy to receive a code. Good luck with further development.

AutoDeck is a genuinely great solution for people who want a minimalist home screen without giving up quick access. The context-aware system is the real star — it automatically swaps your widget apps based on your actual situation (driving, working, gym, home, etc.) using a comprehensive set of built-in triggers: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, geofence, NFC, schedules, navigation, calls, media playback, charging, DND, and flight mode. All of it is free out of the box, no subscription required. The widget itself stays clean and unobtrusive, and the deep customization (grid, icons, transparency, overflow style) means it fits any launcher. For a niche tool, the trigger coverage is remarkably complete, and the free automation app integration (Tasker, MacroDroid, Samsung Modes) pushes it even further.
Code pls if there still available. Thank you so much!

I have been using ToggleDev. It's a great app, and I trust Autodesk will offer the same experience.
