What can Reflex do?
+
It pairs a trigger with actions. For example: shake to take a screenshot, flip face-down for Do Not Disturb, double-press volume down to start recording audio, or set the ringer to vibrate when the charger is connected.
Is Reflex free?
+
Yes. You get 5 shortcuts, 17 triggers, the builder, conditions, Discover and the activity log for free, with ads. Watching a short ad earns up to 3 more shortcut slots. Reflex Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads and unlocks unlimited shortcuts, all 72 triggers, every action, delays and if / else branches. No subscription.
Does Reflex need root?
+
No. It uses Android's Accessibility service, which you enable once, to detect gestures and perform actions such as a screenshot or locking the screen.
Why does Reflex need the Accessibility service?
+
It hosts the automation engine: it detects the gestures you configure and performs the actions you choose. Reflex does not read, log or transmit screen content.
Is it a Tasker alternative?
+
Reflex focuses on fast, gesture-first shortcuts with a visual builder and ready-made packs, so common automations take a minute to set up rather than an afternoon.
Does it drain the battery?
+
Reflex only starts the sensors your shortcuts need, and pausing it from the main switch stops them all.
Can I back up my shortcuts?
+
Yes. Export them to a JSON file and import it on the same or another phone.
Which devices are supported?
+
Phones and tablets running Android 7.0 or newer. Some triggers need specific hardware, such as a proximity sensor or step counter.
