Timeriffic

Timeriffic controls various settings on your Android phone or tablet and adjusts them over time according to your programmed schedule. It can control mute, volumes, vibrate, brightness, wifi and airplane on/off.

Profiles List

To control Timeriffic, the user defines profiles. Each profile is a set of actions to be executed at a given time and users can toggle profiles on or off. For example there could be a profile for work, one for home, one for school, one for the movies, etc. Several profiles can be active at the same time.

Timed Actions

The screen to create or edit actions lets the user define the day of the week, the time to run and specify one or more actions to carry.

Timeriffic uses a background service to carry the actions at the specified time. To save battery, the service is started by a timer and shutdown when the action is completed, so it's not running between actions. There are plans to add more actions in the future, you can see here there's already a nice set of setting that users can control:

Android lets the user customize different sound volumes separately, which is very convenient, which means users can control:

• the ring volume,
• the notification volume,
• the media volume for games, music and videos,
• the alarm volume e.g. to wake up in the morning even if the phone is muted,
• the system volume e.g. for clicks feedback, if enabled in the settings,
• and the voice call volume during calls.

Other settings that can be changed:

• Ringer on or off,
• Vibrate always on, always off, on when muted, for notifications only,
• Wifi on or off,
• Global brigthness of the screen (as a percentage or automatic, if supported by the phone),
• Airplane mode on or off,
• Bluetooth on or off (available for Froyo or +).

There is no direct support to control mobile data on/off. This is done however by supporting the APNDroid application, available on Market.

Volumes changes also support the RingGuard protocol, also available on Market.

Miscellaneous

The app features an introduction screen that opens when you first run it. This screen features a version log and credits.

One very useful feature of the app is the Menu > Report Error screen. It lets users report feedback straight to the developers, either feature requests or bug reports. This works by generating a text email, which is then opened into the default email application (e.g. GMail or K9). Users can then review the email before sending it. We love user feedback and will generally reply to all emails we receive -- this is so much better than a "1-star doesn't do X" rating in Market, since we can actually reply to you so use it! (of course we love 5-star ratings in Market ;-)).
