MacroDroid MOD APK for Unlimited Macros — MacroAuto Is Free and Has No Limits

MacroDroid is a well-built automation app. The free tier gives you a genuine taste of what it can do, but it draws a hard line at 5 active macros. Here is what that limit means in practice and what else is restricted.

The 5-macro cap

Each automation you build counts against the limit. If you have 5 macros set up — say, auto-silence at work, Wi-Fi toggle on arrival home, battery saver at 20%, a morning alarm action, and a Bluetooth car profile — you cannot add a sixth without deleting one. The free version enforces this strictly. There is no grace period or temporary override.

Ads throughout the app

The free version is ad-supported. Banner ads appear in the main interface, and the ad presence increases the longer you spend in the app managing and editing macros. For an app you interact with often while setting up automations, the interruptions are noticeable.

No cloud backup

Backing up your macro library to the cloud and restoring it on a new device is a Pro-only feature. Free users who switch devices or reset their phone lose all configured macros and must rebuild from scratch. For anyone who has invested time in building a detailed automation setup, this is a meaningful gap.

A MacroDroid mod APK patches the app to bypass the macro limit and remove ads — the same goal as the Pro upgrade, without the payment. The modification works at the app level, overriding the license check that the free version performs on startup.

The reliability problem

MacroDroid updates regularly — the app has been in active development for over a decade and receives frequent version bumps. Each update can change how the license verification is implemented, which means a mod patched against version 5.61 may stop working when 5.63 is released. Users who install a mod build and then receive an update prompt face a choice: stay on an outdated version and miss bug fixes, or update and lose the mod features until a new patched build becomes available.

The source problem

Mod APK files come from third-party sites, not from ArloSoft (MacroDroid's developer). The quality of the modification varies by source. Some builds include the promised patches but also additional code that was not part of the original app. Verifying what is inside a binary APK requires technical steps most users do not take.

The update gap problem

Between a new MacroDroid version releasing and a mod build appearing for that version, there is typically a lag of days to weeks. During that window, users on the mod build are running software with known bugs that the official version has already fixed. For automation software that runs in the background and controls device behavior, running an outdated version has a cost.

MacroAuto is built around the same Trigger → Action → Constraint framework that MacroDroid uses. You pick what starts a macro, what happens when it starts, and optionally constrain it to specific conditions. The difference is that none of this is paywalled or capped.

Unlimited macros

There is no macro limit. Create as many automations as your workflow requires — 10, 50, 100. The app does not count them or enforce a ceiling. Every automation you build stays active.

No ads

MacroAuto has no advertising. No banners in the automation list, no interstitials when you open the app, no reward-ad prompts. The interface is clean and focused on building and managing automations.

Full trigger and action coverage

The trigger library covers the range users expect from a serious automation app: location and geofencing, time and calendar, connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data), device status (battery level, screen on/off, charging), app launch and close events, notification events, and more. On the action side: toggle system settings, control media playback, send messages, adjust volume, launch apps, control screen brightness, and chain multiple actions together in sequence.

Constraints

Constraints let you narrow when a macro fires — only on weekdays, only between specific hours, only when connected to a particular Wi-Fi network, only when battery is above a threshold. This is what separates a useful automation from one that fires at the wrong time. MacroAuto includes a full constraint system with no restrictions on how many conditions you can stack.

Here is a direct comparison of what each app offers at no cost:

MacroDroid's community template library is a distinct advantage for new users who want pre-built macros to import and customize. MacroAuto is the better choice for anyone who wants to build their own automations without running into a limit or paying to remove restrictions.

MacroAuto is available directly from MODDROID's Tools category. Installation takes under a minute.

1. Go to MacroAuto on MODDROID and download the APK
2. If this is your first time installing from outside the Play Store, go to Android Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps, and enable permission for your browser or file manager
3. Open the downloaded APK file and tap Install
4. Open MacroAuto and start building automations — no account required, no sign-in gate

Android 13 / 14 / 15 install note

On newer Android versions, the permission path has changed slightly. If you do not see "Install unknown apps" in Special app access, go to Settings → Apps → tap the three-dot menu → Special app access, or search for "Install unknown apps" directly in the Settings search bar.
