Turn on auto-rotate only for certain apps

Rulomi's on-device parser understands this as written, so it works with the AI planner switched off.

What Rulomi builds

WHEN

YouTube opens. You confirm the app on the review screen

THEN

1. Turn on auto-rotate

AFTER

When another app or the home screen comes to the front, auto-rotate goes back to what it was.

You see this on the review screen before you enable it, and nothing runs until you do.

Access it asks for

• App usage access, so Rulomi can tell which app is open. It's read on the phone and nothing is stored or sent.
• Modify system settings, for brightness, screen timeout and auto-rotate.

Rulomi asks for access per routine, when a routine needs it, not all at once when you install.

Variations

Brightens the screen for video too, and puts both back afterwards.

Good to know

• Opening an app is noticed while the screen is on.
• Pausing, changing or deleting the routine puts the settings back straight away.
• If what you really want is a change whenever the screen turns sideways, there's also a trigger for that: “when the screen turns landscape”. It follows the screen, so with auto-rotate off it only fires when an app turns the screen.
