Put your phone on vibrate for a few hours, then back

RULOMI 0.8.0 · WORKS WITHOUT THE AI PLANNER
Some routines only need to last a while. End the sentence with how long, and Rulomi puts every setting the routine changed back to what it was when it started.

Type this

Every day at 9 pm put my phone on vibrate and set screen timeout to 30 seconds, restore everything after 2 hours

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

What Rulomi builds

WHEN
Every day at 21:00
THEN
  1. Set the ringer to vibrate
  2. Set the screen timeout to 30 seconds
AFTER
After 2 hours, the ringer and the screen timeout go back to what they were at 21:00.

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

Access it asks for

  • Do Not Disturb access, which Android also requires for the ringer and the ring and notification volumes.
  • Modify system settings, for brightness, screen timeout and auto-rotate.
  • Precise timing is optional. Without it Android may run the routine a few minutes late.

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

Variations

Every weekday at 9 am put my phone on vibrate, restore everything after 6 hours

A working morning on vibrate. Six hours is the longest a restore can wait.

Good to know

  • Android treats vibrate and silent as Do Not Disturb states, which is why a ringer change needs Do Not Disturb access.
  • The restore puts back what the settings were when the run started. It overwrites anything you changed by hand in the meantime.
  • Pausing or deleting the routine stops its future runs, and a restore that was waiting doesn't happen.
