• Indispensable

    With Locale, you create situations specifying conditions under which your phone's settings should change. For example, your "At School" situation notices when your location condition is "77 Massachusetts Ave.," and changes your ringer volume setting to vibrate.

    Situation

    Once you experience Locale's power and convenience, you'll never want to be without it. We're understandably a little biased, so here's what our users are saying:

    "I got kicked out of chemistry class because my ringer went off during lecture. I wish I had this sooner!" — Rebecca, Student

    Are you always missing important calls because your ringer was off? Locale can let VIP callers always ring though.

    I used to have this nightmare that my kids were sick at daycare but no one could reach me because my ringer was off. With Locale, now I don't have to worry! — Judy, Project Manager

  • Intuitive

    With Locale's advanced touch-screen interface, you'll be set up in no time. Quickly define locations that are important to you using a simple Google Maps interface.

    Locations

    Locale's incredible location technology leverages GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular positioning to determine the location of your phone. Although not all phones are equally equipped and not all location technologies have equal coverage, Locale gracefully scales back. Walking into a building with poor GPS reception? Not a problem.

  • Powerful

    Locale goes way beyond turning the ringer off.

    Settings

    Does your battery always seem to be running out of power? Let Locale turn off power-hungry components automatically when the battery is low. Or do you just forget to charge your phone?

    "I never remember to charge my phone; I'd use Locale to remind me my battery is below 40% when I walk in my front door." — Lisa, Mobile Game Developer

    Give your phone some personality by your ringtone. Even be a little mischievous:

    "You mean I can have a naughty wallpaper on my phone when I'm at home, and it'll change to a pretty landscape when I'm at work?!" — Dale, Software Engineer

  • Expandable

    Third party developers integrate directly with Locale through the Locale Developer Platform. You can quickly discover new plug-ins for Locale by choosing "Get Plug-ins" from the menu inside the app. With over 70 plug-ins on the Android Market today and more being released every week, Locale can do practically anything! Here's just a few examples:

    Astrid is a simple, yet powerful todo and task tracking app for Android. By leveraging Locale, Astrid is able to remind you not just when but also where tasks are due.

    The Android Scripting Environment brings advanced scripting to Android. Locale allows scripts to be launched automatically based on conditions.

    Screebl, an ADC2 finalist, uses accelerometer readings to detect that you're using the phone and prevent the screen from turning off. Together with Locale, you can perform advanced management of your phone's settings on whether you're actually using the phone.
