Description

AutoPie is a command automation hub for Android. It gives you a Linux environment where you can create, run, and automate Bash commands or Python scripts without using a terminal.

Use it to build small Android utilities for file conversion, downloads, monitoring, backups, web requests, AI tooling, device workflows, and any other task you would normally solve with Linux packages or scripts.

Permissions

  • All files access: AutoPie runs terminal commands and scripts against files in shared storage. This permission is required so those commands can read, create, modify, monitor, and organize user files and folders.
  • Battery optimization exemption: AutoPie requests permission to run without battery optimizations so long-running terminal commands, scheduled jobs, and folder observers can continue working reliably in the background.
