AutoPie is an innovative command hub and workflow runner designed specifically for Android, allowing users to bring the power of Linux commands and Python scripts to their devices with a user-friendly interface. With AutoPie, shell commands can be executed seamlessly in an integrated Termux environment, enabling a variety of triggers including manual execution, integration with Android's share sheet, scheduled tasks, and event-driven responses to file changes.

Key Features of AutoPie

Command Execution: Run Bash commands, shell scripts, inline Python, and leverage both Termux and Python packages.
Multistage Workflows: Create complex workflows with a persistent shell, enabling step-by-step execution with automatic data passing between steps.
Custom Triggers: Utilize share-sheet commands, file observers with regex filters, and periodic commands through Android's WorkManager.
Rich Inputs: Configure command inputs including strings, booleans, select options, sliders, and file pickers, along with conditional logic for enhanced flexibility.
Interactive Command Catalog: Access a searchable command catalog that includes documentation, versioning, and user command history for ease of use.
Built-in Termux Terminal: Full access to a Termux terminal allows for the installation of additional software using standard package managers.

Workflow Automation

AutoPie enables automation by supporting a variety of command types:

Command Type	Runs	Configuration
`SHARE`	From AutoPie, Android share sheet, pinned shortcuts, or other apps	Receives text, URLs, files, or directories
`FILE_OBSERVER`	Detected after writing new files in a specified directory	Uses regex selectors for filename matching
`CRON`	Periodically executed in the background	Set intervals like `15m`, `30m`, or `1h`

Environmental and Custom Command Features

AutoPie also supports structured communication between commands via environment variables. Inputs can easily be referenced in commands, allowing for dynamic execution based on user-defined conditions. Notably:

#@AUTOPIE {"type":"output","value":"3 new posts"}

This structured output enables real-time notifications and updates to the user interface.
