How to automate a small daily phone chore from the command line with Droidline

Run a Wi-Fi toggle or a value check on the phone on a schedule from your PC.

Authorization notice. Droidline is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA person with a spare or personal Android phone who repeats the same small task each day, such as turning Wi-Fi off at night.

The problemSmall repeated taps on a phone add up, and most Android automation needs developer setup or root.

The outcomeA command that performs the chore on the phone and a scheduled run that repeats it without manual taps.

What you need first

  • A PC running Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • An Android phone running Android 9 or later
  • The droidline archive for your system from the Releases page
  • droidline-agent.apk from the same release page, installed on the phone
  • Python 3.9+ or Node.js 18+ if you want to script, or an MCP-capable agent app

Steps

  1. Run droidline serve on the PC and pair the phone with droidline pair.
  2. Test the chore once from the command line, for example droidline touch text "Network & internet" followed by a touch on the toggle label.
  3. Take a screenshot to confirm the result with droidline screenshot shot.png.
  4. Put the same commands in a script and schedule it with your system's task scheduler to run each night. (inferred, check the README)
  5. Check the next morning that the phone is in the state you expected.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Droidline repo at https://github.com/KnifeLemon/Droidline, run the command line steps to open the Wi-Fi setting on the paired phone and toggle it off, then save a screenshot to <path>. Verify the screenshot shows the toggle in the off state and report the result.

Caveat. The README does not give one command to switch Wi-Fi, because Settings differs by phone maker and Android version, so you may need to adjust the labels in the recipes for your phone.
