I'm not aware of any great FOSS/FLOSS Tasker alternatives. There are a few options, but they will be less capable, functional, extensible, user friendly, or modern.

More direct alternatives

Requires a server to run automations/dcripts

Requires scripts and may require a server and/or additional add-on apps

I believe you're looking for Easer, though not sure how well it matches to your criteria https://github.com/renyuneyun/Easer https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/ryey.easer/

IMHO, no, and I look for one all the time, I hate Tasker, really miss Automagic -_-

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm curious - why do you hate Tasker? I've been using it for years (well before Joao became the dev) and I've always found it supremely useful.

[–] superfes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The UX is so terrible, I can't figure out what's to like about it.

It's still a useful app, I mean it's design is complete garbage, but you get utility.

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, fair enough. I've been using it long enough that I guess the UX doesn't bother me any more. And the benefits from the ongoing development are still very good IMO.

After many years of using Tasker, I switched to Macrodroid.

Not quite as powerful but does 95% of what Tasker can do and the interface makes waaaay more sense, to me.

Macrodroid can also utilise Tasker and Locale plugins.

[–] bbigras@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Macrodroid doesn't seem to be opensource.

[–] scott@lem.free.as 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, sorry.

[–] Kalcifer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From what I can see, Macrodroid does not appear to be opensource, but thank you for the suggestion.

[–] scott@lem.free.as 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, sorry.

It's closed source, and it costs money.

It was buggy when I used it. Then to get rid of it, I had to reset my phone. It's a mess.

I also was searching for an open source alternative. I came across Automate, and fell in love with it. However, it's not open source but I highly recommend giving it a try.
