What is Smart NFC?

Smart NFC is an Android app that enables powerful automation and productivity features using NFC tags. With Smart NFC, you can stick NFC tags around your home, office, or car, and program them to trigger custom actions and workflows when scanned.

Some example uses of Smart NFC include:

  • Stick an NFC tag on your nightstand to trigger your morning routine - can turn off alarms, open news/weather apps, begin playing music, and more with one tap.
  • Program tags to toggle settings like WiFi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, and other phone toggles.
  • Trigger automation apps like IFTTT recipes using scannable tags.
  • Launch favorite apps or shortcuts using tagged stickers.
  • Customize several pages of automated tasks and flows per tag for advanced workflows.
  • Works with most modern Android phones with built in NFC capabilities.

Smart NFC provides a simple tag editor/programmer interface within the app to set up your automations. Everything syncs between your phone and tags without needing an internet connection or other services. For those looking to boost productivity and streamline repetitive phone tasks, Smart NFC offers a flexible platform for NFC automation.
