Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when I'm driving and need a different set of favorites than usual. Or I'm at work and need a different set of favorites .

Describe the solution you'd like User can set different "profiles", each with different favorite apps (and maybe different notification settings. Optional: the launcher switch to the right profile when it recognize location / wifi / etc.

Please remember: a feature should be... Simple · Easy to configure and easy to use. As few settings & toggles as possible. Impactful · Either appealing for many or necessary for some. Universal · Has to work everywhere: in every country, on all phones. Independent · Doesn’t add complexity if it’s not being used.

I believe it possible to keep this feature simple - I imagine one button with the profile name, pressing it allows the user to choose a different profile. More than that, it'll allow users to keep each favorite list short - further simplifying the phone use.

https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/13 perhaps these could be merged?

Hi @tsvikas, I'm sorry, but we're not planning on supporting different profiles (https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/1335). However, we just added folder support and are considering adding an API for Tasker in the future (#786).
