TaskBomb is an automation app (sometimes called "task scheduler", "job scheduler", "batch processor", etc.) that allows you to schedule apps and actions to automatically run. It's similar in function to the cron command on Linux, somewhat like an alarm clock (you can set alarms and snooze actions), and somewhat like apps like Timeriffic, Tasker, or Locale but with a different focus. TaskBomb aims to be small and simple, and leverage the power of the apps you have on your phone.

One of TaskBomb's greatest assets is its unique and flexible scheduling system that allows you to create modular, reusable schedules that can be run at any time, attached to alarms, or added to other schedules.

With home automation as a growing application of Android, this app could just be what you need to serve as a master controller for the bits and pieces you want to automate.

You can schedule things ranging from very simple:

"Play this song at 8:00 AM on weekdays."

to more complex:

"Run some scripts of mine before bed.  7 hours later start playing my favorite streaming radio station, or my second favorite one if that’s not available, or a local playlist if neither are available. Increase the volume gradually over 3 minutes. If I’m still not up after 10 minutes, switch to a playlist of sad songs."

Put another way, TaskBomb is basically an Android job scheduler. Job scheduling is sometimes synonymous with batch scheduling, although batch schedulers typically use the command line.
