Locale Alternatives
Locale is described as 'With Locale, you create situations specifying conditions under which your phones settings should change. For example, your "At School" situation notices when your location condition is "77 Mass Ave," and changes your ringer volume setting to vibrate' and is an app in the Office & Productivity category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Locale for a variety of platforms, including Android, Android Tablet, iPad, iPhone and Symbian S60. The best alternative is Tasker. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Automate or MacroDroid. Other great apps like Locale are Workflow (Free), entr (Free, Open Source), Autonomous (Free) and ControlPlane (Free, Open Source).
