Gamer's Companion Macros

Thinking very generally about ways macros can be created as conveniences for gamers. There's what I've made, what I might make, and what gamers might want. Also interested in what macros are already out there.

Off the top of my head:

  • floating buttons that appear to remind you about time-sensitive achievements you're working on (mine appear nightly to remind me to keep up my Flow Free streaks)
  • quick launchers for Android games (easy actions; tapping my buttons gives me a Confirm Next, then launches the variant I want)
  • stat tracking (I'm working on ways for mine to calculate my streak and invite corrections if it's wrong per Google Play Games)
  • automatic tracking of time spent playing Android games
  • manual tracking of time spent on console or computer games or VR, etc.
  • other handy functions gamers would want while console gaming, like journaling
  • also always interested in gamification; ways to repurpose gamer tools and incentives for productivity
And I'll see about adding to this post as I go.
