## Description

NFC Tasks is a powerful companion app designed to execute tasks you've recorded on NFC tags via the NFC Tools application. After writing and configuring tasks using NFC Tools or its Pro Edition, simply pass your NFC-compatible device over your NFC tag to perform the preset actions instantly.

This extension not only automates task execution but also offers customization features including user variables, permission management, security settings, and notifications. Splitting the task execution from the main NFC Tools app enhances usability, allowing anyone to perform your configured tasks seamlessly. To get started, ensure you have an NFC-compatible device and the NFC Tools app installed. For any assistance, the NFC Tasks support team is readily available to help.
