I’m looking for recommendations. I’d like to automatically turn off my cellular modem whenever I’m attached to a good Wi-Fi signal. Airplane mode on demand.

My rationale is multiple: I’d like to save battery life when I don’t need it. I don’t need phone calls or SMS. Everything goes over the internet for me anyway.

I would like to reduce my exposure to cellular security problems, and location tracking.

Ideally whatever implements this would be open source.

— edit ---- Using the word modem was probably wrong in the post. I want to turn the cellular features off. No mobile data, no mobile phone calls, no mobile text, I would like the cellular part of the phone to be powered off.

      Sadly it’s not able to turn on airplane mode without rooting the device. And that’s not currently an option for me

      But I was able to set up some rules to turn off Bluetooth automatically. Which is nice. So thank you for the link!
