Tasker.lpp May 2026

First, let’s decode the acronym. .lpp stands for Launcher Preferences Package.

In the Tasker ecosystem, a standard backup usually comes as .xml or .prf.xml (Profile) files. An .lpp file is unique because it is a specialized container format used almost exclusively by third-party launchers and UI automation tools that integrate with Tasker.

Unlike standard Tasker backups (which export as .xml or .prf.xml), an .lpp file is designed for linked project sharing. It contains: tasker.lpp

More importantly, tasker.lpp solves a long-standing pain point: project fragmentation. Without it, sharing a complex automation required exporting a dozen separate files and begging the recipient not to break the links. With .lpp, you export once. The recipient imports once. Everything just works.

Sharing your automation is part of the fun. Here is how to package your hard work into a clean .lpp file. First, let’s decode the acronym

Pro-Tip for Developers: Before exporting an .lpp, go through your tasks and remove hardcoded passwords (like Wi-Fi PSKs or API keys). Consider using Tasker "Variables" (e.g., %MyPassword) and instruct users to set those variables themselves. This makes your .lpp safe for public release.

Many tasker.lpp files found online are actually side-loads for KLWP (Kustom Live Wallpaper) . In KLWP, an .lpp file can import a preset that triggers Tasker actions via Send Intent or Tasker Shortcut plugins. More importantly, tasker

Because .lpp files can include linked scenes and potentially shell commands, they carry the same risks as any executable code. Never import an .lpp from an untrusted source—it could theoretically trigger a rm -rf or flood an API endpoint. But for trusted creators, it is the closest Android has to a "no-code automation module."

Consider this: With a single .lpp file, you can turn a stranger’s phone into a proximity-aware, NFC-triggered, AI-camera remote. Or a sleep tracker that logs heart rate variability from a smartwatch. Or a work profile that auto-fills timesheets from calendar events.
