Welcome to Queuey.
Queuey is an application for jailbroken iOS devices that makes your life awesome by extending Ryan Petrich's famous Activator tweak.
What is Activator?
Activator, as self described, allows centralized gestures and button management for iOS. Since its debut in 2010, it has garnered a massive following from users in the jailbreak community, due to its power and ease of use. However, Activator does have its limitations, namely: there is only very basic 'multiple actions' support, there are no timers, and conditional statements are but a dream.
Or are they?
What is Queuey?
Queuey extends Activator in all three ways above. Using Queuey, one can set up 'queues', or workflows, that utilize Activator's power and extensibility. Delays can be freely configured and used to great effect. In addition, conditional statements (if statements) will be able to be created in a fashionable GUI. (Conditional statements are still under development.)
Note: The following screeenshots depict prerelease versions of Queuey and may not represent the tweak's current state or GUI.
Go to sleep at the touch of a button. Or a gesture. Or any Activator listener.
Take a picture, then edit away.
Go for a run, with route tracking and music.
Queue Ideas
Once Queuey is installed, the possibilities are endless! Since Queuey can interact with any Activator plugins installed, interesting possibilities open up.
One great example of an extension that Queuey can utilize is HueHueHue, by Ethan Gill (@ethansinjin), one of this project's authors. Using HueHueHue, Queuey can toggle the state of Philips Hue lighting systems over local Wi-Fi. This, accompanied by delays and conditionals, can lead to powerful actions. One could tap the home button three times to turn lights off, wait 5 seconds, turn on Airplane Mode, and start playing music!

The Future of Queuey
Since being designed at HackTech, many of the features of Queuey have been implemented by rPetrich in Activator itself! If these features are not fully implemented, we plan to release Queuey as an addition in the future (after a suitable iOS 8 jailbreak is released).
