+[Tasker][1] is a very useful and widely used automation app for Android with a
+plugin architecture that allows other apps (such as this one) to add extra
+functionality.
+
+This app provides the following actions for use within Tasker:
+
+ - Generate Private Key - Generates a private key to use for SSH authentication
+ - Get Public Key - Retrieves a public key from a previously generated private
+   key and returns it in the variable `%pubkey`
+ - rsync - Run an rsync command to synchronise files to or from the device
+ - dbclient - Run an SSH command non-interactively (experimental)
+
+The packaged native binaries of [Dropbear][2] and [rsync][3] are my own builds
+which I keep updated with new releases.
+
+Reasons for requested permissions:
+
+ - `FOREGROUND_SERVICE`  
+   Run actions for more than a short time when triggered from older versions of
+   Tasker.
+ - `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE`  
+   (Android 14+) Run actions for more than a short time when triggered from
+   older versions of Tasker.
+ - `INTERNET`  
+   Allow connecting to SSH servers (even if the SSH server is on your local
+   network Android prevents connections without this permission).
+ - `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`  
+   (Android 11+) To read or write the files on your device with rsync.
+ - `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`  
+   (Android 10 and below) To read or write the files on your device with rsync.
+ - `POST_NOTIFICATIONS`  
+   Show a notification that a new version is available (if checking for updates
+   is enabled).
+ - `REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES`  
+   Prompt to install an update after you have tapped on the update notification
+   and chosen 'Download'.
