QuickShortcutMaker is a practical app that gives you the ability to create simple shortcuts for all of the programs on your smartphone or tablet.
After using a mobile device for a few months, you might realize that your home screen is more cluttered than you would like it to be. QuickShortcutMaker is a useful piece of software that allows you to create custom shortcuts and groups. This software was specifically designed to be as lightweight as possible, and it isn’t going to bog down your smartphone or tablet with unnecessary processes. Here is a quick look at just a few of the unique features that this app has to offer.
The primary purpose of QuickShortcutMaker is to create one-touch icons on your home screen, but that isn’t the only reason to download this app. If you are tired of searching through dozens of programs, then you can use this software as an organizational tool. Instead of looking through pages of apps, you can simply tap on QuickShortcutMaker and type in one or more keywords. You will then be given a list of pertinent apps that contain the keyword or phrase. This app also gives you the ability to categorize your apps by how often they are used.
Unfortunately, this software doesn’t work on all devices, and some users will need to alter a few system settings before downloading QuickShortcutMaker. That being said, this unique program could be invaluable if your phone or tablet is bogged down with dozens or hundreds of apps. It is an excellent organizational tool that might end up saving you quite a bit of time.

QuickShortcutMaker lets you make convenient shortcuts to nearly anything on your Android device.
Generally, creating, customizing and editing shortcuts isn’t as user-friendly on Android as it is on a platform like Windows, for instance. QuickShortcutMaker is an Android app that seeks to change that while doing it in a way that’s well-suited to the Android platform. This app hides in the background and is there whenever you need it to create or edit a shortcut to just about anywhere on your device.
Perhaps the neatest aspect of QuickShortcutMaker is that it isn’t limited to making shortcuts for apps. You can create shortcuts to files and indicate the program to open them. You can also create shortcuts to processes or just about any activity on your phone or tablet. This means that you can even make a shortcut to a particular device or application setting. Consider the usefulness of having easy access to a setting you change on a regular basis, such as volume or a password. Note that the app does provide access to hidden settings, which could be an issue in some scenarios.
QuickShortcutMaker also gives you great control over the shortcut itself. You can dictate the icon, text label and so forth. The app also supports a wide range of languages beyond English, and it lets you dictate numerous settings about each shortcut. These settings can be easily copied from one shortcut to the next as well. This level of customization is particularly useful when, for instance, you have a series of apps pointing to the same app or activity. Another benefit is enhanced privacy since your shortcuts can completely disguise what it is they’re actually pointing at.
Pros
- Create and delete shortcuts easily
- Shortcuts to apps, processes, activities and more
- Customize shortcuts
