About Shortcut Creator APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This application allows you to create shortcuts on local files and folders, applications, settings, contacts, messages and even you can customize shortcuts from other apps. You can provide your own shortcut title and use many different features for customizing the shortcut icon: use icon of the related application, crop image exported from external gallery, import icons from file, use icon from external theme. The app also supports native widgets - you can create a widget instead of a shortcut. Later the widget icon, title and appearance can be changed. In addition you can organize shortcuts in the Collections database using different methods like hierarchy or tags. Later you can use Collections dialogs to get quick access to the organized shortcuts.WARNING:
Some features require Pro mode (an in-app purchase) but Trial mode does not block them at first and you're given time to test them. Trial is absolutely IDENTICAL to Pro so don't buy Pro if you think that something will be changed.
WARNING:
On Android Oreo (8.0) there is a new way to add shortcuts on the main screen and the Launcher automatically adds a small Shortcut Creator icon to the right bottom corner of any shortcut icon. I've found only one workaround for this - add from widgets. Please check the related how-to video on the first page of the app.
Features of Shortcut Creator:
- ability to create shortcuts on local files, folders, applications, settings, contacts and messages.
- use an additional free component for creating shortcuts on switcher on some settings and also composite mode switcher.
- support of native widgets which can be used as a container for a shortcut.
- ability to re-use already created shortcuts in the History feature and add shortcuts from other apps.
- organize all your shortcuts in the Collections database with ability to export/import selected shortcuts.
- the system can automatically set up tags for each type of shortcut; for apps it also can add the app category; the user can easily add any other custom tags.
- flexible layout and appearance system for File Browser and Collections dialogs.
- manage your icons collections and import a new icon collection from zip archive (Pro mode required).
- select images from different Android galleries and rich crop functionality for creating a new icon from the selected image.
- parse themes for some popular Launchers and provide ability to use their icons (Pro mode required) and wallpapers.
- app has not write access to internal storage and sdcard and works only in its private area.
- support tablet devices.
Currently the app allows you to buy Pro mode only. This mode provides following benefits:
- Import icons to the icon gallery.
- Use icons from themes.
- Add sub-collections in the Collection database.
- Export shortcuts from Collection database (but import is free).
- Removing any ad (if it will be added in the future) and other annoying dialogs.
Required permissions:
- Reading your content on SDCard is required for selecting some local file which will be used as target for a shortcut.
- Reading your contacts is required for selecting some contact which will be used as a target for a shortcut.
- Install shortcuts is required for core functionality.
- Internet access is required only for advertising and is not used in other parts of the app.
On Android 6.0 there is a system ability to block access to your local file system and contacts – the app takes this into account and handles all cases correctly.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★I like the app!i change all the pictures of my apps to blackpink and my siblings want a toutorial😜
1 ★It was a great app but now it is not a shortcut anymore since it creates a new folder : you can see the files but cannot interact with them (delete them or move them). I really don't get the point.
5 ★Android is like a mansion of customization. Diving in the settings can be overwhelming sometimes. Accessing the settings takes many steps. One thing I like about the Shortcut Creator is that it makes everything simple and just a tap for any setting be it the system setting or from any apps. I am relying on it too much now, had it installed in all of my Android devices.
5 ★The app has been extremely useful to me in creating quick shortcuts to a lot of my frequently used URLs. Thanks a lot for such a great app!
5 ★I was looking for an app that allows me to create a shortcut to specific folders or specific files and place it in my Home Screen. I hit jackpot when I found Shortcut Creator, not just for the easy way to create the shortcut but also because it allows me to use any icon on the app gallery or from my collection to make my shortcut more visible between the other Home Screen icons. Keep up the good work !!!
5 ★I absolutely dread having to dig through my settings menus to look for something that I use often. I tried many different kinds of short cut creators but found they were all too complicated to set up. However this app is simple user-friendly and intuitive and its approach and I use it a lot. Thank you to the developer for building this application with such care and craftsmanship.
5 ★I was looking for an app to give me more control of my files and software and this ended up doing everything I needed and much more. Used in conjunction with Tasker, you can do pretty much anything you want with your phone!
5 ★Love the huge customization! There are some apps I love/use a lot but the icon is super annoying. With this app, I can replace the default icon w/any image I want or one of the icons it provides. I also use it to create home screen shortcuts for Play Store apps via share. (Apps I don't want to install that moment but want a reminder to revisit later.) Make sure to select "Open With...Play Store" & edit the title so the shortcut will show the app name instead of "Check out...".
5 ★Just the kind app I was looking for with these features. This app has made it so much easier using my device/phone daily. All I have to do 98% of the time is just to click a icon I can easily instantly access a certain feature or setting quickly on my phone. No tedious stuff clicking after clicking through screens. This app made it so simple for me. I have one for my apps, wifi, battery, storage settings and many others. Great job on this one developer.
5 ★This application is really helpful and efficiently helps me navigate my very much so overly-cluttered phone. I discover and rate new applications and weed out the best ones for the needs of multiple people. The developer clearly states you must have a promo code to unlock the pro version, but you can still simply download the application to try it. I am not one who has problems buying my applications I like it's features, but I have purchased some disappointing ones. This is NOT one I regret. 👍
4 ★This very useful app is what you need if you cannot create shortcuts to those annoying documents you have to keep opening or a photo deep in the phone somewhere. What I would suggest is that a "right click option" should be put in when you hold on the screen, so you can quickly open a file or get info on a file. Overall good app and lots of customisations.
3 ★I created some app shortcuts using the widget. Now I want to customize the icons differently. When I try to delete and recreate the shortcuts, it says shortcut already created. But I simply can't find the old shortcuts anywhere on my screen, neither can I create new ones. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but I get the same message again. Please help me resolve this issue! If this issue is resolved, I would give it 5 stars because it is probably the best on Play Store.
