Shortcut Creator for PC

This application allows you to create shortcuts on local files and folders, applications, settings, contacts, messages and even you can customize shortcuts from other app. You can provide your own shortcut title and use many different features for customize shortcut icon: use icon of the related application, crop image exported from external gallery, import icons from file, use icon from external theme.

WARNING:
Some features required Pro mode (in-app purchase) but app does not block these features at first and give you a time for test theirs. In this Trial mode the behavior is absolutely IDENTICAL to Pro mode. So don't by Pro mode if you think that something will be changed.

WARNING:
On Android Oreo (8.0) there is a new way for add shortcuts on the main screen and the Launcher automatically add small Shortcut Creator icon a the right bottom corner of any shortcut icon. This could not be changed, hope some third party launcher can fix this.

For file shortcuts you can customize the app for opening the file, this is very helpful if you need to open only this particular file in some app. In the Android you can only setup default open app for one type of the file. For example, Android powered consoles contains many emulators which can open archives with ROMS. Actually the required emulator app related to type of the ROM in the archive, but all archives have the same type and Android system could not help in this situation. Also quality of playing some videos is better on one player but another player is better for other videos, so you can create shortcuts for your favorite videos and select the best player for each video. Providing fun icon for a cartoon allows your small children start up the cartoon without knowing its name.

There is an ability to create shortcuts on folders for quick access to the files. Some external file-browsers are supported or you can always use internal lightweight viewer.

There are already some predefined ways to create shortcuts on applications and contacts but this app also allow you customize the result shortcut to your own taste. This works only for home screen but it is not need to refuse your favorite launcher.

The app provide you rich set of system settings on which you can create shortcuts. In some cases you can interesting only is some particular settings and don't want to search its in standard settings app.

Via Transmutation feature you can change appearance of created shortcuts and re-add it again. Also you can import shortcut from other apps.
