Sometimes, many find it a bit annoying having to go through several steps to go somewhere on the mobile or open any document or file. This has a solution, and is called Shorty, an app that shortens us from having to do several things by creating and applying shortcuts on the main screen of our Android.
This useful application is really functional and very simple, so it is easy to handle it and manage the shortcuts we want to go to, whether they are images, documents, music, other apps and web pages. Next, we explain how to use it. Let's see!
In Android, as a default function, we can create shortcuts on the main screen of the phone, as well as folders in which we can store various apps. Despite this, it does not allow adding some more specific things, as it does Shorty.
With this app, what we could not do when creating shortcuts is a thing of the past. With it we can organize them in a simple way. We explain how:
How to create shortcuts to anything with Shorty
The way to make and put shortcuts on the Android desktop is extremely easy. For it only we will have to download Shorty and open it (link to the Play Store at the end of the post). Then we just have to click Create Shortcut and select the elements that we want to put.
Another thing that the app allows us is to give it a form shortcut icon. There are three customizations available: text, thumbnail, and preview. In the first we can write up to ten words in the name; the second will show an image depending on the type of file; and in the third, a preview of the images or photos is what will be detailed. We can also choose the background color of the icon and write a custom label.
