Description
Quikshort is a shortcut maker that lets you create custom shortcuts on your home screen, add tiles to your quick settings, and group them together to fit how you use your phone.
Whether you want to launch specific apps, navigate directly to in-app activities, or open frequently used files and folders, Quikshort makes it simple. You can also generate shortcuts for your favorite websites, direct contact dials, system settings, and both system or custom intents.
Home Screen & Quick Settings: You can create an unlimited number of home screen shortcuts and groups. Additionally, you can configure up to 15 custom tiles in your quick settings panel, expanding up to 32 tiles with the Pro version.
Customization Features: Design your shortcuts by applying icons from third-party icon packs, adding solid or gradient background colors, and adjusting the icon shapes and sizes. You can even use your own images to create custom shapes.
Groups Feature: Combine multiple related shortcuts into a single group to access them with one tap. You can place groups as open folders directly on your home screen, or set them to open as a dialog box or bottom sheet.
Backup and Restore: Quikshort saves your generated shortcuts in your device storage, so you can modify and update them later without starting from scratch. You can also export your shortcuts as files to back them up or import them onto another device.
Action Shortcuts: Create action shortcuts for everyday tasks. You can toggle device settings like Do Not Disturb and brightness, manage your clipboard, or trigger physical commands like taking a screenshot, locking your device, or opening the power menu.
==== Accessibility Service Usage ==== Quikshort uses the Accessibility Service API strictly to enable specific action shortcuts such as Power Menu, Lock Device, and Screenshot. This permission is not required for general use of the app and is only requested when a user creates any of the specific mentioned action shortcuts. Quikshort does not collect, store, or share any personal or sensitive data through the Accessibility Service. The service is used solely for the purpose of executing the mentioned action shortcuts and for no other function.

Comments on Quikshort: Shortcut Creator for Android
★★★★☆Wil Steele· Feb 25, 2026
This is a pretty great shortcuts app but even though I have unrestricted battery usage turned on for this app, the quick settings tiles still lose sync with the app and display a generic icon for all the quick tiles I've created until I open the main app. Doesn't happen all the time but over a few days or after a reboot I have to reopen the main app to get the icons to come back.

The best shortcut maker that isn't fully pay-to-use you can find.

Love this. I might even buy a pro version but the number of columns doesn't work past 5 in group widget. Hope you fix it soon and ill purchase. Samsung s24 android 16

Sadly they put their giant logo on any free icon you create...

The shortcuts it makes don't work. I just wanted to put the folders that I put different types of pictures into on one of my home screens. I have a folder for my artwork pics. A folder for my motorcycle pics. A folder for my girlfriend's pics. I'd like to just have icons for each folder along with my app icons so that I don't have to dig through menus just to look at my pictures. This app makes the shortcuts for me, but when I try clicking on the new icons it just says "app not installed"
