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.

Comments on Quikshort: Shortcut Creator for Android
★★★★★Yudha Subakti· Apr 30, 2026
This app helps me create shortcuts for apps I’ve hidden from the app drawer.
★★★★★Wil Steele· Jul 13, 2026
I think the app needs an update to better recognize if you've paid for the pro level or not. Randomly when I try to use one of my shortcuts it'll tell me I don't have pro installed and when I try to get it to recognize that I've paid already it still says it can't find my payment. Eventually it'll work, but it's kind of annoying. The way I've gotten it to work is by trying to pay again and that's when it tells me that I've already paid for pro. The restore purchase option doesn't work.
★★★★★Muhamed Sljivic· Jul 26, 2026
Great tool for making shortcuts. Pls, just remove that tiny arrow symbol from the shortcut icons, we need icons to be clean.
★★★★★Julianne suzette Candelario· Apr 21, 2026
This is the only app where I can add a good translucent icon, high quality, and it doesn't have an annoying watermark when you open the shortcut. I've been looking for this, thank you🙏

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"

Bought pro version then was unable to install on a second device, so uninstalled from original device and was unable to get a refund. It's less than a dollar, so I'm not going to worry about it, but this app doesn't do anything that Shortcut Maker doesn't also do.
