QuickShortcutMaker

With the QuickShortcutMaker app, you can quickly access the different tasks that are running on your smartphone to check that they are all doing their job.

Creates shortcuts to running applications and tasks

Accessing your phone's settings to find a running program can sometimes be a hassle: the Android menu isn't exactly known for its user-friendliness and it can be very difficult to find the background application you're looking for.

Shortcuts for running applications and tasks

However, with QuickShortcutMaker we get a shortcut menu that takes us straight to the menu we need at the moment. To do this we just have to download the APK to our smartphone or tablet and after installing the app we'll have a quick access menu.

Its main purpose is to create shortcuts to the applications in the list of activities installed on the phone and customize them. In this way, the user can even "hide" applications with a different logo and name so that they remain unnoticed.

In addition, the application has a built-in search engine where you just have to type the app's name to retrieve it from all installed apps, including a favorite apps shortcut.

The most important features

These are the main features of the app:

• Filters by Tasks/Activities, Apps and Favorites.
• Searches by keyword.
• The choice between incremental and normal search mode.
• Sorts the results alphabetically.
• Displays icons in the list for easier access.
• search history.
• Changes the task icons.
• Starts activities and verifies that they are doing what they are supposed to do.
• Display of app data and possibility to share it
• Creates shortcuts on the home screen.
• Direct access to the corresponding page on Google Play.

This application comes to correct what is still not perfect despite the improvements that have been poured into the Android versions. The operating system lacks a good task manager that allows us to find the task we want.

At the same time, it also fulfills the useful function of finding all those applications that we don't use often and that are sometimes difficult to find among all the applications that we've downloaded to our smartphone and whose access we haven't placed on the home screen.

And as if that weren't enough, its use also avoids installing an additional launcher, something not everyone likes since this application can consume more resources and add useless or even annoying elements, such as third-party advertising applications or unobtrusive aesthetic changes.
