Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The widget learns which applications you may need at the moment and displays shortcuts to them. You can easily adjust the appearance of the widget to your needs, define the number of shortcuts, size of icons, freely expand or reduce it. It will perfectly match the current look and theme of your home screen. You can define your own rules by indicating the application to which shortcuts you want to have at hand depending on the time of day, place or activity. Don't forget to add the widget to the home screen after installing the application.
