Personalize your Android homescreen by creating your own icon shortcuts for websites (URL/URIs). Customize your website shortcuts with your own selected text and image. Furthermore, there are no advertisements and it's free. I made it originally for myself, and decided to share. Giving a fair rating is very well appreciated!

From Android Oreo on (due to an API change, upon which this app is built), the bottom right tiny icon of the app the shortcut belongs to is added automatically by the launcher.

Features:
* Choose your own label and icon for the shortcut and the website URL/URI to open
* Icon selection via local file selection
* Works with most icon packs
* Supports usage of general URIs (e.g., mailto:[email protected] )
* Broad support for image formats: *.png, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.ico, *.gif, *.bmp
* Automatic https scheme suggestion if it misses from the URL
* Make use of "Share via..." in any other application (e.g., a browser) to conveniently fill the website URL/URI field
* View the labels and website URL/URIs of currently present shortcuts of the app (navigate to the in-app drawer menu -> "Current shortcuts")
* Free
* No advertisements

--- Data policy

Creation of a shortcut is done by passing the shortcut design (label/icon) and an Intent with the website (URL/URI) to the system shortcut manager and the launcher. The system shortcut manager and the launcher create and manage the shortcuts, and maintain them with their associated Intents. In some cases (e.g., upon app, launcher or system update, or restore from back-up), the system shortcut manager or launcher might lose icons of existing shortcuts or even entire shortcuts. It is recommended to keep somewhere a list of labels, icons and website URL/URIs so you can recreate easily. In the app drawer menu, you can open the "Current shortcuts" which displays the labels and website URL/URIs of the still present shortcuts retrieved from the system shortcut manager.

In this version (≥ v3.0.0) a large randomly generated identifier is used to uniquely name shortcuts such that the launcher can uniquely identify shortcuts. In prior versions (≤ v2.1), a creation timestamp was used as unique identifier. Shortcuts created by prior versions (≤ v2.1) will still have their creation timestamp stored within their Intent and unique name.

Uninstalling the app (i.e. via Settings -> Apps -> Application List -> Website Shortcut -> Uninstall) will remove the app from the device, including its data. The Android uninstallation procedure will also notify the system shortcut manager and the launcher, which should remove from it all shortcuts associated with the app.

There are no advertisements in this app.

App ChangeLog

  • * Creation form: shortcut directly resembles design + extra app info
  • * Icon selection limited to local files and thus remove auto-detect (to simplify creation form and as the app purpose is to select your own label/icon; else "Add to homescreen" of browsers suffices)
  • * "Current shortcuts" in app drawer menu
  • * New shortcuts: improved open latency by removing go-between activity + uniquely named by randomly generated UUID instead of timestamp
  • * Performance and theme tweaks
  • * No app permissions

    Downloaded out of curiosity. One star just to post, not to review. Unnecessarily complicated. Go to web page, tap three dots top right (menu), tap download (downward pointing arrow), when done, go back, tap "add to home screen". Make sure you put it where you want it. You now have a website shortcut by Chrome on your home screen. Simple.

    Unbelievably necessary for everyone! It blows my mind that such a simple function is not included in the Android 11 operating system. Google severely drop the ball when it comes to custom URLs in a shortcut. Thank you so much for making this app

    So silly that the standard browsers are so ill equipped. This app will allow complex urls so I can bookmark right to my local area's weather radar. Chrome, Firefox, and Brave's native home screen link function would not cooperate to do this. 5 stars.

    No more "App not installed". Extremely useful for creating web shortcut widgets not tied to a particular browser app—e.g. if you change you default browser from time to time and either disable or uninstall the previous one. Also, this app has no ads, no in-app purchases; as simple as it gets.

    Fixed Default Browser Shortcut. Urls weren't opening in default browser. Not sure if it's some new embedded thing in Android or if something was broken. I looked and tried several things. This app fixed the abbreviated browser that was opening. AWESOME!

    Amazing, no BS app that works! Hallelujah! It even tried to automaticly find an icon for you! Hallelujah!

    This app does only one thing and does it very well. I'd grown tired of shortcut icons that pictured only a single letter and was looking for the easiest way to customize icons that couldn't be recognized at a glance. In seconds I can fix that boring icon and make the new shortcut so much easier to identify. Thank you, dev, for sharing this wonderful little tool!

    I prefer to go to websites but new lite browsers make this increasingly difficult. This FREE, easy to use & AD-FREE app let's me do that. Saves my battery and data.

    It Works! Does exactly what it says in an easy way even on Android 9. Many shortcut apps don't actually put the shortcut on the home screen, but this one works. It's advantage over the shortcut features on many browsers is that this one will point to the current default browser instead of the one used to create the shortcut if done from within a browser. Nice advantage if you switch browsers. Only desire a way to suppress the watermark added to the icon. I'd pay for that.

    Thanks you creator! This took forever to find, but it was worth it. After an update to my phone, I lost all my shortcuts on the home screen and couldn't use the "add to homescreen" function anymore. A lot of people are having this issue, so I will recommend this. I run a business and it's important to have the function to get to websites I use on a daily basis. It was fast and easy and worked like a charm!
