Shortcut To URL - Create Shortcut to URLs Easily
Shortcut To URL is an Android app that allows users to create shortcuts to URLs easily. The app can create a shortcut without using a bookmark from the default browser. Additionally, it can receive a text that includes URLs. The app is available for free and falls under the Business & Productivity category.
To use the app, simply open the website you want to create a shortcut for using the default browser. Next, open the app from Menu→More→Share page→Share via→"Shortcut To URL". The URL will be automatically filled in. Finally, input a name for the shortcut and press the "OK" button.
The app accepts any protocol and can handle URLs included in texts. However, the creation of shortcuts may fail when the center of the home screen doesn't have any space. Also, the "Name" field is not filled automatically as the browser only passes on the URL. The app developer has chosen not to add internet access permission to the app. Please note that when uninstalling the app on Android 8.0 or later, the shortcuts created by the app will also be deleted.
Overall, Shortcut To URL is a useful app for those who frequently visit specific websites and want to create shortcuts for easy access.
