Create URL Shortcuts with Shortcut To URL App

"Shortcut To URL" is an Android app that allows users to create shortcuts to URLs directly on their home screens. It simplifies the shortcut creation process by enabling users to share URLs from any browser without needing to use existing bookmarks. The app accepts any URL protocol, and while it doesn't require internet access permission, users should note that shortcuts may fail if there is no space on the home screen. When uninstalling on Android 8.0 or later, all created shortcuts will be removed.

★Note: When uninstall this app on Android 8.0 or later, the shortcuts that created by this app will be also deleted.

This app supports to create a shortcut to the URL.
It can create a shortcut without using a bookmark from default browser.
Also this app can receive a text that includes URLs.

How to use:
1. Opens the website which wants to create shortcut by a default browser.
2. Opens this app from Menu→More→Share page→Share via→"Shortcut To URL". URL will be filled automatically.
3. Shortcut will be created on the home by inputting "Name" and pressing "OK" button.

Specifications and Limitations:
* Any protocol will be accepted.
* Creation of shortcut may fail when center of the home screen doesn't have any space.
* "Name" is not filled automatically because a browser will pass to this app only the URL.
Also I don't want to add internet access permission to this app.

It works! Simple and useful. You can open links from any browser and can customize the icon, at least with the right launcher. Thanks devs, this is exactly what I was looking for!
