The "Info" page shows the number of shortcut uses by active shortcut name on newer versions of Android. This information is collected from the Android O/S tracking of shortcut uses and covers about the last 8 days (this may vary by phone manufacturer). It is not tracked separately from the O/S, is not stored, and is not transmitted off the device by the app.
Caveat emptor: This app uses internal APIs for connecting and disconnecting. As of Android 9 Pie, these APIs are light-gray listed (as opposed to black listed and marked for removal), but they could be removed at some later date without replacement. Please keep this in mind and enjoy using the app while these APIs are available.
