Settings Shortcuts

Add one-tap shortcuts to Android system settings and app shortcuts to any page.

What are Settings Shortcuts?

Settings Shortcuts are tiles that jump straight to a useful destination — a Tree Launcher screen, one of your default apps, or a specific Android settings screen like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Display — without digging through menus. They behave like any other item, so you can place them on any page and reorder them in Edit Mode.

Adding a Settings Shortcut

  1. Enter Edit Mode and tap +.
  2. Choose System.
  3. Pick a shortcut from the System Shortcuts sheet, which has three sections:
  4. Tree Launcher — shortcuts to app screens: App Settings and the Recycle Bin.
  5. Default Apps — shortcuts that launch your default Phone, Messages, Browser, Email, Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Gallery, Music, and Files apps.
  6. Settings — shortcuts that open Android settings screens directly.

Tapping the tile opens that screen or app immediately.

Available Settings shortcuts

All Settings, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data Roaming, Date & Time, Display, Language, Location, Security, Sound, Network, Battery Saver, and Device Info.

Availability depends on your device and Android version — some manufacturers restrict or relocate certain settings screens. If a shortcut doesn't open, that screen likely isn't exposed on your device.

App shortcuts

Many apps publish their own shortcuts (for example, "New message" or "Search"). To use them, tap and hold an app on a page to open its shortcuts sheet, then:

  • Tap Launch to open the app, or
  • Tap any listed shortcut to jump straight into that action.

App shortcuts require Tree Launcher to be set as your default launcher; otherwise Android won't share them.
