Website Shortcut -URL Shortcut

Create website shortcut quickly, simple app - 99 kb only

The Website Shortcut Chrome extension enables users to create website shortcuts directly on their Android phone home screens. With just two simple steps—entering a shortcut name and the website URL—users can quickly access their favorite sites without the hassle of opening a browser and typing the address.

This lightweight app, only 99 KB in size, enhances convenience by allowing shortcuts to be created via the share menu on Android devices. Note that on Android 8 and above, a small icon appears on shortcuts due to system limitations. The app requires permissions to install shortcuts and access the internet. Ideal for users seeking simplicity and speed in navigating the web.
