Feature Request: Custom Dynamic Island Outline Color & Silent Live Activity Start
Hi! Could you please add two options for Live Activities / Dynamic Island?
1. Custom outline color — an option to change the Dynamic Island outline/keyline color instead of using the fixed red color.
2. Disable the expanded popup on start — when a Live Activity is started, Dynamic Island briefly expands into a large notification/banner. It would be great to have an option to start it silently in the compact state without showing this expanded message.
I’m using Live Shortcut as a persistent VPN status indicator, so both options would make it much cleaner and less intrusive.

Love it but…
Super helpful app (for a feature apple should have put into shortcuts themselves) but very often the icon reverts to the normal icon instead of the custom one despite having paid for the app. I use it to display the date and at some point it just switches back to the normal icon.
Response from developer
Hi! I’m sorry you’re having issues with the custom icon. I just released an update that overhauls the icon setting (and added a more simple one where you can just look up an icon instead of having to supply one yourself. Can you give that a try and see?)
Great app just missing one feature
I love the app as it easily allows me to see when certain apps are launched and running such as vpn. I would really love if I can set an app target to open when I click on the live tile.
Response from developer
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I just added in the option to trigger a shortcut to run when you click on a button in the live activity. You can hook that up to another shortcut that simply opens the app to achieve what you want.
Great but features missing
Could be awesome if the message could be dynamic Like a countdown for instance
Love it
Thanks so much for making this app.

That's what I was looking for !
Hello Andrew,
I have to use this way because there is no other way to contact you.
Live Shortcut is a great App! I was looking for such a tool for some time.
I am using it to output a countdown JavaScript.
But I don't understand how to integrate an icon or define an ID.
Could you provide instructions on how to do this?

Almost there!
This app is extremely niche and is really helpful. However it lacks some essential polishing to really meet its fullest potential.
More options, for customization. Other tints than just purple preferably. Overall just more content would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! It’s been a while since you posted this but I’ve added in much more customization. Please download the latest version and give it a look!
Really cool app
I’ve purchased the app my only wish is for more customizations of the live event. More color options, font options, expanded view etc, better images instead of just emojis
Response from developer
Thanks for the support! If you don’t mind, would you update your rating to reflect the updated app?
Very useful
I find this a very useful extension, thank you very much.
How can I influence whether Live Activities is displayed in a single line or as a large field (2nd and 3rd screenshot) and can freely selectable icons be integrated?
