Tired of manually opening Split View every time? You know how it goes: open App A, drag App B from the Dock, adjust the divider, start working — and then do it all over again next time. Splicon fixes this for good. Create a custom icon that launches two apps in Split View with a single tap. Set it once on your Home Screen, and you're done forever. WHY SPLICON EXISTS iOS Shortcuts can create Split View shortcuts — but the only icon option is an emoji. When you have five or six shortcuts, a row of random emojis tells you nothing. Splicon generates a clean side-by-side icon from the actual app icons of both apps, so you can see at a glance which pair you're launching. HOW IT WORKS (5 minutes, once) 1. Search and select your two apps inside Splicon 2. Your combined icon is generated instantly 3. Save it to Photos 4. Open the Shortcuts app, create a Split View shortcut, and set the saved icon 5. Add to Home Screen — done POPULAR COMBINATIONS • ChatGPT + YouTube — research while watching • Gmail + Calendar — reply without switching apps • Notion + Slack — document conversations in real time • Kindle + Obsidian — read and capture notes together • YouTube + GoodNotes — take notes during video lectures • Perplexity + Safari — verify research sources side by side PLANS Free — Create and save up to 3 icon pairs Pro (one-time purchase) — Unlimited pairs + icon history for easy regeneration REQUIREMENTS • iPad only • iPadOS 15 or later • Split View-compatible iPad model Turn your iPad into the multitasking machine it was built to be.
