Shortcut Launcher Widget turns your Home Screen into a highly customizable launchpad for the Shortcuts you already have. There are no other apps on the App Store that offer this kind of layout precision and customization. Powered by the new iOS 27 APIs, tapping a tile runs your shortcut completely in place without any screen flicker or app bouncing. Because you have total control over the layout, you can break past the usual limits. Want to easily fit 3, 4, or even 5 shortcuts on a small widget? You can dial in the perfect grid. Pick up to 64 shortcuts and they become a beautiful grid of named tiles. This app is all about letting you build the exact widget you want. • Four widget sizes, including the new Extra Large full-page widget • 10 built-in color themes, or build your own custom look • Five density presets from edge-to-edge to roomy, or dial in exact margins, spacing, and corner radius yourself • Explicit column control: auto-fit, or pin 1, 2, 3, or more • Three backgrounds: a solid theme color, the system's own material, or your own wallpaper blended in behind the widget • Save multiple board presets and switch between them instantly No accounts. No network access. No analytics. No ads. Nothing to buy. It's a Home Screen tool, not a service.
