Pixel Shortcuts: Launcher/Digital Wellbeing helper
Pixel Shortcuts is a helper utility that makes it easier to load apps already on your device that for whatever reason don't appear in your launcher. Digital Wellbeing is one such app, but there are others, especially system launchers such as Pixel Launcher, Android Launcher and Samsung Experience Home.
By default these apps do not appear in the app drawer of a launcher, and can only be accessed by digging into the device's system settings. Pixel Shortcuts fixes this problem by both making these apps appear in a launcher's app drawer, and providing widgets that can be dragged to a home screen to directly load the apps.
Pixel Shortcuts offers is a way to more easily load otherwise obscured apps already on your device - nothing more, nothing less. Please see here for a detailed Pixel Shortcuts FAQ: https://blog.actionlauncher.com/pixel-shortcuts-faq-1005265ef5fb
Pixel Shortcuts is provided completely free of charge. If you find utility in the app, please consider checking out our main apps ActionDash and Action Launcher

This app is almost perfect. It makes my Pixel Launcher and Digital Wellbeing app appear on home screen and app drawer. My phone is Vivo 1904 using Funtouch 9 OS @ Android 9. I sideloaded Digital Wellbeing app and the app is functioning although it supposed not to. The dashboard, bedtime mode and DND are working and i'm happy. Thanks dev!
This app doesn't work on the Note 9. It doesn't even recognize that I have action launcher installed, but it does for some reason recognize the default launcher and asks if I want to add that to my homescreen instead.
Used it to get Digital Wellbeing shortcut on my Nova launcher home screen on S9+ (since I did not know which particular activity shortcut to use with Nova).
Helped to add Digital Wellbeing app shortcut on the home screen. Thanks a lot!
Aparently it says that digital wellbeing is not found even though my device (samsung a10) is running on android pie
It could not function well, the app it recommended would not function in my device, so I un installed it for now.
Pixel Shortcuts does the few things that Google Forgot. I recommend it highly...
Very nice app. Could you please add Smart Lock shortcut?
Doesn't work on my android
" GOOD INFORMATION, 5 STAR'S PLUS "
working as it says
I will give this fon to my sister
think by ur self
It does what it says perfectly, would love if it was able to add the same shortcuts to quick settings.
Great idea, I would love this more if I was able to add shortcuts in here.l, such as Google weather and others! Thanks!
Simply incredible. Chris Lacy is one of the best developers Android has at it's disposal.
Great job Chris, very helpful
Solves a very specific problem elegantly
Awesome job here, Chris. You're the man! ✌️💯
Cheers mate. Works good!!
Would be great if I could hide the Pixel Shortcuts icon from the launcher. I'm not going to add another useless icon just to get the Digital Wellbeing icon in my launcher, y'know?
Its ok
Android
Does exactly what the description says it does. Unfortunately for Note 9 users such as myself, Digital Wellbeing is not installed by default. Even if you sideload the APK, the app really doesn't do half of what you want it to unless your phone is rooted. I'm no longer the power user I once was, so unless Samsung deems my phone worthy of Digital Wellbeing in a future update (they won't), DW is pretty damn useless.
