Activity Launcher
What exactly does Activity Launcher do?
Activity Launcher shows you a list of every app on your phone, and when you tap an app, it reveals all the hidden menus and screens inside that app. You can then create a shortcut for any of those screens and place it on your home screen for one-tap access.
How do I create a shortcut to a specific settings screen like Low Power Mode?
Open Activity Launcher, tap the Settings app from the main list, then scroll through the second list until you find the screen you want, like "Battery" or "Low Power Mode." Press and hold on that item and select "Create shortcut" to add a new icon to your home screen.
The list of activities shows strange technical names I don't understand. How do I know which one to pick?
You don't need to understand the technical names—just look for the familiar ones like "Battery," "Display & Brightness," or "Sounds." If you're unsure, you can tap an item to preview what screen it opens before creating a shortcut.
I created a shortcut but it doesn't work or opens the wrong screen. What should I do?
First, make sure you selected the correct activity from the list—some activities with similar names can be tricky. If it still doesn't work, delete the shortcut and try a different activity with a slightly different name, like "BatterySettings" instead of "BatteryInfo."
How does Activity Launcher compare to Apple's built-in Shortcuts app?
Activity Launcher is simpler and more direct—it gives you a raw list of every hidden screen without requiring you to build custom automations or learn scripting. Apple's Shortcuts app is more powerful for multi-step tasks, but Activity Launcher is faster for creating a single tap shortcut to a specific settings screen.
