What the app does with your choices

You pick an installed app or type a link, choose an icon and a name, and the app asks your launcher to put a shortcut on the home screen. The icon is drawn on your phone. Nothing about your choices is sent anywhere: the app has no permission to use the internet and contains no network code of its own.

Your list of apps

To show you a list of apps to choose from, the app asks Android for the apps that have a launcher icon. It does not ask for the permission that lists every package on the phone. The list is used on the screen and is never stored or sent.

Photos

If you use a photo as an icon, you pick it in the system photo picker. The app receives only that one photo, shrinks it, and keeps a copy in its own private storage so the shortcut can be added again later. The app asks for no storage, camera or media permission.

What stays on your phone

The shortcuts you made (name, what they open, symbol, colours, shape and the photo copy), your collections, and a few settings. There is no account, no server of ours, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. We cannot see any of it. The shortcut on your home screen belongs to your launcher, and your launcher may show a small badge on it.

Files you save

Export all my data writes one JSON file, and Back up to a file writes one zip file, only where you choose in the system file dialog. A backup is read only when you pick one in Restore from a file. The files are not encrypted, so keep them somewhere you trust.

What Google collects

Purchases go through Google Play Billing. Google collects App info and performance > Diagnostics (collected, not shared by us with anyone, required for purchases to work) under Google's own privacy policy.

Your controls

Settings > Export all my data saves everything the app stores. Settings > Delete all data erases saved shortcuts, collections, photos and settings and returns the app to a fresh install; shortcuts already on your home screen belong to your launcher, so you remove those there. Uninstalling removes the app's data. If you use Android backup, the saved shortcuts and photo copies may be included in your Google backup; turning backup off in Android settings stops that.

Children

The app is not designed for children under 13 and collects nothing from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published at the address above with a new date. Last updated: 2026-11-07.
