Custom Activity Shortcuts in Pop-ups

Niagara Launcher already allows adding pop-ups with multiple shortcuts, which is extremely useful.

For example, I use a Spotify pop-up that contains my most-used playlists so I can access them directly without navigating through the app’s start page.


Currently, only the default shortcuts provided by an app can be added to a pop-up. Many apps offer very limited predefined shortcuts. For example, YouTube only provides shortcuts for search and subscriptions.


Proposed feature:
Allow users to create custom shortcuts to any app activity that is accessible to launchers.


Example use cases:

  • Open personal YouTube playlists directly

  • Jump straight to one’s own Instagram profile posts

  • Open specific sections of apps without going through the main start page

Why this would be valuable:

  • Reduces friction when accessing frequently used sections

  • Minimizes exposure to distracting feeds, ads, and recommendations

  • Makes pop-ups significantly more powerful and flexible


This feature would be optional and only used by users who need it, so it would not add complexity for others.
