About this app

Meet Shorty - your floating shortcut buddy!

Shorty is a cute little pet that lives on top of your screen. It walks around, climbs the edges, reacts when you tap it, and makes playful synthetic sounds - a tamagotchi-style desktop pet for your Android phone. But Shorty isn't just adorable: it's a powerful shortcut launcher and quick-note tool that's always one gesture away.

✦ Floating overlay pet
Shorty roams freely over any app as a floating widget. Grab it, drag it, drop it, and watch it stroll and climb back into place.

✦ Gesture shortcuts
Assign your favorite actions to taps and gestures - open the camera, launch the gallery, start any app, and more. Trigger the things you use most without digging through menus.

✦ Quick notes
Send selected text straight to Shorty from any app, keep a shared note always in reach, and see a note indicator right on your buddy.

✦ HTTP pings
Define named HTTP requests (GET/POST and more), fire them on a schedule or with one tap from Shorty, and see status badges on your buddy. Optional local notifications, on-device response history, and a gesture to trigger a ping anytime - all stored on your device.

✦ Make it yours
Pick any color with the RGB/HEX picker, adjust size and walking speed, choose light or dark theme, and mute sounds whenever you like.

✦ Multi-language
Full support for English, Polish, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean - auto-detected from your system with a manual switcher.
