Quickpick: Custom Shortcuts for Notification Center

2011-12-18
hey guys this is Austin and today and here's a video on quick pic click pic is an awesome little application allows you to add custom links to your notification center so for example if I want I can go straight to make a new tweet and keep in mind this is not just opening the Twitter applications actually going into the Twitter application and creating a new tweet which is pretty neat on top of that you can also open up a safari link so for example you know if I feel like I'm not wasting quite enough time today I can just immediately get to read it and waste a few more hours you can also do different things for example you can call and text people you can also email them I won't demo that and i want to show anybody number anything like that but of course that does work now on top of that you can also get to system settings so for example if you want to know really quickly get to your brightness turn on and off Wi-Fi 3g etc this is a great way to go so let me give you guys a little demo of how this works so all you do is open up the quick pic application and one of the really nice things about this is that it does not require a jailbroken device this is an app that you can download in the App Store so go ahead make a new one here the application is very very basic very simple basically the entire point of the application is just to be able to get your links here so don't expect anything really amazing what you can do is you can add up to five links if you have an iPhone and if you have an iPad you can have up to ten say let's go ahead just give you guys a demo of how to make them so if you want to there are a few presets so for example if you wanna call to somebody open a website compose a new email or text message you can just set those up automatically and you can just pick them out from your contacts but if you want to do something a little bit more advanced you can just do it manually so for example I want to let's say I want to create something for Wi-Fi so I want to just punch and Wi-Fi here as the title and that's why it will show up up there and then i can create the link now the links are actually a little bit more tricky there are links for pretty much everything on your device so you know pretty much all apps can be open with links like i said their settings there's all kinds of stuff but these really require you to actually find the links themselves i will have as many of them as I can put in the description but it really helps if you can actually find them yourself but i will go ahead and try to show you guys a couple so for example if you want to do something like preferences you can just do this so i will just add up here it's prefs and this is of course to get a I strike toggle to Wi-Fi so get semicolon and we have root equals and all caps Wi-Fi the way that works is for the most part like if you won't get to settings you just go prefs semicolon root equals and then you know Wi-Fi or whatever like that so once you're done with that you can click done pull your notification center down and if i click on it now it'll take me straight to Wi-Fi so i can turn it on/off etc etc quick pic is a dollar in the App Store and if you're interested I would highly recommend getting on it sooner rather than later these kind of apps have a way of disappearing from the app store after a few days once Apple catches wind of them so if you're interested again just look up its quick pick in the app store hayleigh guys if you enjoyed this video definitely sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you want to see more videos like this be sure to subscribe
