On Monday, Google introduced Android 9.0 Pie, bringing with it a beta of the Digital Wellbeing app. Seeing detailed stats around how I use my phone is of great interest to me. But having to dig into the system settings to access this information is of less interest to me.

With this (admittedly minor) inconvenience in mind, I set about knocking together an app that makes it easier to access the Digital Wellbeing app, and the result is Pixel Shortcuts.

Pixel Shortcuts is a helper utility that makes it easier to load apps already on your device that for whatever reason don’t appear in your launcher. Digital Wellbeing is one such app, but there are others, especially system launchers such as Pixel Launcher, Android Launcher and Samsung Experience Home.
