My Home Screen had a Shortcuts widget, an app folder and a few loose shortcut icons, all doing the same job. Every shortcut tap opened the Shortcuts app first. iOS 27 lets widgets run actions in place, so the new WidgetLoft update puts your shortcuts and your apps in the same widget.

What's new in 2.1.4:

⚡ Actions in your widgets (iOS 27): add shortcuts, app actions and apps to a group widget in Edit Widget. One tap runs them, without opening Shortcuts

🧩 Mix them freely: actions and apps sit in the same grid, in any order you like

🖼️ Real icons: give each action an icon from your own apps instead of a plain letter

🧱 Action Board: a widget made only of actions, for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen

🗂️ Tools tab: Categorize Apps tags every app with its App Store category, and Dark Icon Maker turns any picture into a dark icon

🏷️ Filter by tag while editing a group, then add them all in one tap

📖 How It Works: picture guides for every feature in Settings, plus "Show me how" on each screen

✨ A fresh new look in light and dark, and empty widgets now show how to set them up

"Isn't this just the Shortcuts widget?"

Fair question. The main differences:

• The Shortcuts widget holds only shortcuts. WidgetLoft puts shortcuts, app actions and apps side by side in one widget.
• Each action can wear a real app icon, so your widget looks like the rest of your Home Screen.
• Actions also go on the Lock Screen, next to your app folders.

Price / IAP: free to download. Optional Pro: • Monthly: $1.99 • Lifetime: $14.99 $6.99 (launch deal)

iOS 18+, actions and Action Board need iOS 27. I'm the developer and I'll be in the comments. Which shortcuts would you put on yours?

Solo dev — reviews help enormously if you enjoy it. I'll be around in the comments for questions!

Ever look at your home screen — pages of apps, folders you can't even remember the contents of — and think, "there has to be a cleaner way to do this"?

Yeah. I kept thinking that, so I built FolderMini (I'm a solo developer 👋).

FolderMini turns your apps into tidy, custom folders you launch straight from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget — one tap, no swiping through pages, no digging. You decide what goes where, how it looks, and how big it is. The latest update adds two things I'm genuinely proud of.

What it does

• ✅ Glass folder widgets — transparent folders that blend right into your wallpaper. In Clear or Tinted Home Screen mode, the app icons turn to glass too, matching the rest of your screen.
• ✅ Folders inside folders — nest a "Messaging" folder inside "Social," and drill straight into it from the widget.
• ✅ Make it yours — custom colors, icons, sizes, gradients, dark icon mode.
• ✅ Lock Screen & Dynamic Island quick launch for your most-used apps.
• ✅ 100% on-device — no account, no sign-up, no tracking. Your setup stays yours.

Ideal for

• 🧹 People whose Home Screen is honestly a bit of a mess.
• 🎨 Home Screen customization fans who love a clean, personalized setup.
• ⚡ Anyone who wants their most-used apps just one tap away.

💬 Want a free Pro unlock? Leave a comment and send me a quick DM — I'll send you a promo code. 🙌💛

I'd genuinely love to hear what you'd organize first, or what would make the app better. I read every comment. And if FolderMini makes your Home Screen even a little nicer, a rating or a short review would mean a lot to a solo developer.

Thanks for reading 🖤
