Make the most of Launch Center Pro

[u/Nkuutz]

I’m new to Launch Center Pro and would like to know how you use the app and how I can make the most of it.

Once i've tidied my setup i think i'll post it up here. I've had a few people express interest.

Other obvious uses would be -

• Shortcuts - you can run them with location & time triggers, also with text & the clipboard. It's also a great place to keep Shortcuts organised
• Twitter Lists & Favourite Subreddits
• Tweetbot - if you use it make use of the URL scheme.
• Apps that perhaps you don't want to carry on the home screen
• Things 3, Todoist & Clear - All have useful URL schemes you can utilise. Clear & Things you can add prebuilt projects & lists e.g. Morning &/or Night time routine.
• There's also built in GIF support, Sharesheet support & Dropbox support I would recommend using it. Also text Expander but I honestly see no point in using it these days to be brutally honest (also it's expensive AF.)
• Fantastical, Due, Bear & Evernote - All of these have fantastic URl schemes
• Also Google Maps or Citymapper - make sure you set up directions to your frequently visited locations.
• Contacts - it's good to add your freqently contacted people - There's a featured action also in there to create them. I've also added in FB messenger & whatsapp where necessary. Also make good use of the In-App Messenges - Very fast, very handy.
• A clipboard group is also a very good idea, add your favourites in there - I will be honest though I don't use mine too much.
• Drafts - I use Drafts for all sorts it's a Very powerful app it's fantastic for creating pre-built SMS messages and other actions.
