PINshortcuts is an Xposed module that lets you assign PIN for opening app from your Android phone’s lockscreen. For instance, by entering the default PIN, you will unlock your phone and if you set 1234 as PIN for “Phone” app, entering it will open that app.

The app is simple to use and useful one. What it does is it simply allows you to set shortcuts on your lockscreen for opening apps. However, if you set PIN for several apps, you have to remember many different PIN codes. This is not a good idea.

Installation Instruction:
