Home Screen icons shortcuts

Shortcuts for automating the “Add to Home Screen” experience.

Use these to batch-create new shortcuts with specific phrases and in specific folders, then use those folders of shortcuts to batch-create Home Screen icons for those shortcuts from files, Photos, or your Contacts.
