Quick Dialer: Speeddial Widget

Quick Dialer turns the people you call most into big call buttons on your home screen. Pick anyone from your contacts, add the Quick Dialer widget, and calling them takes a single tap. No opening the phone app, no searching, no scrolling. I built Quick Dialer for my grandmother. She has a touchscreen phone but finds it hard to use, and finding a contact to call was always a struggle. Now she taps a photo on her home screen and the call starts. It works the same way for anyone who wants faster calling. WHO IT IS FOR • Older people, or anyone who is not comfortable with smartphones • Parents and carers setting up a phone for someone else • Anyone who wants speed-dial buttons for the people they call every day HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Quick Dialer and add people from your contacts, up to 6 per widget. 2. Choose which number to use for each person. 3. Put the Quick Dialer widget on your home screen and tap a person to call. BIG, CLEAR BUTTONS • Large photo buttons with names, easy to see and easy to tap • The widget fits its size, with 1, 2 or 3 columns • "Larger contact buttons" mode shows big cards, each with its own green Call button • High-contrast design that works in light and dark mode NO CALLS BY MISTAKE • By default, a tap opens your phone's dialer with the number filled in • Turn on "Ask before calling" for a large "Call now?" screen with the person's photo and name • Or turn on "Call immediately" so one tap starts the call straight away EASY TO SET UP FOR SOMEONE ELSE • Put people in order with big Move up and Move down buttons • Hide the widget's Edit button when you are done, so nothing gets changed by accident • Make several lists, such as Family, Work and Doctors, and put each one on its own widget CHANGE HOW IT LOOKS • Widget colours: glass, colours from your wallpaper (Android 12 and later), or any colour • Adjust opacity, all the way to a fully see-through widget • Choose a card colour, or hide the cards so photos sit right on the widget • Hide names to show photos only, so more people fit • Experimental: up to 9 people per widget PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up • Contacts stay on your phone and are never uploaded or shared • Contacts permission is only requested when you add a person • The phone permission is only requested if you turn on "Call immediately" Quick Dialer can be supported with an optional tip through Google Play. Tips do not unlock anything; every feature is available to everyone.
