Clicklet

Description of App

Clicklet lets the Camera Control button on your iPhone start your Apple Shortcuts. Pick one shortcut to launch with a press, or turn on Menu mode and choose from a few favorites each time.

Clicklet opens Apple Shortcuts to run your workflow, so you'll see the usual Shortcuts screens, along with any permission prompts or app handoffs your shortcut needs.

To set up your library, install the included Connect Clicklet helper. It brings in your shortcut names and small icon images, which appear in your library, in the menu, and while a shortcut opens. You can also search for a shortcut or type its name. If you used an earlier version, replace the old helper with the new one and refresh to get icons.

From the menu, tap Configure to go back to setup. You can scroll the menu by dragging along its side margins.

Your shortcut names, icons and selections stay on your device. There's no account, advertising, analytics, subscription or in-app purchase. Camera access supports the Camera Control and lock-screen handoff and shows a live preview; Clicklet doesn't save photos or videos. Launching while your iPhone is locked requires authentication.

Requires iOS 18 or later and Apple's Shortcuts app. Launching from the button requires an iPhone with Camera Control; set Clicklet in Settings > Camera > Camera Control. Opening Clicklet on its own shows your setup without running a shortcut.

Accessibility Comments

Simple and accessible to setup - there's just a single page for configuration where you are prompted to grant the app camera access, download and run the Shortcuts helper that gives the app access to your shortcuts, and then select your desired shortcut. You then set Clicklet as the app to run in the Camera Control settings.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

a nice and free tool for anyone looking to expand the capabilities of the Camera Control button, but the result isn't as streamlined as I would personally like, as when you use the Camera Control button to launch your selected shortcut, the Clicklet and Shortcuts apps are also launched.
