Quick Settings

Power up your notification shade with 50 customizable tiles

Quick Settings takes full advantage of the Quick Settings Tile API to expand what lives in your pull-down panel. Built by Simone Sestito, this free utility adds a deep roster of tiles that go beyond the basics, letting you place shortcuts to system actions and even launch specific apps straight from the notification shade.

The app’s catalog features more than 50 tiles, organized into clear categories so you can find what you need without hunting. Each tile offers configuration options, allowing you to tailor behavior to your routine rather than living with a one-size-fits-all toggle. Once you enable a tile, it appears in the drop-down right away, which makes experimenting with layouts and combinations straightforward. It feels like a thoughtful companion to the built-in toggles, filling gaps and giving power users finer control over everyday tasks.

Compatibility is broad, with support for a variety of third-party Android skins, including MIUI. That said, there is an important caveat: some Chinese manufacturer overlays do not play nicely with these tiles. If your device uses one of those custom skins, results may vary, and certain shortcuts might not be available. This is a platform limitation rather than a fault of the tool, but it is worth noting before you commit to a new setup.

Quick Settings is easy to get to grips with, and the breadth of tiles plus per-shortcut customization make it a compelling way to streamline routine actions. The developer continues to expand the collection, so the value should grow as new tiles are added in future updates. If you want more control over your notification shade and prefer a tidy, centralized approach to shortcuts, this utility earns a confident recommendation.
