These free ad free programs help you make efficient shortcuts
using Android activities & intents to make you more efficient.
An example is that I have a "privacy" folder which has a set
of one-click shortcuts for each of the privacy settings
confusingly scattered about deep inside the Android settings.
If you're tapping more than once to find something, you're
not being as efficient as you could be with single-tap shortcuts.

For clarification of the difference between Android activities & intents.
"An activity communicates with other activities
(in the same app and across different apps) with an intent."

*What's the difference between activity and intent?*
<
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16260028/whats-the-difference-between-activity-and-intent-in-android>>
"In very simple language, an Activity is your user interface and whatever you
can do with a user interface. When you move from one user interface, you
need to launch that new user interface with an Intent. The Intent is your
event that is passed along with data from the first user interface to another.
Intents can be used between user interfaces and background services too.
Also an Intent is passed when you want to broadcast data to all activities
and background services.
The Intent lives as an object, the activity lives with a face & interactions."
