Activate Link is a tweak released during this evening in Cydia, and with its help we can quickly access URLs to web pages or internal URLs of the iOS of our iDevices. More precisely, using the gesture system available through the Activator plugin, we can select a maximum of 5 urls that are automatically accessed by iDevices when we double-tap anywhere on the screen, press a button or swipe. URLs can either open web pages using Safari, or they can activate various functions of the operating system, as if we control functions through the Settings application.
Activate Link is a simple tweak that lets you open URLs using Activator events. Activate Link supports Web URLs as well as System URL Schemes. This tweak lets you set up to five URLs that can be opened with Activator events such as tapping the status bar, double tapping the sleep button or triple tapping the home button. Examples of things you can do are:
- Open a favorite web page in Safari.
- Get maps to take you to a favorite location (eg http://maps.apple.com/?q=1060+West+Addison,Chicago for apple maps or comgooglemaps://?daddr=10+Downing+Street,London for Google Maps).
- Open a favorite TV show in imdb (eg imdb:///title/tt0944947/).
- Compose a tweet in your preferred Twitter client that supports URL schemes.
Activate Link it is available for free in the repo BigBoss al Cydia.
