Launch URLs for Popular Apps

LifeTopix My Apps

As of ver­sion 5.0, Life­Topix added a fea­ture called My Apps that allows you to man­age a list of your favorite apps and launch them directly from within LifeTopix.

When you add a new app to My Apps, it requires a title (e.g. Ever­note), a launch URL (e.g., Evernote://) and an App Id which helps in locat­ing the proper icon of the app (e.g., 281796108 for Evernote).

For the ben­e­fit of our users, we have cre­ated a table of some pop­u­lar apps on the App Store. Over time, we’l keep updat­ing it with addi­tional entries.

Our users are wel­come to sub­mit the ones they have found as com­ments to this page and we can update the table. Other sites such as http://handleopenurl.com include infor­ma­tion about URLs for apps as well.

The infor­ma­tion here comes with­out any guar­an­tees and is meant only as a help­ful resource for our users. Listed apps have trade­marks owned by their respec­tive vendors.

    Guys– can one set up Apple Mail and Safari in MyApps or am I to assume this cant be done because you don’t list them in the examples?

      Hi Dave,

      Thank you for reach­ing out to us with your question.

      You can setup My Apps to launch the device Mail app by going to “My Apps” and tap­ping the “+” icon located at the top right of the screen. Enter mailto: as the launch URL. Using this URL will result in the Mail app’s email com­poser being launched. After the com­poser is launched you can always can­cel to see your email list. To setup Safari you can enter http://www.apple.com as the launch URL.

      Best regards,
      Team LighArrow
