My Apps

Apraksts

This plugin adds a /my-apps/ route to your WordPress so that it can act as your personal apps launcher — a dashboard that feels like a mobile phone home screen, so you don’t have to navigate wp-admin to reach the apps you use.

Apps can be plugins that register their own icon, custom links you add yourself, or plugins you install on demand from the built-in app store.

Features

• Launcher at /my-apps/ with grid or flow layouts, drag-to-reorder, and an edit mode for customization.
• Display settings live in the launcher itself (no admin page): icon size, spacing, grid columns, layout toggle, and an optional personalized greeting. Settings are stored per-device while in edit mode.
• App Store for installing new apps: browse a curated catalog, view app detail pages, and install via WordPress Playground blueprints. Paste a custom blueprint JSON from the clipboard to install anything.
• Auto-registered icons after a blueprint install — if the installed plugin doesn’t register its own icon, one is generated with a category-colored gradient.
• Import/export your launcher configuration from the settings dropdown.
• Mobile-friendly: full-screen app store, three icons per row, and a My Apps link in the admin bar on the frontend.

Adding an app from a plugin

Plugins can register their own launcher icon by filtering my_apps_plugins:

add_filter( 'my_apps_plugins', function ( $apps ) {
    // Add your app to the array. These three keys are mandatory:
    $apps['friends'] = array(
        // Name: The name that will be displayed.
        'name'     => __( 'Friends', 'friends' ),
        // The icon as a URL. You can also use a local URL inside a plugin, using `plugins_url()`.
        'icon_url' => 'https://ps.w.org/friends/assets/icon-256x256.png',
        // The URL this should link to.
        'url'      => home_url( '/friends/' ),
    );
    return $apps;
} );
