Overview

The goal of the app is to wrap shared text or links and add a prefix or suffix. The most useful application for this is quickly adding context or queries to AI chats, but it can be used for any app. For AI chats, it is similar to a system prompt or a Gemini Gem, but without the need for copy-pasting.

To extend shared text, you need to create patterns that specify what to add to the text and which application to forward the extended text to. After that, "Share Extender" will add these patterns as Android sharing shortcuts. Whenever you share something, Android will open the sharing sheet with your sharing patterns, so you can select the pattern you need.

Since Android determines how shortcuts are sorted and how many are shown for each app, you can also share directly to "Share Extender" and select a pattern with an additional click as a backup option.

Patterns

Patterns are descriptions of what should be added to the original shared text. You can add, edit, and delete them as needed. They have several fields:

Name

A short name to distinguish patterns within the app or on the sharing sheet.

Template

Describes how to extend the original text. After sharing, the application will take this description, substitute {text} with the shared text, and pass it to the target app.

Target app

The application to which "Share Extender" will forward the transformed text. You can forward it directly to a specific app, or select "System Chooser" to choose the target app during the sharing process.
