Question Widget to Display A Menu to Jump to Selected Home Screen Page?

[4WoofGrrrr]

I am looking for some kind of Widget (or other app) that, when I tap on it, it will display a menu of all the pages on my home screen, and when I select it, will jump to that page.

I have a lot of home screen pages: 15. There's just so much swiping!

I use Nova Launcher on Pixel 9 Pro XL. Android 15.

I have asked the Nova developers for this to be directly built into Nova, but I've never gotten any response. I'm not surprised, really. If you've been following things, I have read that the company that bought Nova has let go all but one developer - the original developer.

It does help a bit that I use the Multiple Picture Wallpaper app. Each page has it's own wallpaper. Each image has text that identifies tha page.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
---Mark

Yeah, Nova is unfortunately pretty much dead at this point. You can add a widget for 'Nova Action', however, and one of them is a 'Jump to Page' as well as 'Desktop previews'.

Thank you for your reply. I will try what you suggest.

Yeah, dead. Sad. If they're going to kill it, why, oh, why don't they open-source it???!!!

Do you use something else that you're happy with?

Ever since Nova started being so buggy with newer OS's and 'the writing on the wall' was set when they laid off the Team, I just switched to OneUI. I tried out the suggestions above, however, and I don't think they'll work for what you want The 'desktop preview' is the same as if you basically tap and hold on the homescreen and scroll through the pages...which you'd still have to scroll through every page. And the 'go to page' shortcut doesn't prompt you which one, it's a fixed shortcut to a certain page

Also, they can't open-source it because the dev doesn't own it. They got bought out, so that's someone else's product at this point.
