Hi HN,

I really like the concept of Essential Spaces from Nothing OS, especially the idea of a dedicated button to access them. You can see a demo here:

Since I didn’t want to switch to Android just for one feature, I recreated a lightweight version of this experience on iOS using:

- Apple Notes - Apple Shortcuts - Accessibility features (AssistiveTouch / Back Tap / Action Button)

I shared the setup, ready-to-use shortcuts, and a short demo in this blog post:

Hope it’s useful, enjoy!
