What’s your favorite shortcut?

Not sure if you are tired of hearing this but: Thanks for your channel. I've been watching since you started and its only getting better and better

@murtadha96 2 года назад

I created a really nice shortcut called "Study" and it uses an action introduced in iPadOS 15. The shortcut goes like this: present a list of two options: Web or PDF, choosing the first will open Brave (my go-to browser for studying) in which I have a page open for my online college module, it then opens Notion in slide-over and then I put an action to navigate to the specific page where I put notes for that module. Finally I lock the screen orientation to landscape and present a list asking for what background noise to play: Fireplace, Rain or Others. The last one triggers the full list of sounds from Dark Noise to choose from, while the first two just plays the corresponding sound from Dark Noise. The PDF option does the same thing but instead of opening Brave it open PDF Expert 😁

I use a shortcut for setting my medication reminders. I used to always say “hey Siri, in 4 hours remind me medication”. With iOS 15 I was hoping Siri would be 100% local, but it still uses internet to know how to use my voice. So reminder shortcuts are a godsend

@tlainthehouse 2 года назад

After listening to the same Automators podcast you referenced, I created a packing list shortcut that was a little different. Mine asks for the from and to dates of my trip, where I’m going, and the categories of things I need to take. It then creates a single task the day before I’m traveling called “Pack for x” (where x is where I’m going). It has a deadline of the day I travel. That task has a checklist with all the things I need to pack. It also adds another “Pack for return home” task that is set the day before I return home (with a deadline of the next day). It has the same checklist as the first one and helps me know I packed everything up again for the return trip.

Hi Christopher, Thank you for a really informative video. I wanted to check with you on your shortcut "Build Photo Album". Does this one work on iOS 15 on iPhone? I have tried it but the date selection of two dates does not seem to work on iPhone. Let's say, if I want to choose two dates (30/10/2021 and 1/11/2021). By selecting the first date as 30/10/2021, it won't allow me to go to the November month. Any idea or suggestion?

@michalstraka8246 2 года назад

Hi, I have a problem with the combination of iPad + Magic Keyboard & Shortcuts & Spotlight (search). When I search for a shortcut like you do (e.g. "Add a note") and the shortcut prompts me to enter text, I am unable to type into the shortcut prompt via the hardware keyboard because the focus on the text persists in the search bar below it. So I have to use software keyboard to write into dialog. Do you have the same problem?

Hello - can you make a video on how to create a shortcut to shut off the iPhone or using a voice command to instruct Siri to shut off the iPhone? IF it is possible to have the shortcut or the voice command to reboot the iPhone would be even better because people with arthritis like myself have very difficult time to reboot the phone every few days in order to clear out the memory cache. Thank you very much in advance.

I don’t know why but whenever I want to set up a short cut that’ve you’ve done, the options that you choose never show up for me. EG I tried “Drop the Needle” but while setting it up the “Choose Audio” option doesn’t appear and it gives me an error when I click done. This is annoying.

Hi I have setup a workflow but I need to click on it to trigger it. Although I have set it up like when my phone connects to home wifi send a message. But when I connect to wifi the shortcut alert comes but it doesn't do anything. I re-installed the app but the shortcut didn't work. Does the shortcuts need manual intervention or do they work automatically like Automator on Mac.
