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
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 😁
@@murtadha96 that is a very nice and helpful shortcut you have!
See file size in share sheet
I really really really want to use the timer shortcuts (break timer or just timer in work stuff) but I just can't figure out how to use them and have not found a video for those specific timers. Would LOVE to see one posted for that.
Thanks for your awesome, useful, helpful vids!
The shortcuts would be even more powerful if they allow it to be on control center.
you can pin them to menu bar
@@Aman-dm6zi Does that mean drag and drop to the menu bar? I am not sure how to pin-sorry.
@@sbeckas yes there is a settings for pinning shortcuts to menu bar. that setting can be found in the shortcuts app
@@Aman-dm6zi thanks for your help🙂
@@Aman-dm6zi for me, I can only find it under my Mac shortcuts setting, so I’m probably not going to use it
Please keep churning out the Shortcuts videos. You started my obsession with it. Lol. Been following your channel from the beginning, and of course got an iPad Pro as a result. Absolutely love it.
Functional and clean, as it ought to be. Outstanding! A real inspiration to get device behavior together.
I love the shortcuts that help me find the nearest restroom, which I use.
this is by far the most useful "things you can do with your iPad" video
Christopher, thank you! This is an app I was not using until your video.
Am using a few of these since I just got with Things 3 today. Cheers 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. I like the Blood Glucose. I enjoyed learning about Shortcuts. Blessings on your day.
I absolutely love those shortcuts videos!
Brilliant! As usual I think I’ll be using the caffeine tracker and connecting it to a Notion database.
I love your color grading! 👌🏼
I love that you have the F1 calendar added to your calendar.
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
Brilliant video , thank you !
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.
This sounds amazing! would you be willing to share the shortcut?
People are waiting for you to share the shortcut you created.
@@MrAlmoOndo I am trying. My replies keep disappearing.
@Tim Atkins Any chance you can try it again? Maybe it works with a link shortener
Any chance you can share the shortcut?
great vid!! so informative
I’m so glad Apple bought the shortcuts app a few years ago
Seeing how much stuff you have in different places, I can only imagine all the things you would do with Obsidian.
I love the quick draft. Also, what wallpaper do you use ?
Amazing content!!!
All of these shortcuts are very advanced for me. I need to learn how to use these myself. Do you have a video that is shortcuts for beginners 🤷🏽♂
Holy shit dude, that was so insanely useful !!
Trying to get more out of my Apple Watch, really like the watch launcher 👍🏽
I run tons of shortcuts from watch too.
Thanks a lot for this great Video. I`m new to shortcuts: can I use todoist for the new task shortcut? And if so, how?
Great video. Unfortunately I can't get the "Choose Audio..." option to appear in the Drop The Needle Shortcut.
Great video, thanks for posting! Quick question for the new task shortcut. I use Todoist instead of Things. I'm trying to change it to Todoist but not sure how to add the "provided input". Any help with this? Thanks!
You make using the full screen keyboard look easy.
Hi Chris, some good tips here thx 🙏🏻 Why do you use Things 3 when you have Fantastical? Cheers 🙂
You’ve probably done similar but not sure if you actually done a full in depth video on how your organize your shortcuts (groups/folders, color schemes, and types of shortcuts in each group/folder)
Christopher, another great video! I'm wondering: What font do you use in Drafts, and which theme? Thanks so much.
JetBrains Mono
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?
it is very valuable tutorial
Hi, wow this is a great, it is my first video in your channel, and become a subscriber 😊, i hope you do a video about how to build shortcut for calender, and linked to a digital planner, so when i click a day in my digital planner on goodnote app the shortcut open the clander to that specific day.
Hello, i have a request for a shortcut. I want an event in my calendar to trigger a focus mode and when the event ends it switches off again.
I really love these!!!
Hey ! Could you please make a video on Shortcuts for Apple Watch ? Ive tried some habit trackers ( only few available in India ) and they are sub optimal. I wan to make my own through Shortcuts, could you help me figure that out. I use reminders on the bigger devices so never got the need to set up shortcuts on them. Hence noob, here to learn more.
I'm looking for a shortcut that turns off true tone on my Mac book when I launch Affinity Photo or Final Cut.. I think this would be useful if no one has built it yet.
Hi @ChrisLawley - I use the New Task shortcut quite often and really appreciate it! Is there a way to create this same type of shortcut to choose which area multiple tasks go into? For instance, right now it’s just in the Inbox, but I have areas called Home, Work, and a few others. How would I set up which area multiple tasks go into?
Awesome shortcut ideas that aren’t super intimidating!
Hey @Christopher!!! Is possible create shortcut that read Emails, Calendar and Reminders?
Hey chris. Just curious How many logged items are there in your things app? 😜
Hi Great Vid! Do you have or know of a shortcut that will download attached files from gmail and save them to a specific folder on my MAC?
May you use RUclips chapters please
Type in description
0:00 ( first chapter must start with zero)
0:10 seconds at least for each chapter
3 chapters at least
I like how you mentioned your sponsor but didn’t say anything about it that’s a like for me
Is there any way to make a "duplicate folder" shortcut?
Like : ask for name - duplicate folder x and give it a name
Or even just move files from a folder (like downloads) into other folder.
Yea Shortcuts for control center DEFINITELY need to be a thing especially for iPhones, which it will. 😊
Hey its possible to make automation on iPhone 13 Pro Max to control limit frame rate? For example when turn on home wifi to turn off limit frame rate? To save battery after latest update
How did you get those cool thumbnails?!
I’m wondering how you got to replace the Dates with a input variable when using a photo filter. I have downloaded the shortcut but keep having issues with this portion. The dates work in a weird way. I was trying to rebuild for a different use but when I pull up the filter between dates it won’t let me delete the date to put in variable
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.
Cool
Any suggestions for a shortcut for adding text (such as copyright info) to multiple photos at the same time?
Could you please please please show us how to create a shortcut that will automatically change the Fn keys when using Excel? Thank you!!!!
I have been searching for a shortcut (preferably an automation) to change the timezone of my iPad at 6pm every evening to another timezone as I work remotely on the other side of the world. I haven’t been able to figure this out myself yet but would love to.
Is there a reason you can’t use a widget with clocks for all the time zone you need?
Don’t know if it’s still relevant to the original commenter but if anyone here still wondering about this then I think they can create a timezone conversion shortcut and then create an automation that enables the shortcut at the specific time they want.
Is it possible to select which list the new task will go to within Things?
It should be possible to create a sleep/mood/habit tracker using shortcuts, right? Like placing data into numbers, right?
Hi 👋🏽 Could I get a “share location vía Google Maps”, and not via Apple maps? Thank you
I am having an issue where when I trigger the New Task Shortcut from Spotlight and then go to type the task it keeps typing in the spotlight search and not the input field. Is there away around that Thanks!
Can I automate switching on silence unknown callers using shortcuts?
Do automations created using the shortcut app drain the battery in the background? For example, if I created a shortcut that triggers without asking for telling me that the iPhone is charged to 80%, is it going to drain the battery in the background?
I’m interested in a short cut that will automatically open Teams on my iPad at a specific time of day, is that possible?
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?
Is there a way to have an automation that saves my clipboards, either over iOS or OSX, and stores into a note in an Apple Notes Group? I bought the app ‘copied’ a few years ago. It did a great job until they closed it down.
hi, the "build photo album", the function/string "in between" for dates is buggy? for example, i chose wed date, and sat date for end, but when i chose wed, dates behind wednesday are all blacked out.
Is there a way to be able to delete certain contacts from the phone app call list?
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.
Can you run the shortcut Bag Checklist in another app besides Things 3?
I’m trying to figure out how to run in Reminders.
I am trying to create a shortcut to open a specific folder but there isn’t an option, some limited links from i don’t know where??
I need your keyboard, how did u get it?
NO WAY THE photo albums part !@!!!
Does things have natural language input for the shortcut?
I want to make an iphone shortcut. To search words in photos. Just like the spotlight search. I want that i place that shortcuts shortcut on my screen among other icons. And when i click on it it asks for a word. Then i supply it a “text”. And then it shows all the images that has “that text” in it as results. Is it possible???
What if my search doesn't provide any photos then how can I return no photos found instead of proceeding to create album?
I finally made my first shortcut the other day! All it does is immediately turn wifi back on when I activate airplane mode, haha.
I guess technically this is an automation, now that I'm thinking about it.
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.
How did you put numbers in your keyboard?.
What’s keyboard you use it?
Isn’t like my keyboard!!
I didn't understand shit but thanks for the video anyway.
Shortcuts are the most difficult thing to understand for me. I will just do it myself
I’ll be honest. This video makes an already confusing app even more so. Too frenetic.
How do I make a shortcut on macbook that makes it speak when my battery level hits 30%?
May you use RUclips chapters please
So we can share each chapter
Please
how hide app with shortcut didn't open except disable shortcut ?
Is there a way to automate clock in, clock out using shortcuts? So far I've only been able to run the app at specified time.
A NFC tag with Shortcuts could work.
the links don't work for me
It’d be great if you can create these shortcuts on a MAC. Not sure why Hue & Apple on the MAC aren’t compatible in 2022..?!?
Absurd.
god loves you
I want to put three reminders with the same name, with increasing gap of days. For example “Eat apple” for the day following that day then 2 days later then 5 data later that 2nd day. How to do ????? 🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨
so it took you 10 days to edit this?
How to automatically switch on or off your iPhone. This automation is not on Apple.
I don't even understand where you start...
never seen that screen on my iPad...
Automator has been in the Mac OS for 10 or more years. I am running Big Sur on a 2013 Mac Book Air - it has Automator. And I have been using Automator on this laptop since I bought it. You dont have to install Monterey to have automation tools.
I would love to learn "beginning" Automator from a YT creator-any suggestions?
I have no idea how to use this app 😭😭 I honestly still feel confused
I can't find Automations on Monterey. Shortcuts are alone, unlike iOS. Automator on Mac is limited compared to iOS.
1:38 I mean you couldve mentioned that this thing costs 50€ extra...
I would love to have shortcut that deletes my browsing history with one finger tap - anyone help me?
in Safari of course😉
*Every day
This is the anti-Apple, we just need a decent "app store" full of pre-fabricated, complex but very easy to use and useful! Not this kind of creating buttons to do really simple things.
how you have the number line on top of your keyboard????😃
You need to have the bigger 12.9 inch iPad for that
needs chapters dude smh
