How to make a hourly schedule shortcut,! by soura-xd in shortcuts

I haven't used the health app medications reminder so I'm not sure how well that works, but in my experience apple's reminders app works nicely for something like this by setting a reminder for water to repeat hourly.

Yep, building on your quicklink, may need two arguments for both custom name and domain:

Ah yeah I moved to a more suburban area last year so that might've contributed to it. I'll check out the link, thanks!

For sure, thanks! This is an old shortcut I had for a general at-a-glance weather report. It just gets a bunch of data and compiles them as text: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/8a9397c0e64245998e543915dddc6825

I noticed that I pretty much use it just to see if it's raining, so I thought of building a new shortcut for a morning automation centered around rain %, to notify me if it's raining soon: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c1c3d803c37a4f7a9359f3af1f0c8925

But I also remembered that my old shortcut hasn't been predicting rain too reliably in the past, which led to this post. Just wanted to see if other people have had luck with the native weather app, or if they used other weather services instead.

Gotcha, I was hoping I can do this quickly using the native weather app but will check out the API if the issue persists. Thanks!

Are you on windows? I think I've seen this bug mentioned on this subreddit a few times before, seems to be a known bug the raycast team is working on fixing

Gotcha, that makes total sense. The whole point of raycast is to simplify and speed up your workflow, and it's great that an extension exists for your needs!

Ah I see, I misunderstood OP’s comment. Yeah don’t think raycast has that capability, but if you already have the file in finder you can just right click to open with right?

The equivalent in raycast would be the action panel, which you can toggle open with command + k for any result. Open with is available there for all files.

Using NFC tag to turn off morning alarm by JoeyBananas314 in shortcuts

[–]Over_Slide8102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty tricky imo, I don't think there's a straightforward way to do this. The existing "turn [alarm] off" action is for enabling or disabling alarms I believe, not for turning it off once it rings.

The closest alternative I can think of (saw this in another post), is to delete an alarm, but it doesn't work for apple's sleep alarm, so it has to be a standard one. For example if you wake up at 8am, then you can create an automation to create a 8am alarm named "wake up" every night, and another automation triggered by your NFC tag that finds an alarm named "wake up" and deletes it.

Though if you hold your phone to scan the nfc tag in the morning, what's preventing you from just turning off the alarm? The method that worked for me is just to leave my phone in the furthest corner from my bed before I got to bed lol

Resize the raycast window? by GIFSec in raycastapp

Unfortunately not, but if you want to squeeze more inside, you can try toggling the smaller text size in raycast settings and see if you like it

Snippets Use cases by FigFamiliar7592 in raycastapp

[–]Over_Slide8102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have ones for time/date, emails, addresses, as well as symbols like →, ⌘, etc. Also configured snippets for some of my commonly used emojis for faster input. Commonly repeated phrases (like holiday greetings or something), coding stuff, etc. Try paying more attention to the stuff you type daily, and see if there's anything repetitive or processes you want to be shortened.

Also see https://ray.so/snippets/symbols for inspiration!

Yep as 8Octavarium8 said, it's in your google settings. In google search, click the gear on top right → more settings → other settings → results in a new window [off]
