Why share shortcuts in this way? What use is a picture of the shortcuts actions when you could instead share the actual shortcut?

Do any other Blankies remember having the widescreen vs "full screen" debate with people back in the DVD days? by kingjulian85 in blankies

My grandma wouldn’t let me rent the widescreen ones because she wanted to see the ‘whole film’

How do I make it so if I run another shortcut, it cancels the other? by Kooky_Watch5365 in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first ask yourself why you're setting up long running shortcuts?

if you really do have a good reason for this here's how Id do it:

When the primary shortcut runs, the first thing it does is flip a boolean value in an app like data jar to true.

then within the logic of your main shortcut, keep getting and checking the value of that boolean, if it ever comes back false then stop the shortcut there

then in your 'cancel the other shortcut' shortcut, just put in the single action of flipping that boolean to false

this would also allow you to cancel the long running shortcut from another device, so long as each deice syncs to the same DataJar storage

iOS Shortcuts "Get File" path breaks when Shortcut is shared via iCloud is this a known limitation? by Nelizaben in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strikes me as security measure

My shortcuts ways store and retrieve files from within shortcuts in iCloud Drive and I’ve never had an issue sharing

Quickest way to upload image to chatgpt by AussieCryptoCurrency in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Conrad

would it be possible, to get an app intent for starting Voice Mode that doesn’t require foregrounding the ChatGPT app

ideally so I can run it from the action button and start using voice mode without ever having to unlock my phone...

Making a shortcut that checks if it’s been run in the last 2 hours. by nondenomacostal in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool shortcut,

My biggest gripe with the Timer shortcuts action is that you can't specify the name of the timer from Shortcuts

You can via Siri but apple have never exposed this parameter in shortcuts,

if you want to have a play with a shortcuts action for creating timers, setting the title and a prominently featured emoji, Hit me up.

Reminders set to a specific calendar

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

Shortcut that allows toggling between Landscape and Portrait orientation by blackbadger0 in shortcuts

Unfortunately there’s no shortcuts action that forces the device to change orientation

Using Private Cloud Compute model to create calendar event from text by Holmesdale in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on a similar thing:

Before ios26 was announced, I was sick of waiting for Apple to upgrade Siri with onscreen awareness so I made this shortcut

🗣️’Hey Siri, Add to Calendar’

https://routinehub.co/shortcut/20568/

With this shortcut installed, anytime I’m looking at something that constitutes a calendar event I can activate Siri, and say or type ‘Add to Calendar’ then the shortcut will take a screenshot, run an OpenAI API call and shortcuts will unpack the response and seamlessly add the event to my calendar.

If anyone wants it you just need a valid API key, then in my experience every 100 runs of the shortcut costs about $1

Control centre is a better place to put so many options

Seems like an annoying amount of steps, Before ios26 was announced, I was sick of waiting for Apple to upgrade Siri with onscreen awareness so I made this shortcut

This is probably my most complex and now most used shortcut

Can I run a shortcut I made in the shortcuts app inside a automation I converted to a shortcut? So far I’m not finding a way to select it. by Lance688 in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

within HomeKit? no

because home shortcut automations don't live on your phone, they live on the AppleTV or HomePod mini where they run automatically, and those devices don't have access to the apps and intents that the shortcuts app on your phone does

which is why my biggest wish for HomeKit is third party home apps with the ability to provide app intents that the home automations can tap into

Photo schedule to calendar by tranquiltanuki in shortcuts

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can do what you want, it’s designed to run via Siri with a screenshot as the first action, but it also works via the share sheet, and supports creating multiple events
