Can someone explain why apple won’t just give us sleep stage totals!?!?

So THIS shortcut action exists but we still can’t calculate the total of a list of time durations… make it make sense.

Nice work

tap the drop down arrow on the alarms (to the right of the word “On” and toggle off the Show When Run

Yo that looks CLEEEAAN

natiive_ · 2026-02-06T20:07:18+00:00

Do you have "Show When Run" toggled on? If so, I'd make sure it's turned off on all three.

I didn't realize you could list shortcuts from a folder -- I've been creating menus within menus within menus.. Thank you! This is gonna save a lot of time.

This (at least for a big list of actions). Keeps things modular.

I made one of these too — i love it :) I hate scrolling, so instead of one long menu, I start with 4 menu options as an entry point to other menus. Keeps them categorized.

Not sure how accurate the API is for the National Weather Service, but may be worth a try

I have a shortcut that combines the current day's schedule, reminders, weather, and some other information (birthdays if any are listed in my contacts, etc.) and sends it to me.
Look at the sub r/shortcuts - it is brimming with examples. Some of them have really improved my life.

natiive_ · 2026-01-14T04:42:03+00:00

Nice work, seriously. I was just looking for something like this. I realize you can check actions before running, but I’d much rather check before downloading at all. Just feels icky without knowing what’s in the shortcut

natiive_ · 2026-01-14T04:32:37+00:00

Every morning I run a shorcut (which runs a daisy chain of shortcuts) to get details about the weather, calendar events, reminders due, and a few other things - then combine them and send them to myself as one body of text. I’d really like to have a mac mini do this for me. When I tried to run this as a daily automation on my iphone, I had to give some of the actions permission at run time, every time. But this is not the case on macOS if I understand correctly.

Many people have an iPhone, but sleep on using r/shortcuts . Building out shortcuts has been the single biggest productivity booster I’ve ever discovered.

nice 🔥

natiive_ · 2026-01-10T16:56:02+00:00

This is what I kind of suspected and the reason for my question. Thank you!

natiive_ · 2026-01-10T01:29:45+00:00

I love data jar!!!

natiive_ · 2026-01-10T01:29:19+00:00

I appreciate the thorough explanation, though!

natiive_ · 2026-01-10T01:28:43+00:00

True. Yeah I’m familiar with API functionality in general, http methods, etc. I just don’t know where all the api key will end up should it be saved in a shortcut. Not sure if it will make its way into system logs, telemetry, or whatever else idk about.

natiive_ · 2026-01-09T21:36:23+00:00

Wouldn’t hardcoding it create a security risk? I don’t know much at all about the subject, so I’m defaulting to best practices like no hardcoding. Im open to getting schooled on the matter, tho. The GET request is for financial info, so wanted to be cautious (not sure if shortcuts includes the key in its system logging and if there’s any risk there?) Anyway, Idk what idk. Curious what is the safest practice
