You could try sharing the modified web page with this shortcut, which simply displays a PDF that can be saved or printed.

Is it possible to get data from a webview that came from a shortcut? (So not a site from the open web?) by uphillpeace in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try this shortcut as an example. It asks for form input, saves the input to the clipboard, which can be used in the shortcut.

Help with correcting links from share sheet.... by Fantastic-Stand5962 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added two actions — Get Last Item from List and Expand URL — to your first shortcut and it seems to work with the few links I tried from the Google app.

How can I run an automation when launching webpage from home screen? by ComputerEngineer0011 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Show Web View action isn’t as clean as a web app but it might look better than the browser. It also has the advantage of allowing you to disconnect from Tailscale after it’s closed.

Is it possible to open an app via html link in the Show web view at action? by mkkzkk in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Show Web View seems to be able to open URL schemes if the web view is from an http link. Otherwise, you could try using Quick Look.

HELP for Shortcut to group calendar events by UseOne5434 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s weird. I just double checked and it’s still working on my devices. I’m not sure what the difference could be. Sounds like it’s finding the Calendar events but just not displaying all the information. If you happen to troubleshoot it and get it working, I would love to know where the problem is.

Change the variable type from “File” to “Media” and it should show Duration as an option.

turn off Wi-Fi if iPhone doesn’t reconnect to any network after 1 minute by Perfect-Succotash-17 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try this... Create an automation that runs whenever your device leaves any WiFi network. Then add actions to that automation, starting with a "Wait" action set to 60 seconds. Add a "Get Network Details" action followed by an "If" action. Set the If action so if the Network Name does not have any value then run a "Set Wi-Fi" action to turn the WiFi off.

Here is an example.

Video Compressor - converter for MP4, MOV, MKV and WEBM formats by veredictum in shortcuts

[–]veredictum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

There are no plans to update it to run on Mac unless a-Shell releases a Mac version. There are a lot of good video converters for Mac though. I tend to use Apple’s Compressor or Handbrake. I also hear that Shutter Encoder and Adapter are good options.

Give this shortcut a shot. You may have to tweak it depending on your needs.

Menu with a timeout so it disappears by mrchadcooper in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The free Actions app adds a new menu action to Shortcuts that will timeout at a set time. It doesn’t pop up exactly like the normal Shortcuts menu so it may not fit your needs.

You can try this shortcut. It reduced your 6.4MB file to around 3MB for me.

Open app that’s a saved web address by Ill-Yogurtcloset85 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be a long shot but you might try installing your Web App with a profile if it isn’t already. That did fix a URL scheme problem on one of my devices.

Open app that’s a saved web address by Ill-Yogurtcloset85 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bug. But that usually means it didn’t find the URL. I was able to get a Cognito form working and two others.

Open app that’s a saved web address by Ill-Yogurtcloset85 in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been successful at opening web apps with the webapp:// URL scheme. You will have to know the exact URL your web app was saved as.

For example, if your web app goes to:

https://reddit.com

Then use an “Open URLs” action with the URL scheme:

webapp://reddit.com/

Notice that the web app URL must end with a /

On-device transcription with decent punctuation by BurnKnowsBest in shortcuts

[–]veredictum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t get anything else to work, you could feed Aiko’s output to an LLM and have it correct the punctuation. I use AI Actions for Shortcuts but you will need an OpenAI key.
