Hey Stephen, is it possible to create an iCloud link of a file in iCloud Drive? I’m trying to avoid sending a .zip file through email to my work windows machine.

#Shortcuts

@stephenrobles

The web is full of links designed to track and surveil the people who share and receive them.

I want to encourage people to be kind to their friends and followers by stripping tracking data from links they share. You can do this by only sharing only expanded versions of links and by removing tracking query parameters.

If you’re on iOS (or macOS), you can use this simple shortcut I created to do so.

Do I know anyone that's really experienced with Shortcuts / App Intents? I'm seeing a weird behavior on macOS (works fine on iOS) and I'm not sure if there's a way to fix it: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/791145.

TLDR: on macOS, if the user uses the 'Ask Every Time' variable for a list of items, the 'Done' button is disabled which forces you to select an option, on iOS it's always enabled which means no selection is allowed (and what I want on all platforms!)

Just released a nice little bugfix release for BarCuts, my contextual #macOS #Shortcuts launcher. I dig that app so much

I wish there would be a way to ensure that a document in iCloud Drive is synced before loading its content in #Shortcuts /cc @matthewcassinelli

I wrote a little about the new Spotlight.

Play Music Shortcut Not Working in macOS 26 Beta 1 (FB17985688)

I'm not sure if it's just me or not, though I don't think it is, but Apple messed up Shortcuts at least on the MacOS Tahoe Developer beta builds. Let me explain.

I have a shortcut that does several things, including starting Apple Music and then starts playing a specific playlist with shuffle enabled.

This worked up until the Tahoe update. Now, it starts Apple Music, but never starts playing and I can't find a way to specify that it play a specific playlist and to enable shuffle when it does.

I like making my own tools to do my work. Sometimes things that are small and pretty easy to put together can really be satisfying.

The Sky's the Limit

I’ve been sitting on this draft for a few days now, partly because I thought it would turn down the bitterness, and partly because I kept asking myself whether I should even write (...)

Apple #shortcuts ist das Ding, mit dem man schon in wenigen Stunden das, was man ohne es als Skript aus 20 Zeilen in 5 Minuten hingehackt hätte auch in grafischer Oberfläche bauen kann. Und nach 1 Woche nicht mehr versteht, wie es funktioniert.

Whim: “Gosh, it'd be handy to have crontab for running #Shortcuts on #iOS.”

Action: Do a quick web search

Result: Mind blown by a blog post from @joshdholtz.

Made this share sheet Shortcut that converts a shortened YouTube url (i.e., youtu.be) to a full url and removes the tracking at the end.

edit 2: Fixed a couple of problems with the text replacement. New version (version 2) here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7368b59ace2d4ae69bd34cd787eaef53
