20dMy iOS Shortcuts
🚀 I use iOS Shortcuts App daily.
🧠 Here are my use cases :
🔄️ Automation / Focus mode :
- Focus mode (Home, Evening, Work, Outdoor, Morning & Sleep)
- Start my robot vacuum
🤙 General :
- Call my favorite contacts
- Send iMessages at my favorite contacts
- Send iMessage when I arrive at work
- Play favorites playlist on Apple music
- Open Translate App
🔧 Utilities :
- Apps update (redirecting in updates page App Store)
- Unchecked reminders automatically
- Summary an article with Chat-GPT (thx @gobino !)
📲 The last picture shows my automatings in Shortcuts App (2nd tab).
➡️ Some shortcuts are available on my ShareShortcuts profile : https://shareshortcuts.com/u/flob/

I liked the ai summary shortcut. I’ve added some updates if anyone else would find it useful https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/39b1d7b2e70f46c993655985a1594dd0
I made it so you can share from any app that provides a url, not just from safari, and updated the prompt and results display format it.

I have struggled to start to use shortcuts, I just can’t see how it will make anything go faster unless it’s a few things I want to happen at the same time. Am I missing something ?
FlorianB
What exactly do you want to do?

So far the only use I seem to make work for me is to have two apps open at the same time on the iPad and MacBook. But on the iPhone I just don’t know how it will make anything into a faster work flow.
I also try to stick to the native apps, so I kinda just find it easy to click on the app I want and work on that.
But I’m always looking for some new ways to make the native apps better 😅

Shortcuts are used in particular to me to perform a set of actions to save time. I also use it to switch from one focus mode to another depending on a particular situation (sending a message for example) 😉
But there are many other possibilities that you have not yet imagined 😅

Doesn’t work for me I think no it doesn’t default to chatGPT-4? I am a paid user.
FlorianB
Try changing the shortcut by setting GPT-4 instead of GPT-3.5 (Step 5)

FlorianB can you share your iPod focus modes, too?
FlorianB
iPod ? 😅
All my focus modes are in my Artifact posts 😉
Mirco Kämpfer
Sorry. Autocorrect 🙄 I meant iPad. Do you have specific screens for it?
FlorianB
Yes ! I plan to make a post on this subject 👀
