Hello Stephen, I just wanted to say that I appreciate this series. While I may not be interested personally in every single shortcut; I find value in whatever is presented. Further, saying something presented may jog an interest in me, looking at creating my own shortcuts in a novel way. I for one appreciate the work that you put in.
Stephen, First off HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉, and congratulations on everything you have accomplished this year. I love your videos! Thank you for always being so upbeat, easy to follow and useful. Overall you add joy to my day. I am a fellow shortcuts 🤓. I am joining your shortcuts community today! Just wanted to say thank you. The video you did about a month ago, when sharing about your journey and hitting your milestones, really touched me, I was driving and couldn’t comment at the time, but it was both touching and inspiring. I am taking my TH-cam channel more seriously in 2025 and some of the tips I have learned from your channel will help. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for another awesome video. I appreciate the work you put into your videos I have learned so much and look forward up coming videos. Happy New Year!🎉
Great shortcuts!! With the Pilot Logbook, if you were to update it to use with a vehicle, would you be able to automatically calculate the KMs between the locations and record it? Also, with the super mute one, can you make it work with an iPhone 14?
I would like to be able to lock a specific file / folder on my iPhone or Mac. From what I can tell there is not a native way to do this. Is it possible to do this with a shortcut and if so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Stephen, your videos are amazingly helpful. I wanted to know if you could create a shortcut that I’ve been trying to figure out for a while. I travel often. When I’m in my home state, I want to get directions to my home address. If I’m in another state that I will specify, I want to get directions to my second home address. If I am in ANY other state, I want the shortcut to pull directions to my hotel from my calendar and get directions to my hotel. So far, I’ve struggled getting the if statements to function as expected, as Apple doesn’t have a robust “or” statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Stephen, i´m Eric the designer of that case you're reviewing at the end. I am so happy you like it. It would be great if you could post a link to my model. Thank you :)
Hey Stephen. I love your videos. I wonder if you could help me. I would really like to use the action button on my Watch to be able to trigger audio on my iPhone, wait for five minutes and then pause the audio. I have a shortcut that works when I trigger it from my iPhone but when I run it from the action button on my Apple Watch it plays the audio but doesn’t pause it after five minutes. Any suggestions?
Super awesome. Shortcut is the best application i use it all the time. Even for trading I did very deep complexed all on shortcut. I loved the voice generation and the movies For the clipboard manager i had designed the same concept shortcut 😂
Hi Stephen, great video, again. Do you happen to, if I can adjust the language in the "Record, Transcribe, Summarize Brainstorm GPT" shortcut to other languages? (dots on, dominant hand, no Apple Intelligence due to EU)
Hi, love the movie one. How do I make it so it works for Canada? I was able to change it to CA and deleted streaming services we don’t have, but can’t get it to put the links in (Netflix, crave, prime, Apple TV, paramount, Disney) thanks.
Please let me know- is there a shortcut that you have made where I can select a photo from my photos ( for example a picture of a paper writing on it) and have the words get automatically put into a note - I know you have made an note from photo shortcut but the only problem is you have to take a photo for it to put it down in notes is there anyway to do this same concept but instead of taking a photo I can pick any photo I want from my gallery?
For the movie reminders- the links work and the shortcut runs great but for the paramount and Amazon prime links it only takes me to the main home page- it doesn’t take me to the actual movie- the only links that will take me to the actual movie is movies that are stream on max also for the tv shows on max it wont take me to the shows it takes to safari and takes me to the register/log in page is there anyway to fix this?
Super Mute is great! Have you tried a shortcut/automation for when iPhone goes into silent mode e.g. via Action Button, and Watch also goes into silent as well?
Thanks, I meant if the Action button is pressed to toggle silent mode, then Watch automatically toggles silent too, rather than manually running the shortcut?
Great video as always. I love the transcription and summary shortcut. I’d love to see you do a more detailed video on using DataJar with nested dictionaries. I have shorctuts that get data from nested data but have problems getting a shortcut to work that gets data then uses the returned data to then return further information. It will run but forces the user to make the selection multiple times unnecessarily even with no Choose From actions 🤔
@@beardfm you inspired me to dig deeper and I got my shortcut working and yes I took your advice. I also found out how to use my new favourite action “Match” with its accompanying patterns. Followed by “Group”
Hi! Really loving this shortcuts series! I'm having an error with the Running Late shortcut, it always says "Get Travel Time needs a destination location, but none was specified." Any ideas?
Hey Stephen, I have a BIG FAVOR: I travel a lot in Asia, and unfortunately, not everyone speaks English. It would be amazing to have a shortcut that asks for two languages and then opens a ChatGPT conversation that translates a conversation between two people in real-time, without commenting or interfering-just a dynamic and intelligent translator. Thanks in advance!
@ Well, I was just curious if Chat GPT could do something like that. I haven’t seen anyone do it. I know the better GPT is behind a paywall, but either way would be cool.
Hola!!! Tus videos son geniales Quisiera pedir tu ayuda! Quisiera poder hacer una automatización donde cada vez que pago con Apple Pay la cantidad que gasté me la ponga en un archivo de number en una celda que se pueda seleccionar y que sume la cantidad de la celda co la nueva “con el nuevo pago” en el caso de que y exista una cantidad
Make sure to hit always allow on all the pop ups. Otherwise maybe try to delete and reinstall it. I just tested the one linked in the description and was able to get it to work.
Stephen- HELP! So I have an automation to open things 3 and also one to open Outlook- both trigger daily at different times. The problem is they won't open unless the phone is unlocked. How do I make them run if the screen is locked? Next- how do I get outlook to open my calendar, not outlook email? Thanks !
If the app doesn’t have a shortcut available for what you want to do, it won’t do anything unless the phone is unlocked, this is a security feature of shortcuts to avoid non notarized content to run without you monitoring. As for opening the calendar on outlook you can have a look online if the app supports a url scheme, you could call the app url for the calendar instead of the open app action.
I also want an automation ran that when fitness is enabled it sends a text message ( of my choice of text ) whoever sends a message it automatically replies with text
@@Don_060 Setup the trigger for any message containing a space: “ “ Create a shortcut that sends a message if focus name is fitness and create a text block with the message. Use the send message action that sends the text defined on the previous action for the shortcut input. On the automation use the run shortcut action and pass to it the input from the trigger. Stephen has showed a quite similar workflow on a previous video or even on this one to send a message when you are on vacation, but instead of checking the date, check the active focus.
6:34 there’s unfortunately no way to run a shortcut every hour. It will only run once day at the specific time. You’d have to set up multiple automations to achieve this
The movie/tv shows reminder brokie, maybe you were too fast, I have made some tweaks, not sharing the link to avoid falling on the filter, but I can share my link to the revised version if you’d like.
@ Cool! That version works! I’ll keep using my revision, I did the same fixes and changed the request to use the api key as a variable, as well as changed the reminder to be set on Todoist, my currently preferred option for reminders. Thanks for being so available man! You’re goated.
@ I can send you an email with the link for my version of the shortcut, besides the API key I have generalized the locale for the request for the streaming links on just watch for international users like me.

Hi Stephen. Great video as always. Are there any Spotify shortcuts which you can create/share?
Thank you! I wish I could but Spotify doesn’t offer any Shortcuts actions.
Great stuff! I wonder if there will be another version of the shortcut that does series and anime.
You got it: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/aa574dc5d87d4278a2eb69cdd4026684
🤯 I’m surprised. Thanks for this. I will change the API key so yours doesn’t get backed with many entries.
Hey Stephen , in the No. 2 shortcut , how to get the "add" and "get value for" actions ? it's not available in the Actions list
Thanks so much for all of the great Shortcuts! I love the idea of Brainstorm, but keeps failing for me. Not sure why

However how can I clear the history of clipboard ?
you can modify that from data jar directly
You can go into the data jar app and delete all the entries if you'd like!

Where are the shorcuta for normal office workers ?
What kind of automations are you looking for?
i was wondering if it’s possible to make one so that when i get a notification from a specific app it turn on an alarm.
I wish! But there are no automation triggers for specific app notifications.
I was so hyped by your number one I installed it the annoying part with the API thing you did not mention and explained got me, I deleted it.
