Hey man ! One shortcut I would like to see : automaticly suggest to rotate the screen whenener you manually rotate it (just like in the Google pixel phones)
Thanks Stephen, you really helped me out. Ive set the automation to run every start of class and it works perfect! So great that you took the time to help me out. Thanks again!
@@beardfm I have a similar shortcut to notes from photo to classify receipts. after the photo is taken it shows a list of options to choose from like for example Groceries or Insurance. That choice is included in the note for future reference. It allows me to later do a search for all receipts of a given category. The photo of the receipt is also included in the Note.
Just subscribed you post stuff that right now is advanced for me but I am starting to learn and the easy ones I’m downloading and learning more and more I really appreciate your videos they are helping me tons
First off love your content, just started with shortcuts and been binge watching your channel. I have a request if you're able: Drop off kids to school: - Check calendar to see if there's school or not (if no school, disable alarm) - Get driving time from home to school - Know I need to arrive by 8am - Tell me what time I need to leave by (add 5 extra minutes to get kids into the car) - Update an alarm to remind me when it's actually time to leave (or some sort of audio reminder when it's time to actually leave) Example: There is school on my calendar, it takes 20 minutes from home to school, so alarm is updated to 7:35am to leave Then I'll set this as an automation to run every morning at 7am
Love these! I had a request: I'd like to set a focus mode and only when I'm in that focus mode, I'd like to make sure that a few selected apps kick me out to the home-screen. I tried to do this by myself but I couldn't figure out how to keep the app redirection to home-screen specifically ONLY on the focus mode, it would just toggle back to home-screen all the time even without the focus mode when I tried to do it.
Another request: I want to start a live activity with the score every time my favorite sports teams’ games start. I use the sports alert app for live activities but I’d also like native live activities for NBA and MLB if possible. Thanks!
Just found this channel and wow this guy is awesome. I went through this whole series to see if it’s already been requested 😅 I would love a shortcut that functions like a “continue watching” to keep me from doom scrolling too long. I was thinking that there would be 3 options “keep watching/reading” where it would wait 10 mins then repeat prompt “Long Video” for when I want to wait 20 or 25 mins before being prompted again “I need to stop” where it closes the app and locks my phone
Hey Stephen. Maybe you've already done that shortcut. I need a shortcut that automatically launch "workout" app, e.g. Indoor cycling, on my apple watch when I am at a given location (say sport club adresse) at given days and time. Let it run for 60 minutes and shut it down again. All automatic, no manual intervention. Alternatively, the shortcut could be build based on whenever an app is launched, e.g. intelligent cycling, on my ipad, then the "workout" app on my apple watch is launched with indoor cycling, and stops automatically after 60 minutes or when the intelligent cycling app on my ipad is shut down, which ever occurs first.
use the scan documents block for that. it will save them as a pdf and you can scan multiple pages at once to go in the same pdf if needed. Saving is automatic. Add the file and open file blocks first so you can choose the folder. Otherwise everything goes in the Scanned Documents folder.
For the work photos I would have just made a shortcut named Work Camera with the camera block and a specified folder to save to. That would allow you to take work related photos no matter where you are. Handy if you travel for work.
Great video - as always! Is there a way to create a shortcut to disable face id, where it forces you to use a pass code? Say in the event you are getting robbed, so someone can't take your phone and put it to your face to unlock? Instead of hitting the side button 5 times to disable face id, you could simply have the shortcut on your home screen and use it instead? Thanks for all the great shortcuts! 😊
Thanks! And there is a Lock Screen action, but that still lets you unlock with Face ID. You could go all the way to Shut Down, which is another available action and you can put on the Home Screen!
Hi!!! Thanks for the video! I tried to create different icons on my screen. The idea was to relate each icon with and AirTag. If I press an icon, the corresponding AirTag was going to sound… I couldn’t. I went to an AppStore to ask, and nobody knew. Another shortcut was to send a TH-cam video to a Notion db. The title should be the video title, and add as properties; the author, the url, duration and a little description automatic. I couldn’t. The last one is easy: how to turn off the music app every time you get connected to CarPlay? Thank you!
hi. i need an hourly alarm (just like the apple watch chime) on my iPhone for the next 12 to 24 hours. the twist is i don't need it every day. sometimes i need it every 2 days or every 3 days. so the best way is to turn it on or off at will. either a shortcut or a focus. thank you.
I have a Dashcam App but I want to connect to the dashcam. So I open a app and select DDPAI on the list then I want the option "Connect the device to view "
Can you please make a shortcut, If i unlock tesla then turn on phone key. I already have shortcuts for unlock tesla and turn on phone key but i would like to combine them together to do both with 1 click or 1 request to siri. Thank You ♥
Can you show a shortcut to add anything on my screen directly to reminders? (Eg if I am on a specific page or watching a video then and press it then it goes directly to my reminder with the link)?
If possible plz do, 1. Whenever i go from my place(home) , 1km away, wifi off , data on , Spotify playlist automatically play and if its connected to my car Bluetooth (no carplay😒) . 2. I have iphone 14 and want a standby mode (clock) on while charging. I’ve searched some videos its like set notifications ON in gap of 17/18 sec while connected to charger. Is it possible plz do in next video waiting😊
The Alarm From Reminder needs an additional filter “is not completed”, otherwise it will find an old completed reminder and set an alarm for it. I found this out in testing.
Hey Rob, I really love how the single tap to wake is on the iPhone but I sometimes on focus modes I want it to be turned off. Cud u do a shortcut tutorial on that?
Another Banger! Thanks so much! Very useful. Would love some invoice and/or Numbers Shortcuts for logging client info (I.e. name, address, time, services, etc.). Always appreciate your videos! 🌟🙏🏿
I play Wordle, Moviedle, and few other similar daily guessing games. I share the results with a few people via text. Is there a way to automate the copying and pasting of the various scores/results into a note or text message so that I don't have to keep jumping back and forth between each webpage's result and note/message to compile that day's scores/results?
I really enjoyed the pilot log, and I had a similar idea for meeting minutes. It would prompt me to input details such as time, date, attendees, location, and agenda. After that, it would open notes for me to start writing meeting points.
Great video! I was desperately trying to make a shortcut menu to fetch all upcoming (and due) reminders and a) add x minutes or another time to their due date. All I managed to do was adding x minutes to the current date. Even with toolbox pro. I also managed to figure out the tricky part to put the due date to another day if the time has already has passed. Maybe you can find a solution to this problem 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve tried soo many times to make ONE shortcut when u click it if a vpn is on turn it off, if the vpn is off turn it on would be really helpful if u made one
Great stuff. But The making alarm by reminders shortcut just keeps making the alarm always for 12:00am and I can't figure out how to have it actually do it for the reminder time
@@beardfm thanks for reply. No that didn't solve it, but doing a bit more digging it seems to be a common bug/ problem with setting recurring alarms from reminders anyway, even without shortcuts, so who knows.
Question: Is it possible to make a shortcut to deactivate certain automations? I’ve a ton of automations and some of them are annoying when someone visits me. So if want to turn them all off at once.
Stephen I love these shortcuts keep them coming. Stephen I am trying to create a shortcut or automation. I have my kitchen lights everyday to come on at sunset to 35% brightness. But sometimes that light gets turned on before sunset at a higher brightness above 35%. What I need help with is if the light is on, let say 50% before sunset. I don't want the lights to adjust there brightness if some manually turned on. (Lutron are my light switches) Love your podcast Primary Technology
No need to create data jar lists if there’s no direct reference. Just name it within the shortcut designer and data jar will create a list as it runs. Only exception is if you need a list with a specific value which may be misinterpreted by data jar when the shortcut pushes the data over.
Hi Stephen. Greetings from chile 🇨🇱. I need your help to show me how can i configure the following on shortcuts: 1. Every day i use a Work focus mode whit Outlook mail, but when i do not use this focus mode, i need to block the notificaciones by Outlook mail and another apps. 2. How can i configure that and automation work only on certain days and in certain hours? Thank you for your help !!
I have a question. But fist I want to tell you that I like your videos. 😊 When I give an assignment and Siri asks whether I want to listen to music or not, I could previously say YES or NO. Siri then picked this up and I could answer a command with my voice. Nowadays, if my Siri asks whether or not I want to listen to music, and I say YES or NO, it stays in a loop and nothing happens. My assignment then goes no further. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to set something? Now I have to pick up my phone every time and click YES or NO.
Pilot Logbook: IFR = Instrument flight rules, VFR = Visual Flight Rules. VFR is flying on a clear day and not through clouds (along with other requirements). IFR requires additional training and ratings. Not all pilots are IFR rated.
Hey man I need help on a between specific times where midnight is within the range every day so that my automation only activated from between 7:30pm - 6:00am I’ve been trying to figure it out for several hours now and am turning to you to figure it out
I love the pilot logbook and am going to play around to tweak it a little. Thank you for the heavy work on it! Is there a way to get elevation or speed from the iPhone? I'd like to be able to record the total time as you have already done and air time (so when the plane leaves the ground or is moving faster than a certain speed), is this possible?
Hi is there any way for me to set my alarm in a way that if I turn it off it reads out text that I input,,like a reminder. For example, if I need to study by 5pm so my 5pm alarm, after ringing the tune says “go study”
Hi Stephen!!! I'm a fan of this series of yours about shortcuts. May I ask if you know any kind of way that I can do some kind of automated taps on a specific app? I have a third party app that I wanted to interact with but I just couldn't find a way to do that. I have even played around with switch control but using switch control requires me to do an action before the automated taps can work.
Hey, thanks! Taps on the screen is actually something accessibility features + Siri can do right now, but unfortunately it doesn’t integrate with Shortcuts
Hi men, thank you for the shortcut, do you know like a way to activate noice cancelation once you arrive at your home and wifi is connected and once is disconnected the AirPod will switch automatically?
@@beardfm for the OCR-to-note shortcut, how do you get the first command, “take photo with front camera” or whatever? I don’t see it as an option. Are you using specialized shortcut add-ons or something? Or did you assign one of the Backtap functions to take a photo?
@@beardfm disregard my question - the “take a photo” prompt is available to me now that I’m on iOS18 beta 2. It wasn’t available to me on iOS 18 beta. Cool!
Question: How can I have an automation or shortcut that turns off all my lights when I set my focus mode to Sleep? Or if I turn off all my lights and it is after some specific time (say 11pm) it sets my focus mode to sleep? I never found a way to get it to work :(
@beardfm I want to make a shortcut where i can log craft beers consumed into the Health app, but you can only log beers as “drinks” or as it seems, units of alcohol. Many craft beers are more than 1 drink or unit of alcohol (example: a craft beer may be 1.82 drinks). I have all of the data in terms of alcohol units based on ABV and serving size but what is the best way to create a shortcut where a user enters serving size, THEN ABV and the shortcut references a table or series of if>then statements to log the correct alcohol unit into the health app?
Since the Make Rich Text from Markdown action is currently broken, do you know of any other way of making a link with your own title using a shortcut that will then append it into an Apple Note? 🙏
@@beardfm I will like to put a short cut on my Home Screen of my work photo album so I can get fast access to it instead of having to go to the photos tab and navigate through the albums.
@@beardfm So far all the inputs is done on device and stored in data jar. And I’m pushing my data in ClickUp (tasks) and an app called Cjournal (CRM) to tag along any notes, events.. etc. I’m also pushing the same data to numbers to see if I could ultimately replace the Cjournal app. I’m ultimately trying to run the business as much as possible just from the iPhone 😅 - it’s an adventure !

How can I make a short cut of a specific photo album . I’m new to iPhone. On Android this is so simple 😮
Shortcuts - search View Album “enter name of album”. I just tried it. That’s definitely something that I thought would be built in to the photos app.
Are you wanting to take a picture and have it save to a specific album, or run it and open an album? Or something else?
@@beardfm I will like to put a short cut on my Home Screen of my work photo album so I can get fast access to it instead of having to go to the photos tab and navigate through the albums.
Im your subscriber now?❤️😁
How do I connect with you to help create a shortcut that is specific for EMS(ambulance)?
can I add a shortcut I created to control centre? If yes, how?
I’d love to see how you would build some type of CRM - (for marketing services) I have so far built myself a little system but it needs refinement 😊
Oh interesting! Are you integrating any spreadsheet service with shortcuts?
@@beardfm So far all the inputs is done on device and stored in data jar. And I’m pushing my data in ClickUp (tasks) and an app called Cjournal (CRM) to tag along any notes, events.. etc. I’m also pushing the same data to numbers to see if I could ultimately replace the Cjournal app.
I’m ultimately trying to run the business as much as possible just from the iPhone
😅 - it’s an adventure !
Why r u do smart!
Why is creating a shortcut like coding
It's basically light coding, but at least they're easy to download!
Thumbnails always on point sir!

We the British gave you miles, so don't mix us up with the rest of world again. How ignorant.
You know, I didn’t know that
The eyes are kind creepy
Was going for an X-Men theme 😅
So unnecessary lololol
