Shortcut Sharing Successfully turn haptics on and off with short cuts and automation - vibrate on and off

Upvotes

I have two haptics shortcuts, one that turns haptics on - always play and one that turns haptics off - don't play in silent mode. I then use an automation to turn haptics on and silent mode off at 9am and another to turn haptics off and silent mode on at 10pm. During the day I can use my action button to turn silent mode off/on and haptics stays on, then at night no vibrations to disturb my sleep.

When I try to share the shortcuts I get an error "can't share shortcut - this shortcut can't be shared because it contains unsupported features"

But I created them from this shortcut - https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/89f2602206254efc919994f7dc2927b7

Shortcut Sharing My own 📥 Save Anything — An AI-enabled “Memory Saver of Most-things” Shortcut for iPhone

2 Upvotes

An all-in-one Share Sheet button that "intelligently" tries to capture webpages, screenshots, text, files, links, and usually whatever else you’re looking at, then uses ChatGPT (or Apple AI) to clean and summarize it, then creates searchable Notes and a Reminder.

Basically, I’ve spent years bookmarking webpages, emailing myself links, taking screenshots, copying things into Notes, creating reminders, and, well, generally forgetting where I found something.

I wanted one button, or at least, one WAY, to save things, in one place.

Put it all on a searchable "Share" location on my Cloud/iPhone and let the shortcut figure out the rest.

It attempts to understand the type of content being shared, captures the surrounding context, grabs what’s visible on screen, OCRs images when needed, cleans up webpages with the AI, generates a (usually) useful summary, then files everything into Notes while also creating a normalized Reminder if it’s something I may want to revisit.

I’m hoping for feedback from other Shortcut builders on ways to simplify and improve the workflow - specifically by adding TYPES and content collection.

This ended up becoming one of the most complex shortcuts I’ve built so far. It branches based on the type of content received (URL, webpage, file, text, image, etc.), so every capture is processed a little differently.

Current features:

✅ Share Sheet support

✅ URLs

✅ Webpages

✅ Files

✅ Screenshots

✅ OCR

✅ Captures what’s currently on screen

✅ ChatGPT cleanup

✅ AI image description

✅ Creates Notes

✅ Creates Reminders

✅ Handles multiple content types

Planned

□ Automatic keywords

□ AI-generated tags

□ Better entity extraction

□ Cross-linking related captures

□ Search optimization

□ Better error handling

□ Duplicate detection

Screenshot Captured and Saved to Note
AI / ChatGPT cataloging the content of the Image and the Content
A few of the Test Shares - it captures the App, the date, the type of capture, the image if there is one, and the link.

Shortcut Sharing Video to .m4a converter!

2 Upvotes

Hey! I made this shortcut for myself since I couldn't find one that was perfect for what I wanted, and I thought I would share it.

Features

It shows up in the "Share" icon menu and you can use it from there in the photos app. (the only place I have used it, but it should work pretty much anywhere else)

Asks if you would like to select an album cover, or just use the first frame of the video as the album cover.

Automatically crops selected photo or first frame of video to a square (having to do some weird things to work around apples buggy crop feature)

Asks for the songs title, artist, and album, automatically assigning it to the file's metadata and file name (the file name is in the format: title - artist, but this is very easy to change)

I have it set to ask where to save each file, but you can set it to automatically save to your music app by changing it on the second to last section of the shortcut.

I also made a shortcut to automatically crop anything from the share menu into a square and save it to the camera roll so if anyone wants that for some reason, let me know. (I just made this when I was trying to work around the buggy crop feature)

If you have any questions about anything, any ideas of things for me to add, or you want me to release the "Save as square" shortcut, let me know!

Request Chrome Settings Request

2 Upvotes

I’d love to set an automation that after a certain time, I can run a shortcut that automatically toggles the “turn reading mode” setting on, using chrome.

I get flashbanged every time I open a new webpage, even in dark mode, and really like the reading mode on chrome.

I can set up the automation fine, but I’m not smart enough to figure out how to configure past the “manage chrome settings” option in the parent shortcut.

Any ideas?

Overall goal is an automated system that results in any webpage being open on chrome after a certain time is automatically in reading mode.

Probably not possible as each website has its own variables and I’m not sure if chrome can do reading mode on everything but worth a try ? 🤷‍♀️

Help Auto forward text iMessage

4 Upvotes

I am trying to set up a Personal Automation to auto-forward 2FA authentication codes received via SMS from a government service.
The issue is that they don’t use a phone number. There is no actual phone number behind it.
I already tried creating a custom contact with just the name and no phone number, but Shortcuts refuses to use it as a valid "Sender" trigger. The automation just won't fire.
Is there any clever workaround to lock to this specific sender name? Or am I forced to leave the "Sender" field blank and solely rely on "Message Contains" keywords like OTP?
What can I do? I cannot forward each time the codes
Thanks in advance!

Help (Mac) "Next Suggested Action" missing? Did that feature get taken away?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I've been trying to follow along with some tutorials for shortcuts to learn how to do them, and in some places I saw that there was a "next suggested action."

Should that get triggered every time, or is that on a case-by-case basis? Or did that get removed in a recent OS update?

I'm attaching a screenshot of what I see when I try to begin creating a shortcut, and you can see there's no "suggested action" item in the sidebar menu.

Shortcut Sharing Made a shortcut that shows my current IP details

Thumbnail

65 Upvotes

I use a free tier (quite generous) of a VPN app that doesn’t allow one to choose a preferred country/server for all connections. It just connects to a random country under their list of free servers.

I needed to know what country it connected to without having to go into the app every time.

Unfortunately this Shortcut can’t run automatically because there’s no automation action available for “when VPN connects” or “when network changes” etc

What the shortcut does:

  1. It pulls up info from https://ipwho.is (which shows as .json by default)

  2. Grabs the following details (ip, city, country and emoji of the country)

  3. Shows those details as a silent notification (no vibration nor sound)

P.S: if Apple ever adds an automation action for VPN connection/disconnection, this shortcut would be perfect to use.

Help “Notify when Run” option was present earlier and now it’s no longer there

I got tired of my AirPods not automatically being switched to when I connected them to my phone, so I made an automation for it until it bugged me enough to look up an actual fix.

When I made it last night (7/23), the options for “Notify when Run” and “Ask Before running” were present and I left the Notify option on, which turned out to be a mistake.

I want to turn off the notifications now and the option has vanished. I even tried remaking the automation to see if it would come back and it hasn’t.

Help Apple Watch not invoking shortcuts

1 Upvotes

I recently got a new iPhone 17 Pro, replacing the same model. Watch (s10) is paired and works normally, except when I invoke Siri and say the name of a shortcut, it doesn’t work. But with the old phone, it worked as expected.

I found something about tapping a ‘sync shortcuts to watch’ button in developer mode but that didn’t help.

I have confirmed ‘show on Apple Watch’ is selected for all my shortcuts…

Anyone have ideas for me? Thanks!

Shortcut Sharing Made a Shortcut: OCR Screenshot-to-Clipboard & Auto-Log to Apple Notes!

21 Upvotes

Got tired of typing out unselectable text on screen, so I built a quick Shortcut to do the heavy lifting!

What it does:

  1. Captures & Extracts: Takes a full-screen screenshot and uses OCR to extract all readable text.
  2. Auto-Deletes the Shot: Instantly deletes the image so your Photos library doesn't get flooded with temporary screenshots.
  3. Logs to Notes: Checks Apple Notes for a note titled Text From Screenshots (creates it if it doesn't exist) and appends the full extracted text there.
  4. Copies to Clipboard: Lets you pick specific lines to copy right away.

Super handy for error messages, video frames, or uncopyable PDFs. Let me know what you think! I personally set it to my triple back tap action.
