Apple Shortcuts my iPhone Runs Daily Automatically (2025)

What's new in GraphicConverter? macOS SHORTCUTS have been added! I thought they were going to wait until GraphicConverter 13! #Shortcuts #ShortcutsApp #Apple #macOS #GraphicConverter https://www.lemkesoft.info/sparkle/graphicconverter/notes/6799.html
Every week I sit down to budget, and it starts by opening Safari with two windows I set up.
It finally clicked that I should automate this, so, here it is! A combination of AppleScript + Shortcuts and it's now one click in my Dock.
I show the AppleScript on the left so you can see it all. It checks for Safari running because launching Safari gets you a window automatically. Second picture is the result. (Two YNAB tabs because I have $ and € budgets.)

I’m trying something new, which is to share some of my personal day-to-day workflows in a series I’m calling Wicked Workflows.
First up, a way you can use Shortcuts, Things and One Thing to keep you focused on one task.

I struggle to understand #devs who don’t use #keyboard #shortcuts for even the simplest stuff like cut and paste.
How do you work by highlighting the word with the mouse (not even double clicking it) then going to the top menu, clicking edit, wander up and down the menu looking for copy, then doing the same to paste!
Here’s a strange thing. IF I DO create a HomeKit Scene called “Morning” it works fine. The HomePods run the scene without confirmation, sound, anything. Just works.
If I say hey Siri “Good Morning” (with no scene or Shortcut called “Good Morning”) it will run the “Morning” scene AND give me a little da-ding confirmation that it ran successfully.
All I’m trying to do is create a SHORTCUT that turns on a bunch of lights and then speaks the words “Good morning” to me, like a nice little House AI would say to greet it’s homeowner.

I have a pair of OG HomePods. I have tried unsuccessfully to create a SHORTCUT called “Good Morning”. In my EXTENSIVE testing I can’t make Siri (via HomePods) recognize that Shortcut. If I rename it to… “Wicked” or some other word it works.
I DO NOT have a HomeKit SCENE called Good Morning or anything with the word Morning in it.
“Morning” has to be some messed up reserved word deep in Siri and associated with Scenes and not allowed for use in a Shortcut.

How to add items to a list?
Are there any macOS Shortcut experts?
I’m trying to do a REGEX replace, to replace decimal commas in a CSV with periods. I have this REGEX in the replace action:
(?<=[0-9]+),(?=[0-9]+)
I have set the action to be case insensitive
Here’s the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6f9acd95ac194a08aee3cf6c99ff222c
In VSCode, it correctly finds the occurrences, but the Shortcut action doesn’t do anything
Anyone knows what’s up?
Of course!
This is done entirely using iOS #Shortcuts.
- Open Shortcuts.
- Go to Automation.
- Create a new automation based on Wi-Fi.
Here, you can select which networks you want to automate this process for and whether it should occur when you join or leave a given network.
I recommend enabling "Run Immediately" so the automation runs automagically.
Next, configure your Action:
Choose "New Blank Automation".
Then search for "Set VPN".
You will have the option to either Connect or Disconnect from a specific VPN.
In today’s episode of “I can build a shortcut for that,” I built a shortcut that answers the question, “What Month Is It?” Seems like a shortcut that shouldn’t be necessary, but whatever.

@johnvoorhees @viticci For the next edition, may I suggest @nholzschuch's a-Shell and a-Shell mini?
it allows running Python scripts as well as native binaries of ffmpeg and ImageMagick. and if you need a proper shell there's dash
The #ShortcutsApp in macOS can run shell scripts. In iOS #shortcuts we have a-Shell and a-Shell mini
And they're open source, free, have no tracking, and updated constantly
Crackerjack episode, that – and not just because it felt like 30% of it John and Federico were talking about *my* apps. If you're into #Shortcuts (macOS & iOS), give it a listen, there are some gems in there!

Released v2025.0.4 β of my new #macOS app #BarCuts (https://actions.work/barcuts) last night, and I have a feeling that it'll be the last beta version before release!

(BarCuts shows your #Shortcuts workflows where you need them, when you need them. It's quite handy.)
