Anyone ever use Shortcuts? I had not

I did not until I saw this video: https://youtu.be/iLKCwTvGUn0?si=4cOWU_BjkQ7kb0kF

Some of these are quite handy. I have been using MacOS for over 15 years, learning new things 🙂

I have made some automations on the iPhone.

I guess its the spritual successor to Automator, which is the successor to AppleScript?

Donoreo I use a couple of shortcuts. You can find a lot of shortcuts here. https://matthewcassinelli.com/

[deleted] Automator still exists, but I think shortcuts will work with it.

I have 3 shortcuts on my IPad , DSLReports, CraigsList , and DISCOGS . Prompts me a thought. I'm using my passwords app a lot. Nice if Apple would allow a shortcut there. They seem to change / hide the passwords more recently

I think of [shortcuts] as the successor to batch files

To be clear, I am only using these on my Mac, I use Android (Pixel) phones.

I used to have two setup to make driving easier but they broke once I updated the iPhone to the latest software.

However, I would just say Siri play highwaymen. It would play my playlist of the highwaymen. I also had a second one setup for a different artist as well.

However, going from 16 to 17 broke the shortcuts and they won’t work anymore, and at the same time, I forgot about them until this seeing this post.
