Apple Shortcuts

Apple Shortcuts is a visual scripting tool that automates complex task sequences across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS via custom triggers and multi-app actions.

Apple Shortcuts transforms repetitive digital tasks into single-tap or voice-activated automations by chaining together granular actions from native and third-party apps. Built on the foundation of the 2017 Workflow acquisition, the platform allows users to build sophisticated logic (using variables, If statements, and Repeat loops) to handle everything from generating expense reports to managing smart home scenes. These workflows integrate deeply with the Apple ecosystem, triggering via Siri, Home Screen widgets, the Action button, or system events like arriving at a specific GPS coordinate. With support for web APIs and JavaScript, it serves as a powerful bridge for power users to extend device functionality without writing traditional code.
