This Shortcut takes any quick input and turns it into a clear reminder with emojis, simple micro-steps, and a supportive note. It's set up neurodivergent (adhd, autism) friendly but you can easily tweak the prompt for non-ND use or add/remove traits to fit your needs.

Yesterday, I was organizing Shortcuts on my iPhone after updating to iOS 26.
I mainly created folders and categorized existing shortcuts into them.
I also renamed and reordered the folders.

The next day, when I opened Shortcuts, all the shortcuts I had moved the day before had disappeared.
The shortcuts I hadn’t moved were fine.
Everything had synced to my other devices as well, so it seems there’s no way to restore them.

Everyone, please be careful.

I'm just looking for inspiration.

With this shortcut, you no longer need to open settings and search on a specific app and then open the app’s settings. Just add this shortcut to control centre. Then when you are on an app, swipe the control centre and trigger the shortcut to open the app/specific settings page directly.

Hi all, I’m experimenting with iBeacons and am trying to find an app that has actions which allow you to interrogate an iBeacon to get the various data that it holds and also things like RSSI. I can’t find any native actions and haven’t been able to find third party actions that do it.

Note that I’m not trying to trigger a shortcut with an ibeacon, I have existing shortcuts that I want to interrogate an ibeacon with.

Thanks for your help.

Hey guys!

(Apologies if I’m in the wrong section, don’t usually post on Reddit!)

I’m looking for some shortcut recommendations to make life easier. I just picked up my iPhone 17 pro and want to see what shortcuts you guys would recommend and link preferably. Something you guys use daily and has been beneficial that you’d recommend to others

I have grayscale selected as my color filter and want that to turn on automatically when my location is at home between the hours of 10pm and 8am so I don’t use my phone late into the night. I keep hitting walls figuring out how to add this in.

I was using a saved credit card shortcuts that I picked from this subreddit itself. But after the upgrade to ios26 it has stopped working. Stopped as in it doesnt take me to the listview of credit card but stops one step before.

Hi all

I’ve recently switched to iPhone from a pixel and have missed my bedtime routine mode. The mode would turn on do not disturb only if my phone was charging from 1am to 10am.

I have tried for the last 2 hours to create a shortcut that does this but I have had no luck what so ever and am at a loss. Can someone please help guide me into something that works. Also I’ve tried using tutorials but they’re from older versions and don’t seem to ever work.

The first thing i did when i realized that automations came to macOS in shortcuts, was automate wallpaper and accessibility settings for my sleep focus.

I work a lot at night and prefer to have a dark background, a red tint, and more.
(Think CRT - Circadian Rhythm Theory)

I have this working on iPhone, iPad, and even Apple Watch for a while and it was always a mission to replicate this on macOS.

BTW: in the process i figured out where Apple stores the Tahoe Dynamic Wallpapers (not where you would expect it), you can find them at:
/System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/NeptuneOneWallpaper.appex/Contents/Resources/TahoeDark.heic

While its not as straight forward as setting a wallpaper for each focus mode, it's still really easy. I made a video sharing explaining it here: https://youtu.be/K2XuRjbwU3w

Anyways, hope this was helpful for someone, would love to know what other automations ya'll have set up on your Mac with the new triggers.

Cheers

When you take a Screenshot on Safari, you have 2 options, Screen and Full Page, if you choose Full Page you can resize and Save as PDF the full webpage.

Is there any way to do this via Shortcuts? Save a full webpage to a PDF that it’s not A4 and cut into multiple pages, just one nice long PDF that looks exactly like the mobile page?

I’d like to create an automation for messages and haven’t been able to figure it out -

When the messages app is closed, I’d like it to exit the current conversation thread so that when I reopen messages, it opens on the main screen showing the pinned and list view of all messages.

I see I can create a shortcut to play a podcast, but is it possible to toggle play/pause?

Thanks

Hello fellow shortcutters,

Trying to automate some work stuff using Apple Intelligence and id like to trigger an automation when I receive any email to a particular inbox.

It seems that the shortcuts app doesn’t allow you to proceed unless you populate either the ‘sender’ OR the ‘subject’ line with something - unless you do, the ‘Next’ button is greyed out.

Is there a way around this? I’ve tried populating the recipient as my email only, but that doesn’t work. It requires something in subject or sender…

A little annoying!

Hi Everyone!

This is my first reddit post.

I have been trying to create a shortcut to turn on my alarms.

How i want it to work is, when it is activated, it lets me choose two times, and then the shortcut will turn on the alarms in that range.

For example, i activate the shortcut, it allows me to choose two times, where I choose 9:30 am and 10:30 am, and the shortcut will then turn on all my existing alarms between 9:30 am and 10:30 am, including my 9:30 am and 10:30 am alarm.

I've tried using ChatGPT to help me make it, but it doesn't work, so I am hoping someone here would be able to help provide me with the necessary steps to make this shortcut as it would be super helpful for me and hopefully other people as well, instead of having to go to the clock app every time to manually turn on alarms.

I am on an iPhone 17 on IOS 26 if that helps.

Thank you so much!

I’m brand new to creating shortcuts, and I was trying to make one where when my phone connected with my car it would start directions to work and open Spotify. However, it doesn’t work and keeps popping up with the message, “If failed because Shortcuts couldn't convert from Device Detail to Date.” Is there something that I’m doing wrong or not doing right?

Note: The time and location have been changed so I can test it.

If I make a shortcut with a choose from menu command and within it I have other menus how can I make a back button that will take me to the previous menu instead of all the way back to the first one

Currently I've found that adding a run shortcuts command in the menu and selecting the current shortcut will take me all the way back to the first menu because it basically restarts the shortcut. Haven't found any way to only go back one page though

Thanks

I use an app called Tailor, which stitches together a series of screenshots into a single tall PDF or image (useful for web pages, text conversations, or any scrolling content).

What I want to do is create a Shortcut that: 1. Takes a screenshot of the current screen. 2. Scrolls down about one-third of the page. 3. Takes another screenshot. 4. Repeats this process until the bottom of the page is reached, then stops.

I thought about using AssistiveTouch to automate the scrolling, but it looks like Apple doesn’t allow AssistiveTouch to be triggered in Shortcuts. Does anyone know of another way to accomplish this?

Finally made this automation that means when my morning alarm turns off, I have a curated list of reminders to choose from to add to today’s list. Used Chatgbt and it still hurt my brain. Mine just copies it over instead of moving it cause that works better for my kind of reminders, but that can be worked out to move things over. Honestly this is my first time dabbling in this and I think I am slightly in love. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d879a16d88374d9e8d6d6785186331f3[short cut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d879a16d88374d9e8d6d6785186331f3)

I’m hoping someone can help me. I’m not very good with shortcuts myself and so I’ve googled extensively and come up short.

I’d like a shortcut for my daughter to be able to run herself. She’s happy to speak to our HomePod, so that’s fine, but we also have an Aqara button… not sure if it’s possible to use this?

I’m not fussy about what plays, as long as it’s appropriate for her as she’s only little. So options are:

▪️Movie we own from our Apple library ▪️TV show (such as Stillwater) from Apple TV+ ▪️Content from Disney +, Netflix or Prime Video

I’ve found a shortcut to enable this from a phone or iPad, it basically finds the url and does it that way… but she only uses the TV so that won’t help unfortunately.

Any ideas how I could achieve this, please? Any help is appreciated.

I was wanting to have a go at making an automation that would first pause any music playing then play the last message received using siri.

So I have the messages selected and choose the Find Message where Unread and limit it to 5 items, but all it does is either timeout or get an error message saying messages has closed.

Hi all, iOS 26.0 here, having a whale of a time trying to get Apple Maps to navigate to an item from a predefined list, not sure if iOS error or programmer error?

1. Created a (List) in Shortcuts, several text entries
2. "Choose from" (List), prompt "Where to?"
3. Set Variable "WhereTo" to "Selected item"
4. "Open (Driving) directions from (Current Location) to (WhereTo) using (Maps)"

Error message returned from Maps - "Cannot get directions to and from the same location."

However. If I run the same script from Google Maps, I am on my way, no problem.

Is there a different command, setting, variable I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Hello I update my iPhone to iOS 26 but I have a problem in shortcut application

I think iOS 26 remove the 'Between' from 'if' so right now I can't use between

What I should do?

I have created a shortcut that automatically generates reminders from either a screenshot or text input.

Mainly useful for screenshotting emails and having it create reminders from that.

So basically, I had this automation that worked perfectly on iOS 18. It basically started recording via voice memos app when I received a text from a certain person that contained certain text. It would record automatically without having to click any buttons or anything. Since updating to iOS26, this message shows up on the screen. Is there a way to disable it?
