New in the Shortcuts Library: Apple TV Apps shortcuts
While updating my Apple TV Remote shortcuts for multiple devices, I cleaned up my Apple TV apps and built out a new set of shortcuts to open them all.
Opens the app Wordy for Apple TV that displays the time in an abstract text style, like “Quarter to twelve” rather than actual numbers.
Opens the App Store app on the Apple TV so you can browse new apps.
Opens Twitch on the TV of your choice, showing the Remote after so you can select a channel.
Opens the PCalc app for Apple TV and shows the remote so you can perform calculations on the big screen.
Opens the Letterboxd app on the selected Apple TV, then shows the Remote so you can navigate
Opens the tvClock app for Apple TV that shows the time in a large flip-style format.
Opens the YouTube app on a selected Apple TV, then shows the Remote so you can select a video.
Takes a YouTube video URL, scrapes the profile URL, and opens the /live link to the channel’s current or recent streams.
Opens the deep link into the Watch Later page of the YouTube website, where I can then watch videos in picture-in-picture. Requires opening in Safari after showing page.
Switches the Apple Watch always-on display on or off depending on your last setting.
Opens to the new “Food” section in Apple News+ that curates stories and recipes for you.
Get way deeper into Shortcuts – become a member.
