Hello and welcome to the Shortcuts Catalog!
This is a public resource to help people get started with Siri Shortcuts and the Shortcuts app.
It’s made up of three main sections below:
- the Shortcuts Library, a collection of starter shortcuts full of menus with hundreds of different ways to use them
- my Member Shortcuts, my advanced collection of shortcuts for folks subscribed to my membership (more below)
- the Action Directory, a documentation of the 300 built-in actions in Shortcuts available to browse outside the app
Subscribe to my newsletter to stay up with:
- New shortcuts as they’re added to the catalog & membership
- Shortcuts updates and new actions discovered in betas
- Stories from the community and links to related material
The following are the latest additions to my Shortcuts Library.
