Welcome to my Shortcuts Library!
Check out the collection below to get started with Shortcuts — there are over 700 total across the free and members-only collections.
All shortcuts
Browse the latest shortcuts available for free or members-only.
Free shortcuts are easier to understand, solve a simple use case, or ideas that everyone should have in their collection.
Members-only shortcuts are more complex, solve specific use cases very well, and represent my unique ideas.
In general, an entire folder of shortcuts are either all free or all members-only — except the bundle shortcuts available on each page.
