After making a set of shortcuts for One Thing for Mac, I built a simple progression meter for the Menu Bar using Shortcuts.
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.
Members also get bundle shortcuts, which compile each folder into single shortcuts so you can get all the benefits in one download.

My collection of shortcuts for One Thing for Mac, a Menu Bar applet that lets you display any text — automate your music, tasks, and current status.
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.
