I regularly update and post about my Shortcuts but on this page I’m keeping links to my latest Shortcuts. Some are unpublished and undocumented. It’s a page that serves me as a backup copy - in case my Shortcuts get hosed, which unfortunately happens a lot to the buggy-but-so-useful Shortcuts app on iOS/iPadOS/macOS. Use these Shortcuts to your own benefit and at your own risk 😜
