It allows you to "tag" workflows to an app. When that app is active and in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu. It's pretty nice!</p><p>Website: <a href="https://actions.work/barcuts" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">actions.work/barcuts</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://norden.social/tags/ShortcutsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortcutsApp</span></a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>automation</span></a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a></p>

Antonio Bueno<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@villasbc" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>villasbc</span></a></span> I usually do it by choosing “Most compatible” in the share sheet options. And if I want more control, I use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShortcutsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortcutsApp</span></a> + a-Shell mini + ffmpeg.</p>
iBanks<p>After many, many, many hours of work and testing with the Automation Control beta testers, v2.0 of Automation Control for your Shortcuts is here. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcuts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shortcutsapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcutsapp</span></a></p><p><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/automation-control/id6737158540" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apps.apple.com/us/app/automati</span><span class="invisible">on-control/id6737158540</span></a></p><p>In the simplest terms, this app allows you to manage the on and off status of your Shortcuts Automations while also determining if they should run based on several different conditions. If you are on 1.0x, please backup your data prior to updating, just in case.</p>
Nathaniel Daught<p>So I guess iOS 18 broke all the Shortcuts support in the share sheet?!<br><a href="https://social.lol/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ShortcutsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortcutsApp</span></a></p>
Congress App for iOS & macOS<p>An upcoming version of <a href="https://social.mrtoto.net/tags/CongressApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CongressApp</span></a> (released before <a href="https://social.mrtoto.net/tags/38c3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>38c3</span></a> with a bit of luck) will allow you to use the “Upcoming sessions" that power the widget in the <a href="https://social.mrtoto.net/tags/ShortcutsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortcutsApp</span></a> as well. With this you can for example export all your upcoming favorite URLs, titles or mark all upcoming sessions from a certain room as favorites and much more. <br>This will go into <a href="https://social.mrtoto.net/tags/TestFlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TestFlight</span></a> soon, so if you want to try it out join here: <a href="https://testflight.apple.com/join/u3itHv7w" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">testflight.apple.com/join/u3it</span><span class="invisible">Hv7w</span></a></p>

iBanks<p>Quite an excellent find for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shortcutsapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcutsapp</span></a> IF action. A new Current App parameter as an option in the IF statement by default.

Antonio Bueno<p>Is it me or did <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> miss an opportunity last week to really show they care about the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShortcutsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShortcutsApp</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcuts</span></a>? 😕</p>

It's a very reduced set of functions right now but I wanted to get the beta out of the door, and “perfect” is the enemy of "ever”.</p><p>macOS 13.3+. The public beta opens (checks watch) now.
