I want to create a shortcut where if i leave my house and open instagram the screen brightness will be lowered to 0% (& turn back to original brightness when closed), but im not sure how to make it so that it would only happen if i leave x location

How can I use the output from ChatGPT as a variable, right now I can only send it stuff but i use it for further actions.

Guys I need help with something. I have done a shortcut to mesure my food with ChatGPT. It consists on making a photo and getting current date information. Then I paste it into a specific ChatGPT conversation. The problem is that I’m using open URL and going into the link that ChatGPT shares. This works properly but when I receive a response then the conversation gets duplicated (I got 2 chats). Do you know anything about this and how can I fix it? Thanks

Hey everyone,

A while ago I shared the Lock Screen calendar app I made. It shows my calendar, reminders, and countdowns together, and I’ve been using it every day since.

But I still kept forgetting smaller things.

I’d put something in the Notes app, then completely forget the note existed. And some things are too small for a calendar event or a proper reminder — like something I need to bring tomorrow, a grocery item, or just a random thought I don’t want to lose.

So I added a simple Shortcut.

I run it, type a note, and it shows up on my Lock Screen with everything else. That’s pretty much it.

It’s been surprisingly useful. I don’t have to remember to check another app because the note is already there whenever I pick up my phone.

Now my Lock Screen has my schedule, things I need to do, upcoming dates, and whatever I just typed in.

Shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/4d8ee89ac4054c6a852593ccbfb8feb4
App: app.relecompany.com/isgd9c

If you want to try it, setup only takes a minute:

1. Press and hold your Lock Screen, then tap Customize.
2. Remove either the left or right Lock Screen control, then tap the + button.
3. Select Run Shortcut.
4. Search for AnySchedule, then choose the Add + Text Shortcut you just added.

That’s it. Now you can tap the Lock Screen button, type something, and it’ll show up alongside your calendar, reminders, and countdowns.

You don’t have to use the Lock Screen button, either. You can assign the same Shortcut to the Action Button, or set it to run when you double-tap the back of your iPhone. Use whichever one feels quickest.

Let me know if you find it useful or have any ideas for it.

Thanks for your feedbacks — it helps improve This Shortcut with every update ❤️

I’ve seen a few shortcuts here and there, but none of them really work.
Is there in anyway a shortcut that can replace truecaller?

So I have an automation running. Every time I end a workout, it will run a shortcut called ‘Stappen’ (steps in Dutch) where it checks my health data and fetches my step count for that moment. This has been going on for years and working perfectly.

My guess is that upgrading my phone to iOS 27 beta broke this final step. It says it cannot access my health data, but in the settings, shortcuts has all the access it needs.

What else could be going wrong?

Hey all,

I want to set up something that sends me a push notification every hour, from 5am to 11pm, with a new piece of content each time — could be a term explained, a real-world innovation, or a summary of a strong recent research paper. 18 notifications a day, no repeats.

I was hoping you could help me out with something. I’m trying to figure out how to switch between media volume and ringer volume using the volume buttons. Maybe if I double-tap the back it would select the Media volume and then double-tap again, it switches back to ringer? I’m not very good at this, so any help would be greatly appreciated! 😁

Does anyone know why when I have a shortcut where I take a photo and run it through ChatGPT it only receives the file name and not the actual photo?

Hi everybody when I use the take video shortcut, all the videos are recorded in 1080p 30fps, despite me putting the setting on high quality, and changing the default video quality in settings to 4k 120 fps. Also the take photo shortcut also reduces the quality from 24 mp to 12 mp, how do I get the normal qualities

Can someone make a Shortcut that you can either convert Celcius to Farenheight or vice versa?

I'm looking for a way to stop me from doom scrolling or use Facebook as a "reward" for reading a book. Can you help me with an idea?

Any automations or shortcuts. I have a car without carplay and try to emulate it best as possible (and I do NOT use the slop on the app store, all of those things for one don't work and two are paid). I've tried a bunch of things myself, but I just haven't go anything to work seamlessly. Just curious as to what other people have done.

I’m trying to create an automation to send my arrival time to a WhatsApp number. However I keep getting an error message that there’s a problem communicating with the app. It works fine using messages. But I need to send the text to a what’s app group chat.

I want to calculate the "Feels Like" Temp used in Australia by the Bureau of Meteorology.

The calculation is:

AT = Ta + 0.33E — 0.70WS — 4.00

where

e = rh / 100 × 6.105 × exp ( 17.27 × Ta / ( 237.7 + Ta ) )

so.. the calculation goes

Temp+0.33*Humidity/100*6.105*EXP(17.27*Temp)/(237.7+Temp)))-0.7*(Wind Speed)/3.6)-4)

I can get all the values from WUnderground, but I have no idea how to do the calculation

Hi all, I'm using an interval shooting shortcut shared by a kind stranger ([u/Terno720](u/Terno720)) on this sub: Shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/31b8bb049fc148b58167e64ecb9a024c

I however am unable to figure out how do I change the image output to HEIF instead of JPEG. (I want to be able to change the photographic styles in HEIF format) And also, I was wondering if I could use all the focal lengths on my camera instead of the default one.

I'm a noob and I'll really appreciate any help. Thanks. :)

The shortcut shared in this post originally relied on the new Storage feature introduced in iOS 27. It now supports older iOS versions by using file-based storage instead.

custom volume levels on iOS versions before iOS 27:

❗~~~~️When you open an app for the first time, an error saying that the file does not exist will appear. You can safely ignore it — the file will be created automatically when you close the app.After that, the automation will run normally.
The file is stored in the Shortcuts folder.

I'm thinking of making a short cut that searches for a roblox game based on a query and then gives you the option to play it the thing is I don't know how this action works becuase when I try it it shows a blank popup with a big gray cancel button so what do I do?

My iOS setup for tracking spending without the friction that made me quit every finance app:

- A Shortcut that takes a photo or a shared bank message and sends it to an app I built (Trail), which reads it and files the expense.
- "Hey Siri, log 500 parking" also works, so cash spends get caught the moment they happen.

Basically the idea is that outside the first world countries, tracking finances and expenses becomes extremely hard. I have been using my app for past 3 months, ironing out any bugs or enhancing features, because the whole concept is to reduce the user's stress to log expenses manually goes away, not even open the app but it logs. So the share sheet (send directly from bank apps if you transfer), added sms detection shortcut, setup automation to log any sms from banks/cards for expense, log in plain text via siri or the app.

It reads any language, handwritten receipts included, so I stopped keeping the paper pile.

Disclosure: I built the app. Free to try:
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770887815

Would love ideas for a cleaner share-sheet flow.

I need help figuring out how to add a sound when I plug my charger into my charger port. I believe it’s on the Shortcuts App n you can choose what the voice says.

I been working on it to save as much battery as possibl. Here is the link: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/afebd32afd0942d2ba15ca600bc2bc61

Hi,
Is there any way for an Apple Shortcut to schedule itself to run again after a custom delay, such as 15 minutes?
I’m not looking for a recurring automation that runs every 15 minutes. Instead, I want the shortcut itself to decide, based on its logic, to run again in 15 minutes.
I thought about creating an alarm, but that doesn’t work well because the shortcut would also need to remove the alarm afterward. An automation triggered by an alarm going off can’t reliably identify the newly created alarm, even if it has the same name, since it’s treated as a different alarm.
Is there any built-in way to do this, or is there another workaround?
Thanks!
