Introduction

Shortcuts is an app built into iOS and iPadOS that allows you to create automations, or programs, without actual codeconnecting apps on your device to each other and beyond.

Shortcuts allows you to run a shortcuta series of actions that can communicate with one another and pass data to each other as well as deliver it to you. This allows you to do anything from change to a different camera app every time you open the camera, to creating complex templates for documents and expanding them with data on the fly.

In this book, I teach you the core understanding you need, so you can build shortcuts by yourself. I also walk you through plenty of sample shortcuts, which help you understand the application of the core concepts as well as being intrinsically useful. These include Meeting Time (to create a meeting notes template and automatically turn on Do Not Disturb), a shortcut to control the noise cancelling mode of AirPods Pro, and even one to add the currently playing song to a special playlist.

As well as learning how to build shortcuts, you will also learn how to use them with web services, and discover apps with excellent automation support which can improve your workflows.

Even if you are already familiar with Shortcuts, or programming in general, there are lots of tips and tricks throughout the book to help you improve your understanding and techniques.

This book teaches you more than how to use Shortcutsit also shows you examples of ways automation can make your life easier without adding complexity or difficulty to the tasks you do.

Explore The User Interface

Before we start building shortcuts, lets explore the user interface. First, find the Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad and tap its icon. Then we can explore the various areas of the app, and everything in them.

The Shortcuts Tabs

There are three tabs in Shortcuts, which you can switch among by tapping the icons at the bottom of the screen (Figure 1). First is My Shortcuts, which I, and others, sometimes refer to by its former name, the Shortcuts Library. The next tab is Automation, where you can configure shortcuts to run automatically. The final tab is Gallery, where you can download and install prebuilt shortcuts as well as create one-action shortcuts suggested by your apps.

In My Shortcuts is a tile representing each of your shortcuts (once you have added some; until then, youll see just a Create Shortcut tile). In the top-left corner of each shortcut is its icon, and at the bottom is the shortcuts name and the number of actions in it (Figure 2). Tap the icon to run the shortcut, or tap the More icon in the top-right corner to edit and inspect it If you touch and hold the - photo 3 icon in the top-right corner to edit and inspect it. (If you touch and hold the tile, you can rename the shortcut, share it, or open Detailsthe edit and inspection mode.)

The Shortcuts Editor

The editor interface in Shortcuts (Figure 3) has two main sections, the actions list and the shortcuts editor. On the iPad, the action list displays on the left and the shortcuts editor on the right. On the iPhone, the main view is the editor, and the action list is at the bottomdrag the search area upward to view it.

The More Picture 6 icon in the shortcuts editor displays a Details view that lets us control where the shortcut appears and more (Figure 4). Here we can rename the shortcut, set its icon, and control whether it should appear in the Today View or the activity view (formerly known as the Share sheet, a term Apple still uses here), and if so, which kinds of files or data it can accept.
