Together with iOS 12, the new Shortcuts application arrived on the iPhone and iPad, which builds on the foundations of the Workflow application, which Apple bought in 2017. Thanks to the shortcuts, it is possible to automate a large number of actions on iOS and thus simplify the use of the iPhone or iPad in many ways . For example, last week we showed how to use Shortcuts download videos from YouTube.

A significant advantage is that it is not necessary to create shortcuts every time, but you can download them ready-made to your device and just upload them to the application. The source is various discussion forums, most often then Reddit. However, the MacStories server has recently created database, which lists a number of useful shortcuts. These can not only be downloaded for free, but can also be modified as desired and then shared as modified.

The archive is divided into several categories, most often by application or device. Shortcuts for the App Store can be found, for example, with which you can download all application screenshots or get an affiliate link. But there is also a shortcut that downloads files to your iCloud Drive, creates a PDF, wakes the Mac from sleep and enters the password for you, sleeps a Mac connected on the same network, or automatically fills in your weight in the Health application.

Currently, there are exactly 151 abbreviations in the database. Federico Viticci, the author of the archive, promised that their number will increase in the future. Viticci himself designed all the mentioned shortcuts and has been using them for many years - first in the Workflow application, now in Shortcuts. So they are tested, functional and tuned to perfection.
