David Chartier<p>Hey <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/SiriShortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SiriShortcuts</span></a> folks: Here’s an interesting thread of people sharing custom shortcuts they’ve built to do all kinds of unique things.</p><p>A standout for me: A woman has seizures. So her husband built a shortcut for her phone that texts her GPS location to him, a message that says “I’m having a seizure,” and begins an audio recording for 20 minutes so they can log how long it lasts for her medical records. 🤯 <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shortcuts</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/s/Nsj792pu72" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/shortcuts/s/Nsj79</span><span class="invisible">2pu72</span></a></p>

Carlo Zottmann<p>Here's a good tip that could help your work/life balance:</p><p>You probably have a number of sites you have open throughout your workday, right? Use Browser Actions's <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shortcuts</span></a> actions to build a workflow that sets up your "key windows" with the right tabs in the morning. And in the evening, just close those windows.</p><p>Not having to look at work stuff all the time is healthy, and setting it up again is just one workflow run away.</p><p><a href="https://actions.work/browser-actions?ref=mastodon-b9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">actions.work/browser-actions?r</span><span class="invisible">ef=mastodon-b9</span></a></p><p><a href="https://norden.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/WorkflowAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkflowAutomation</span></a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/BrowserActions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrowserActions</span></a></p>
Dan Morgan :ksu:<p>Turns out this Shortcut only works on days in the past. It fails on Today because I can’t increment Today+1 to set a valid end date.

Carlo Zottmann<p>Amateur content creators, streamline your social media routine, maybe?

Dan Morgan :ksu:<p>You’d have to customize it for you own calendar. Mine is named “🏃Fitness” and is hard coded into the Shortcut. Also, you must have Toolbox Pro installed. </p><p>A lot of caveats, I know, but sometimes sharing a bit of example Shortcut code can unlock a lot of great ideas.</p><p>2/2 <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AppleWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleWatch</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AppleFitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleFitness</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcuts</span></a></p>
Dan Morgan :ksu:<p>I have updated my Shortcut and sharing the link here if you find it useful. Now you pick the date and it iterates through all the exercises (max 5) for that day and creates separate (All Day) events for each exercise. (I’m not interested in recording the times and duration in the actual calendar event time) I removed the ability to add a note as I’m not using it often. <br>1/2<br><a href="https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/9a4a5fae307d4d0b98f7e9ef4fc2eaa7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">icloud.com/shortcuts/9a4a5fae3</span><span class="invisible">07d4d0b98f7e9ef4fc2eaa7</span></a></p><p> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AppleWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleWatch</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AppleFitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleFitness</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcuts</span></a></p>
Dan Morgan :ksu:<p>I wanted to better track my workouts in a visual way using a calendar. I also didn’t want to use a dedicated app, so I settled on creating a new calendar in the stock Calendar app and a Shortcut that creates an entry using the details of my most recent workout. I could add more choices like ability to choose a date or particular workout but for now this works. It also prompts me to add my own details. </p><p>It logs the exercise name, calories burned, time, and distance (if applicable) and user entered notes in parenthesis. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AppleWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleWatch</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AppleFitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleFitness</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shortcuts</span></a></p><p>(Edit: I had to use Toolbox Pro to access workout details)</p>

Marco :prami:<p>I think I don't have to mention that a) I have not edited the shortcut for ages and b) I have absolutely no idea why macOS generates duplicates *on the same machine* without even running that shortcut. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shortcuts</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a></p>

Matthew Cassinelli<p>Also I really want tags and folder groups and smart folders in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shortcuts</span></a> this year.</p>

Carlo Zottmann<p>One thing I personally love about my app Browser Actions (<a href="https://actions.work/browser-actions?ref=mastodon-b6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">actions.work/browser-actions?r</span><span class="invisible">ef=mastodon-b6</span></a>, it adds macOS Shortcuts support to Chrome, Brave, etc.):</p><p>Each of its Shortcuts action works with any supported browser. When I switch browsers, I don't need to rebuild my BA-powered workflows: I just adjust the target browser. And for workflows I want to run in more than one browser, I simply target the frontmost browser.

The #Tolman "sunburst maze" results (from 1946) are often used to demonstrate shortcut ability in rats... but do they really? More on this later!

For now, would you know of any #ComputationalModels that were tested in this protocol (whether they replicate the original results or not)? We know of a few (well... 4) but would like to make sure we are not missing any.

#BehaviouralNeuroscience #SpatialCognition #Shortcuts #CognitiveMap #Neuroscience (kind of)

Schematic of the sunburst maze in its test version, with a central circular platform, a blocked "learned" path, and several radiating arms from the center, one of them is a shortcut to the food location.

Huge shoutout to @amerpie for his very, very positive review of my contextual #Shortcuts launcher #BarCuts. I'm positively blushing 🙏🏼

Lou is a prolific app reviewer (macOS), think of any app, and chances are he gave it a spin and wrote about it. His blog is a good resource for finding new things, is what I'm saying

Are there recurring tasks that you have to do in your browser? Have you considered automating them with a single #Shortcuts workflow? Because that's exactly what my #macOS app Browser Actions makes possible.

Manage windows, control tabs, interact with websites, extract content. And then combine all that with all the other cool apps on your Mac that come with #ShortcutsApp support 🤯

(And if you need help w/ that, just follow the Forum link there!)
