Master the Shortcuts App for the Mac!

Jeff -

Although the Shortcuts app is already pretty popular on the iPhone, very few people use it on their Macbooks as well. So I’ve put together a "Get Started" guide for the Shortcuts app on the Mac!

Download the Shortcuts

  1. Hide Desktop Clutter - Link
  2. Enter Focus Mode - Link
  3. Leave Focus Mode (aka Chill) - Link
  4. Network Tool - Link
  5. Count Characters - Link
  6. Search On - Link
  7. Empty Downloads Folder - Link
  8. Make GIF - Link

Instructions

If you're on a desktop browser, clicking into the links above should bring you to a page where you can just click "Get Shortcut"

If for some reason that is NOT working:

  1. Make sure your Shortcuts app is open
  2. Paste the iCloud link (URL) into your Notes app
  3. Click the link from within the Notes app

This should open up a prompt from your Shortcuts app directly (and bypass your browser)

Watch it in action
