A curated library of reusable iOS Shortcuts that expose useful automation patterns around AI, speech-to-text, developer utilities, and knowledge capture.
Apple Shortcuts treated like real software artifacts: documented, versioned, categorized, configurable, and safe for others to install and reuse.
- Installable shortcuts that do genuinely useful work on iPhone and iPad
- Clear documentation so you can understand, configure, and troubleshoot each one
- Repeatable patterns for shortcuts that call external services (LLMs, speech-to-text APIs, webhooks, local servers)
- A consistent framework for adding new shortcuts instead of one-off blobs
