Due to personal circumstances, I am pausing all #AppleShortcuts -related activities (creating/updating, user support, posting tips, and the Remote Sign server). There is currently no set timeline for my return. I apologize for any inconvenience.

You can use a live activity in #AppleShortcuts to show the progress of a long-running task using the free *Notify* app: apps.apple.com/app/id6748288936 It has other useful features like monitoring webpage changes, remotely triggering push notifications, etc.

Action Editor 2.0 can store and retrieve action snippets, synced across your devices, on OS 27. It’s my first shortcut that uses Stored Content. You can copy/edit/paste actions more easily by adding the shortcut to Control Center #AppleShortcuts routinehub.co/shortcut/18280

Exciting hidden #ShortcutsApp actions are being found* this weekend! For example, this #shortcut obtains the identifier of an action that you copy to the clipboard, which then can be used to detect if its app is installed in the device: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/75... (1/2)

You can change #AppleShortcuts color to any RGB + alpha using ‘Shortcut Source Tool’ (Alpha has a weird gradient effect and custom colors don’t show up correctly in many places, though) routinehub.co/shortcut/5256

‘Shortcut Source Tool’ automatically detects corruption (unbalanced if/repeat/menu) and offers to repair. I have checked with some recent #AppleShortcuts on RoutineHub, found 2 corrupted ones, and notified the developers🤟 routinehub.co/shortcut/5256

A #shortcut to pixelate specific areas of an image by painting over them using the Markup tool 🙂 routinehub.co/shortcut/217... Some image operations needed for this aren't available in the #ShortcutsApp but fortunately they can be implemented in JavaScript, so there are no external dependencies 😎

Cast of "Reacher" season 2, used as a demo for the shortcut

Same photo but with some faces painted blue with the Markup action in Shortcuts

The result of the shortcut: the painted areas now appear pixelated
