A really great application that almost no one knows and uses. Change that.

Apple Shortcuts is an app for iOS and iPadOS devices that allows you to create and use custom automated workflows, called “shortcuts,” to perform tasks on your device. The app includes a library of pre-made shortcuts that you can use as is, or customize to fit your needs. You can also create your own shortcuts using a variety of actions, including those that interact with native apps and those that retrieve information from the internet. Shortcuts can be activated manually, or they can be triggered automatically using a variety of methods, such as using a specific location, time of day, or device event.

You can use it both for repetitive actions, to sign your photos, collect data from web pages so that it is presented to you in a summarized way, read text using Siri’s voice and it could continue like this for a long time because the possibilities are unlimited.

It is a perfect app to improve your productivity but also to do fun things.

I have a lot of experience with shortcuts, I even wrote a book about it (in Spanish), and now you can have an good start with my beginner guide.
