<!-- SC_OFF -->Saw this shortcut posted yesterday https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/s/QsNR0ibhm9 .. I’m unaffiliated with @anal_chemist I promise! But it didn’t work well for me and most others it seems like, so I fixed up the script significantly and now it should work much better and faster. It uses smarter iOS screen matching logic so it’ll work a lot more consistently without having to manually crop images etc Currently only did limited testing in SDR (png) format screenshots.. will likely end up updating this once I run into issues https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/bfa4069037d1494682e7f02216fc1bae <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/mrASSMAN (https://www.reddit.com/user/mrASSMAN)

I build a screen time control app that show the scrolling time while scrolling using shortcut
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1xahrhl/i_build_a_screen_time_control_app_that_show_the/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I built a screen time control app that uses Shortcuts to show a live timer in the Dynamic Island while you scroll Social media apps are designed to hook you until you lose track of time. I only realize how much time I've wasted after checking my screen time report. It uses Shortcuts “When App is opened/closed" automations to start and stop a timer when you open and close selected apps. The timer stays visible in the Dynamic Island, so you can see how long you’ve been using an app without leaving it. The timer creates that sense of regret for me, which helps break mindless scrolling as I can see how much time I’ve been wasted. When you’re ready to stop, you can lock the app directly from the Dynamic Island with one tap. On top of that, you can customize your own prompt messages and countdowns displayed on the Dynamic Island to pull you out of endless scrolling. You can also set up multiple locking schedules inside the app, including daily usage quotas and time-based restrictions. Once locked, there is no skip button to bypass the limit. Besides, the app also has a direct search feature, which takes you straight to the search results page without distractions from the social media homepage feed. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

iOS 27 messing with Shortcuts
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1xanou1/ios_27_messing_with_shortcuts/

<!-- SC_OFF -->My shortcuts have stopped working one by one over the past few days, and I had to reassign the actions in the app. Anyone else having this issue?
Also, is it happening with automations as well, and if yes, is there any way (apart from screenshots) to recover the action tree? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/melian_x (https://www.reddit.com/user/melian_x)

Why could this automation be failing?
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1xatoi3/why_could_this_automation_be_failing/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I have an e-bike that connects to my iPhone via Bluetooth when I turns on. My goal is to have that connection trigger a switch to a Focus Mode and launch specific apps. The native “when [device] is connected” action does not give me the option to select the bike, so my thought was to have it run the automation whenever any Bluetooth device is connected. (Note, the third-party “is Bluetooth device connected” only works with BLE, but the bike does connect via BLE.) When I connect the bike, the device shows as connected, but the automation does not run. What could I be missing here? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/An_Professional (https://www.reddit.com/user/An_Professional)

This is an iOS app that logs every Apple Pay payment automatically, including in-app ones like Uber that the Wallet automation misses
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1xavfam/this_is_an_ios_app_that_logs_every_apple_pay/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey everyone! My brother and I built an app called Tael. We wanted our spending tracked without typing in every coffee or linking a bank account, and Shortcuts got us most of the way there. The catch is that Wallet’s Transaction trigger only fires on NFC taps. If you pay with Apple Pay inside an app, like Uber or food delivery, the automation never runs. On iOS 27, though, Shortcuts can run on Wallet’s payment notification, which fires for in-app and online payments too. Its fields map pretty cleanly: Title = card, Subtitle = merchant, Body = amount. Tael uses one shortcut that handles all of this: Logs Apple Pay payments silently from the Wallet notification on iOS 27, or from the Transaction trigger on iOS 18–26 When you run it from the Action button, Siri or a widget, asks for the amount, card and shop, for cash or anything Apple Pay can’t see Sorts charges automatically once you’ve tagged a shop Contains no network actions or hidden Run Shortcut steps, so you can read every step If you’d rather not use an app, the three notification fields above are all you need to build your own logger, and I’m happy to help in the comments. I’d also like to know if the Title/Subtitle/Body order is different for your bank or region. The app is free, and Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription.

If you grab one, please take only one, so more people get a shot. If you enjoy Tael, a review on the App Store would mean a lot. Thanks!

I made a shortcut that automatically opens Wiktionary without having to open external browser.
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1xaxhd8/i_made_a_shortcut_that_automatically_opens/

<!-- SC_OFF -->https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/af42c938c8ec48549e7e7e04e435deb5 I find it not really convenient to wait for external browser to open just to look up etymology of a word, so I decided to create a shortcut that automatically opens Wiktionary. And this might be useful for some "language nerds" like me. Just simply enter a word you want to look up, choose a specific language (if there's multiple languages using this term), and it opens a web view of Wiktionary. Keep in mind that I used "Show Web View" action instead of "Open URL" as it will open too many tabs and make your browser seems overcrowded.

Weather summary shortcut in morning via notification blurp
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1xaynfy/weather_summary_shortcut_in_morning_via/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Want a weather shortcut on iOS that basically gives one the current conditions for the day. When the notification is clicked/expanded, it gives the weather summary for the day (with glyphs a temperatures throughout the day as in the iOS weather app) like an expanded notification picture. Would appreciate it if someone could help me with making it. Thanks! Purpose: I want this specifically since I don’t want the weather consuming battery all the time by accessing my location.
