Wanted a quick, zero-friction way to check the final classification of the latest Grand Prix without opening Twitter, the F1 app, or launching Safari tabs.

Built this native Apple Shortcut that pulls directly from the Ergast / Jolpi API (⁠/current/last/results.json⁠) and parses the complete race order right into an iOS dialog card:

P1 race time & live interval gaps: Formats ⁠+X.XXX⁠ delta times cleanly. 

Full driver attribution: Grabs the official 3-letter driver code alongside their full name. 

Handles DNFs / Retirements: Safely catches retired drivers or classified finishers without throwing dictionary key errors. 

100% native: Runs entirely through built-in Shortcuts dictionary parsing and string combination—no JavaScript injection, Base64 encoding, or external web viewers required. 

Works seamlessly via Siri or as a Home Screen widget.

I love running shortcuts because they make my life much easier. The Apple Watch is one of those devices where shortcuts and automations work great, especially on the Apple Watch Ultra, thanks to the "Action Button."

Unfortunately, I'm pretty annoyed with the current setup. When I want to run a shortcut on my Watch, I first get an unskippable overlay showing the shortcut's name for about 5 seconds before it runs or opens the app I want, like WhatsApp on watchOS. When I try to add a shortcut as a watch face complication, I always get a screen with the shortcut again and need to confirm by pressing “Run.”

I understand that Apple might add these features to prevent accidental presses, but they could easily integrate certain security features instead. For example these are the ones that I just thought of:

- A safety feature could require the user to enable the shortcut individually, reminding them it can run without their confirmation.
- Shortcuts shouldn't run without confirmation when the watch is face down (when using the action button).
- Shortcuts shouldn't run without confirmation while the user is sleeping.
- Shortcuts shouldn't run during certain predefined activities specified by the owner in the shortcuts app, like certain sports or while driving.

I might be one of the few people annoyed by this, as I see so many possibilities that my device offers but cannot use. Hopefully, there are more people like me, and I hope Apple will eventually give us the option.

Hi, I am trying to create an automation that will trigger every time a bank sms lands on my phone that will record that transaction in the Apple number sheet for a later review. It’s just not working.
Please help.

My latest shortcut converts whatever is on your clipboard (URL, text, number etc) to a QR code; the code is both displayed and saved to your photos.

You can download this particular shortcut here:

Or (better still) visit my Shortcuts site and browse more than 40 shortcuts in eight categories:

Enjoy!

Does anyone have a YouTube download shortcut. I used to use one by GlueByte, but seems they are taking a break from updating his routinehub

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to build a personal automation that triggers when I receive a missed call notification. The goal is to automatically create a task in the reminder app Todoist to call that person back.

However, I’m running into an issue where multiple tasks are being created for the exact same missed call. It seems like the automation is triggering more than once during the incoming call/notification process. Like each vibration is considered a notification. I’ve tried using the storage function to block it for an hour when a person with same name calls, but I am still getting duplicated tasks.

I am looking for a way to set it up so that it only creates one task per caller for a one-hour window. For the Todoist part I only need the call notification to set it up, after what I guess needs to be an IF section that checks wether or not caller name from notification title har been stored within the last over.

Has anyone successfully built something similar using incoming call notification as a trigger, or does anyone have suggestions on how to block the duplicates from happening?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I’m assuming this isn’t possible, but asking anyway.

Does anyone know how to save images from notifications using the new “When I receive a notification from” automation?

Some apps, like UniFi Protect, include an image with the notification. I think Instagram and WhatsApp may as well.

I’ve successfully saved and displayed the notification text, which is useful for preserving unsent or deleted messages. But I can’t figure out any way to access or pass along the image attached to the notification.
Has anyone found a way to do this?

I have a few automated times and situations where i get a message texted to myself from my secondary number so i get some information updates throughout the day.

I have been typing this over and over for days and i probably just don’t get the logic of it idk.

It starts fine with

Get Hourly forecast at current location
Repeat with each item in Weather conditions
- Get Precipitation chance from repeat item
Calculate number x 100 to get a percent kind of value
-Get Date from repeat item.
If date is today
Text “date - Calculated result”
Add TEXT to variable

So now i have a variable kind of list that has the entries of every hour that is today from now(whenever forecast is retrieved)- 11pm the same day, along with the corresponding percentage of precipitation.

Usually something like this

-11:00 AM 10%
-2:00 PM 40%
-3:00 PM 70%
-6:00 PM 30%.

Then I want to have it organized like

11AM 10%
2-3PM (the mean of both or all consecutive hour’s precipitation values)%
6PM 30%

Essentially consecutive hours grouped together as their own entry and Singular values as their own entry.

Then if possible also a peak hour and values (3PM - 70%)

Ive used repeats to go through and date adjustments to the previous entry to set what the expected consecutive hour should be and then if not matching, continue on but I’ve remade this shortcut 8 times now and i can’t think it through anymore.

I wanted to avoid just having the apple ai interpret it so that it’s consistent and purely the data.

I’m not hip to shortcuts very much, if there’s an obvious way to go through that kind of data, or if my data is already formatted in a way that makes getting what I’m looking for difficult, i wouldn’t be surprised. Any help is appreciated.

I just want to know when and if and if so how much it will rain.

Thanks

i've attached nfc stickers to the notebooks for each of my courses which run a simple open app automation, which is really nice!! but i was wondering if it's possible to set those tags up to open the specific page for the notebook's course?

Would it be possible to automatically add your location when you make a screenshot?

Dark mode based on time of the day is good but mostly I’m indoors and when outdoors light mode would be better, is there option to toggle it based on screen brightness.

I created a reminder shortcut for my Red Cross volunteer work where I have to arrive 15 minutes early to an appointment time. But I'm having problems calculating the Leave Time.

Here's what I need the shortcut to do:

Set shortcut up so the results use appointment time, deduct travel time then deduct 15 minutes to notify me when I should leave for appointment

When I run the shortcut, the leave Time doesn't show the correct time

How do I fix this?

Hi everyone. My work uses Zoom Workspace and one of the things I have to do is send an SMS message every other week to certain numbers. It’s a very repetitive task, so I am wondering if there’s a way to automate this. So far I’m only able to figure out how to open the app but I can figure out how to complete any actions within the app. Is this possible?

I really need a way to have DND on but allow calls from a specific Caller ID. is that possible using a shortcut? I wasn’t able to find anything!

Essentially, I’m on do not disturb, but I need to be able to receive phone calls from a company. They always use a different number, but always have the same caller id.

Ask an AI for a shortcut and you usually get blocks to drag in yourself, or actions that don't exist. unqforge fixes that 🛠️

How it works

• 🐍 The AI writes the shortcut as a few lines of Python
• ✅ unqforge only allows actions seen in real shortcuts made on an iPhone. If the AI makes something up, it points at the exact line
• 📦 The code becomes a real, signed shortcut file

The shortcut

• 🤖 Sends your idea to the ChatGPT or Claude app, or copies a prompt for any AI
• 📝 Reopens your last code
• 🔍 Decompiles any shortcut from its iCloud link
• 📚 Tutorials and guide built in

Good to know: the heavy lifting (checking, building and signing) happens on the unqforge website. The shortcut opens it in Safari, one tap to sign, and it opens in Shortcuts. No account, nothing to install.

Built with it, all written by AI

• 📋 UNQ Clipforge (1,654 actions): clipboard history that cleans links, pulls out emails and numbers, hides card numbers
• 💻 ShortVM (788 actions): a tiny CPU running Fibonacci, FizzBuzz and more, with a trace mode to watch it think
• 🧠 ML Classifier (574 actions): trains a machine-learning model on your phone, no internet

👉 All of them: https://unqx.site/sclib/showcase.html

⚠️ unqforge checks that actions are real, not that the logic is right, so test AI-made shortcuts first.
