Shortcuts can send data to OpenAI or other LLMs, https://www.innoq.com/en/blog/2023/03/openai-gpt-on-macos-io...

Converting pdfs scanned with the builtin Files document scanner to jpegs or pngs has been the most helpful so far

I use it daily to turn my iOS device to low power when I use a photo and video app - this little trick turns off HDR that I profoundly detest and can't visually stand for.

Makes me think of this old trick that raise the room temperature when you press space long enough.

Why not use it to automate turning low power back on any time it gets turned off?

It does both - On when this app runs and off again when out - Perfect setup for my poor little blue eyes

It is for me. Apparently you can’t turn on Wifi Hotspot on a single tap on iOS, or switch off Bluetooth or Wifi completely on iOS so a few shortcuts to do these in control center it is.

I’ve built a lot of small little things with shortcuts, but the only thing I still use is one I made to change my background/lock screen to a random photo from an album. I set it to run every morning so I wake up to a new photo. I shared the album with my partner too so they can add photos to the rotation. It’s small but I love it!

I also made a shortcut that lives on my home screen to open a notes page for today, creating a new one if it doesn’t exist already. That one would be more used if I could ever get a journaling habit to stick.

It’s certainly very limited and suffers a lot from a poor interface, but I don’t think people give it enough credit.
