  6. @BasementDweller3000 Not worth it IMO. With #ShortcutsApp on #macOS you can run shell scripts, which gives access to as many programming languages as you want.

    Can the #JavaScript version do the same as #AppleScript? Yes in theory, but the lack of documentation makes it impractical. And there are less and less AppleScript-supporting apps.

    Nowadays if I need AppleScript is for some tiny detail and I just ask an LLM for it.

  11. Is AppleScript still worth learning in 2026? Shortcuts.app on the Mac I'm finding to be rather limited. I know Shortcuts can be augmented with AppleScript, but it can also run JavaScript too. Can JavaScript in this context do everything AppleScript can do? #Apple #Shortcuts #ShortcutsApp #AppleScript #mac

  16. @simonbs I’ve been using ntfy.sh/ for that. Via web in desktop (Windows) and via app in #iOS/iPadOS. Trivial to use with #ShortcutsApp.

  21. @bekz, not natively, but the #aShell mini app has excellent #ShortcutsApp support and includes the #ffmpeg tool, which can do that and much more.

  25. 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:

    icloud.com/shortcuts/7562e6c15

    It includes the newly found “Search Shortcuts action for…” action so you can copy and paste it in YOUR #shortcuts 🙂

    (*) See reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comment

  30. 13 mind-blowing iOS 26 shortcuts with Apple Intelligence

    Shortcuts are more innovative than ever in iOS 26, thanks to Apple Intelligence. They now support LLM-based actions…

  31. P.P.S. The command syntax above is for Windows (that's the reason for the "^" before "(" and ")". Omit them if you want to run it in macOS (or Linux or UNIX)

    BTW, #ImageMagick is available in the #ShortcutsApp via @nholzschuch's #aShell mini app
    apps.apple.com/app/id1543537943
    so this can also be done in #iOS and #iPadOS using a #shortcut 🙂

  36. @hacksilon Hi. I’m curious: did you try using a “Repeat with each” action with your #shortcut input?

    Also, just in case it’s related, “Calculate” uses the system decimal delimiter (comma in Spain and Germany) but “Calculate expression” only works with a decimal point.

    And yeah, it’s frustrating to see the potential of the #ShortcutsApp ruined by so… many… bugs. 😥

  49. @gedeonm Try the #ShortcutsApp. At some window widths (like 50% of an iPad Pro 12.9”!) the editor hides the fracking button to run the #shortcut 🤬
