Why You Should Start Using the Shortcuts App on Mac

[@macvince]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊 You‘ll find the links to all mentioned shortcuts in the video description. Feel free to add them to your Shortcuts Library! Can‘t wait to hear from you in the comments!

[@SamH-fo2vm]

hey vince, nice video as always! I hope you can make a tutorial on how to preorder iPhone 15 pro max, that would be very helpful thanks!

[@TadGilliland]

Best one yet - useful info + great production = WIN!

[@superjunkies86]

I have learned more about my Mac from your videos than from any other website. The video editing is fantastic and the content is great. Very good work.

[@macvince]

I appreciate that - thank you for letting me know! 😊

[@Arthur9588]

Totaly agree with you!

[@arashmoini]

Mate your video editing is top notch! You get straight to the point and I love the way you present everything. Keep up the amazing work Vince!

[@macvince]

Thanks for your great feedback, Arash, I really appreciate that!

[@macvince]

Thank you so much - really motivating to read this!

[@TarateelQuraniyyah]

Amazing video and amazing editing as always! 2 questions: -Which editor do you use? -Could you do a video on the Arc browser? Thanks!

[@macvince]

Thank you so much! I edit all my videos using Final Cut! And to be honest, I haven‘t fully tested the Arc Browser yet, but I‘ll try to look into it!

[@KrishnaDraws]

I'm a long time Mac user but I find myself learning new things with each and every one of your videos. Excellent work, my friend.

[@macvince]

Great to hear and glad to help!! :) Thank you!

[@Werblyx]

You could have mentioned again in the end that all Shortcuts are in the description. Otherwise 10/10

[@macvince]

True, good point! Thank you!

[@theparents23]

The shortcuts you show are really useful. I wonder if shortcuts can be implemented in third-party apps, for example in Photoshop editing a batch of images with a always shortcut. I know the function exists inside Photoshop, I just brought the example

[@macvince]

Glad to hear that! And if you add a new shortcut, you can click on Apps in the Actions tab at the right. This will show you all the Mac apps that support shortcut actions, so you could implement those! Anything beyond these apps is (at least I don‘t think so) not possible… Hope this helps and thanks again for watching!

[@gear-wala-story]

Actual useful stuff! Ur videos are always a treat and the videos keep getting better and better! ❤

Amazing upload Mr Vince, Glad to see this one after the notes video. These are so useful. Have an amazing day Mr Vince.

[@macvince]

Super glad to hear that! 😊 You too have an amazing day, Ahmed!

[@flavio6325]

Is there any shortcut or automation that shows a minimum and maximum battery level? I used the AlDente app but it disconfigured the Mac several times. So, I'm trying to use the Shortcuts app to monitor the battery level, but I don't know how to create the variables that can notify when the battery has reached a minimum and maximum level. Could you make a video about this, teaching how to create this shortcut?

[@ZEN1TSUUUYT]

Ich feiere wirklich deine Videos. Ich kenne viele Sachen noch nicht und vor allem finde ich deinen Videostil so erfrischend! Die verschiedenen Perspektiven, Zooms und allgemein die Dynamik ist sehr gut. 👏 Bitte unbedingt weiter so!

Vielen, vielen Dank - das freut mich wirklich sehr zu hören 😊

[@pgrodriguez88]

There is no AUTOMATION section (iOS) on MacOS SONOMA?? Great video my friend!!! Excellent editing!!!

[@macvince]

No, still no Automation :( Thank you though!!

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Hello. A good video. Thanks. Can you make a video about using Keyboard Maestro? I’ve been using it for years and I think it is by far the best mac-app in terms of automation and productivity.

[@macvince]

Hey, thank you! To be honest, I've never actually used Keyboard Maestro, but I'll have a look and see if I can make a video about that.

[@sabremendes]

Nice video! I'm a long time windows user, getting my first ever mac this year and your videos are helping me a lot to understand how macOS works and how to improve productivity on it. I have watched a few of your videos already and I'm sure that, when my Mac arrives, I'll be able to make the best out of it. I also would like to add that the editing makes the videos even better.

[@farzadjahanfard]

I trust everything it says: made in Germany 👍🏼. Mate your videos are by far the best mac content you will hit 1 million in no time trust me 🤘🏼

[@macvince]

Haha thanks man, you‘re a legend 🙌 Thanks for always coming back and all the support!

[@kristianivanov36]

I'm sorry but the shortcuts app on MacOS is so advanced, nothing on Windows can come even close!

[@macvince]

Totally agree!

[@CraigSotelo]

Is there a way to create separate shortcuts for iPhone and Mac and not have them combined ? I would like to have shortcuts just for Mac and shortcuts just for iPhone

[@macvince]

Yes! You just have to disable iCloud syncing for the Shortcuts app on Mac. In the menubar, click Shortcuts and then go to Settings. Here, under General, you can uncheck iCloud Sync. Hope this helps!

[@KAPAMOH]

Thank you so much for the work you have done! I will learn so much from each of your videos about working with the Mac. Thank you!

The gallery of shortcuts does not work. "Can't connect to the Gallery."

[@macvince]

Sorry, just found out about the issue. All the links I‘ve shared don‘t seem to work. Contacted Apple Support - I‘ve now replaced the links - I hope they work now. Sorry again!

[@MichaelPetrus]

Hey. Great tips! HOWEVER, the links to the shortcuts are broken. All of them. :(

[@macvince]

Hey thank you! That‘s really annoying, I had some issues with the links, contacted Apple Support, they had no way to fix it. For me and many others they are now working, I‘ve heard that reloading the website a few times would help. I’m really sorry about that, it‘s really really frustrating. I might include a PDF document in the description with each shortcut‘s action list, to easily replicate it.

[@MichaelPetrus]

It still hasn’t the automation feature like the iPhone and iPad. I only use the shortcuts app for automation. If or when Macs get it I will use the shortcuts app.

[@macvince]

Sure, understandable. I think there's an app that can kind of enable automations on Mac (Shortery), but I've never tried it out.

[@kd250712]

hey how do i make a shortcut where whenever i connect a bluetooth device it open the sound preferences from the setting

[@macvince]

Sadly, this would require an automation which only works on iOS and iPadOS, not on Mac… But there‘s an app called Shortery which I found in the App Store and I heard it brings Automations to Shortcuts on Mac, but I didn‘t try it yet. Maybe this one can solve your problem!

Great video as always! Are you running Ventura or Sonoma? I just set up my iPad home screen with some short cut widgets on the home screen. Just wondering with the advent of home screen widgets in Sonoma if we will be able to add shortcuts as widgets to the home screen in Sonoma.

Hey! I‘m already running Sonoma. True, adding them to the desktop is great! You can do that with macOS Sonoma. From 4:24 on you can see how, and also how to customize the shortcuts you see there. Thanks for watching!

hey bud, how do i get rss link of my desired website? super useful video btw

[@macvince]

Hey man! Thank you, glad I could help! Not every website supports RSS, but most news websites do. You‘ll frequently find it by Googling the website‘s name + RSS. If they don‘t support RSS, I can still recommend apps like Feedly (which I use every single day and is super minimalistic, the free version is definitely enough) and there you can very often just add the website link.
