1 year agoYes, on iPhone only, though. I like that you can schedule them to run at certain times which is super helpful with home automation. As a former jailbreaker, I used to miss Activator but Shortcuts does everything I need.
A few good ones:
- “I’m being pulled over” will start recording video and stream it as well as text contacts your location. The ACLU put this one out in 2020.
- “On my way” will calculate my driving time to home, pad it by a few minutes for stoplights, and text it to my wife.
- I have a HomeKit garage door opener/sensor. I have a shortcut that runs at 9pm and texts me and my wife if any of the doors are still open and displays a prompt to close them.
Refactoring, without test coverage, in a nutshell.
Definitely adding this one to the dev guidelines on unit and integration tests. 👍🏼
