News to shortcuts so wanted to get some inspiration…
What’s your top 5 (most useful, couldn’t live without) shortcuts
NOTE: I’m Dutch so yes I can share some of these so you can try to recreate it to your liking and or reverse engineer them. But know that a lot of text will be Dutch!
Edit: I’m open to new challenging ideas.
Personal assistant for answering messages if my focus mode is on.
Barcode scanner for building own database of products and their expiration date, with notice that it will expire, if expires within a week. + adding to shopping cart and show list when in supermarket.
Automated Cooking agenda, based on callories and protein per person in the household. With shopping list and cooking instructions.
Automated driven km calculator for private and business kilometers, with total for when at gas pumpstations.
Automatic check-in and out at company’s I work at and written to excel sheet.
Shortcut for setting a alarm if next day is a work day, setting sleep mode on or off and silent on or off for phone and watch. Everytime I plug my phone in or out and my phone is connected to …

The Sleep Time Calculator applies scientific principles related to sleep cycles and duration for optimal bedtimes and wake-up times. The sleep cycle is divided into several stages: light sleep, deep sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Sleep cycles typically last around 90 minutes, and a typical night’s sleep consists of several cycles. The goal of the calculator is to suggest times to wake up at the end of a cycle feeling refreshed, rather groggy.
For more in-depth sleep information, visit Sleepopolis (the inspiration behind this shortcut).
ANOTHER COOL FEATURE: Not shown in the demo screenshots, but the shortcut will also prompt you to auto-set an alarm for one of the recommended times, if you choose to do so.

TLDR: Use back taps to show a temporary screenshot for copying/translating text, without saving the screenshot to your phone hence save storage.

This simple shortcut is incredibly handy for anyone who’s ever needed to copy or translate text directly from their iPhone screen. Sometimes, apps don’t allow you to copy text from certain elements, or they insist you copy an entire post/comment/message when you only want a part of it (maybe just one or a few sentences). This shortcut is the solution to that problem. It lets you quickly take a screenshot that pops up in a Quick Look window.
This screenshot is immediately available for you to use as needed, without saving it to your phone. You can effortlessly copy any text or translate the entire text area right from this temporary snapshot. The shortcut is easily triggered with a convenient back tap—either 2 or 3, based on your preference.

I’ve been desperately struggling with time management due to ADHD time blindness for as long as I can remember (if I can’t see it in front of me, it doesn’t exist). Despite my efforts, punctuality has been a persistent battle, but I’ve found using widgets, apps, and shortcuts can be super helpful, so I’d love to get some recommendations!
One win for me has been the “Calendars” app. Its widget shows an hour/minute countdown until my next event, which has helped me stay aware and prepare accordingly. However, I would love to see when I need to leave by in order to NOT be late.
What I’m looking for are apps, shortcuts, or automations that can help me.
It would be huge to find a widget for upcoming bills with a user-friendly interface (I don’t like Chronicle’s UI).
Widgets on my phone have been a big help, and I’m totally up for trying out your suggestions. Got any life hacks or tools that you love? Share them with me, PLEASE!!!
Thanks a ton!
I’d really like to start waking up and getting after it at 7am each morning. I know there’s options to create a shortcut where, if you snooze your alarm, you send out an embarrassing tweet or something similar.
The thing is, what’s stopping me from not snoozing, but rather from just stopping my alarm and setting a new one for 10 minutes later? Or more realistically 30 minutes later? Which I do. Frequently.
What I really need is a method to ensure that once the initial alarm sounds, I’m immediately engaged and out of bed. One idea I had was to set up a rule that if, by 7:05 am, I haven’t recorded a 3-minute voice memo of my morning thoughts, then the embarrassing tweet gets sent. This gives me a few minutes to transition into wakefulness.
Alternatively, I thought about a rule that if, by 7:10 am, I haven’t written at least 75 words on any topic, the tweet would be triggered. I’m new to using the shortcuts app and open to suggestions.
The objective here is to …
That people probably haven’t heard of before.
In case anyone is not aware, Who Trolled Amber? is an investigative podcast series produced by Tortoise Media. It looks into the unprecedented massive global online campaign against Amber Heard before and during the Depp v. Heard trial to find out if, and to what extent, this campaign was initiated and propagated by bots and trolls linked to Depp and his team. The first two episodes provided damning evidence for this campaign but this third episode provides more evidence that is as irrefutable as it is shocking. It reveals a multi-national coordinated bot and troll campaign that was initiated within a week after Johnny Depp lost the Depp v. NGN trial in 2020 and which included at least one account that was previously involved in spreading right-wing propaganda in Chilean politics.
Like so many people, I was unwillingly pulled into the Depp v. Heard trial by being bombarded with pro-Depp and anti-Amber YouTube clips during the trial. It was all so weird and confusing because …
Hey guys I’m looking for the Best alternative and it’s a bonus if its minimalistic and simple looking Thanks!
I love morbid things and true crime. Especially learning about really bizarre cases. And media, pop culture. Sociology, psychology, movie deep dives. I love learning about strange things we wouldn’t typically know or lore so to speak. The more eerie the subject matter the better
Hopefully something that will stick with me and send me trenches deep into a rabbit hole
Sorry for the depressing title but I don’t know how to describe it. I want to listen to a podcast about people who are mad at the world like I am. I’m not talking about war, just everyday stuff, it doesn’t even have to be relatable. Is there a podcast that acknowledges that everyone is going through something?
Any recommendations for investigative podcasts that are not necessarily true crime? I am not particularly fond of stories with graphic depictions of violence.
Podcasts I liked in this genre and recommend: - The Missing Crypto Queen (goat - One Coin Crypto Scam), - The Lazarus Heist (also goat - major cases of hacking), - I am not a Monster (goat too imho - western-born women who left for ISIS), - Pig Iron (freelance journalist death), - Havana Syndrome (series of mysterious health problems related to sound/frequency), - WeCrashed (WeWork failure), - The Dropout (Theranos), - Orgasm Cult (One Taste), - The Fall of Sam Bankman Fried, - The Retrievals (really good, but tough one), - Hoaxed, - One Click (weight loss drug danger), - Hooked (very good - wild story about Boeing engineer turned bank robber), - Who killed Daphne (journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia murder on Malta), - Phoebe’s Fall (mysterious death of young girl falling into garbage chute), - The Agent (ex KGB agent operating …
I finally read The Diary of A Young Girl by Anne Frank at the ripe age of 37. I now know why her diary is so famous and impactful. Not just because of it being an intimate account of a Jewish family in hiding during the Holocaust, but also her incredible insights, her brilliance and her thoughtfulness at SUCH a young age.
What books, fiction or nonfiction, should be must-reads for humanity, and why?
Edit: Don’t take this so literally guys, the title of my post is hyperbole. I’m not saying we should judge people who haven’t read certain books. I’m asking for books that are important to you personally, had a profound impact on you, or you think are important to society, history, art, science, etc.
Which is a book that you feel like you could read and reread and never get tired of? The one you always find captivating and entertaining no matter how many times you read it, that always feels fresh to you.
That one book you want everyone to read because it’s the best fiction. Ever.
Ps. Please also mention level of difficulty to read. I am okay with complexity but too difficult language is sometimes tough.
I love my 7 book fantasy series where the shortest book is 650 pages……but I also greatly enjoy short, fun, maybe even “cozy” books that don’t require learning a new world full of people.
Any genre, any style, whatever you got, I would love to read it :) Thank you!
Edit: You all are amazing! Thank you so much for this wealth of reading :) I can’t wait to start these.
Looking for a book that took an emotional toll on you - something sad but not to the point where every page is misery. Ideally a book that is hopeful but heartbreaking and left you thinking about it long after you were done. Thanks!
Hi guys. I am going on a month-long cruise without internet and would like to use this period to read, read, and read. Could you give me suggestions for books? Purposely not specifying a genre or field; anything is greatly welcomed—I want to expand my horizons! Thank you so much!
Basically what game out there makes you so immersed, or not want to get off after you get into it, where you wouldn’t want to even get on unless you had more than 4 hours to play in one sitting? There are many games where you cant play if you only have 30 minutes or an hour, but i mean games so addicting you dont even want to touch them unless you can game all day long
Did you ever lay a game not many have heard about and really enjoyed it? And it made you wonder why the game wasn’t more popular?
I really don’t want to play MMOs for this experience. The closest I got to this feeling in an offline game was Stardew Valley.
What other games are like this where you just do your thing everyday and maybe work towards goals slowly. Basically a second life.
Edit: Got way more suggestions than I expected. Thanks so much to everyone!
A pretty self-explanatory title,I am looking for a game to make me cry and I accept any type of games
maybe like additional content or critical bug fixes?
​
i start with:
Pro Evolution Soccer - mainly PES 6 (patches for the game still release regularly) and PES 2021 with season updates as well as more stadiums, scoreboards etc
​
AKI-wrestling games from the n64 (like wcw/nwo revenge or WWF No Mercy) with complete overhauls, hi-res-texture packs, original music integration or even move hacks.
Curious about those games you still think about even years after playing; the kind of game you wish you could experience again for the first time.
Maybe it hit you at just the right moment in your life. Maybe it’s a game that’s truly unlike anything else you’ve played. Maybe it does something familiar in a remarkable way.
Here are mine:
Pathologic 2 - Deeply unique premise, gameplay, and feel, but with familiar game conventions too (open world, survival, crafting/looting)
Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment - Some of the best writing and most original ideas in any media ever. Incredible storytelling.
Outer Wilds - A true sense of wonder, exploration, and mystery. Bonus points for being family friendly and making me (a diehard edgelord) love it.
Honorable mentions/runner-ups
Fear and Hunger 2; Blasphemous; Divinity: Original Sin 2; Tyranny

EDIT: Whoa! This blew up! I could write a dissertation on the variety and reasons of all these. I’m …
