  • New to iOS but here's a nice Quick Action Menu for your action button
    18 comments • reddit.com

    Hey y’all. I came from using Android and I used Shortcuts to add some of the quick actions I missed on my phone using the side panel. I made this simple shortcut which can open apps or allow you to quickly do device actions without leaving the screen you’re on. Just add these two shortcuts and you’ll be good to go. Simple but effective

    Quick app main menu:

    Quick Setting shortcut

    I know it’s not the most complex but hopefully y’all find some value in this

  • AI Summarize YouTube Video
    17 comments • reddit.com

    Sometimes I see a YouTube video that I might want to watch, but the length is too long and I just need the gist. This shortcut grabs a YouTube URL from your share sheet (or from your clipboard) and uses summarize.tech to generate an AI summary of a YouTube video. There is a limit to how many YouTube videos you can summarize per day unless you have a paid account, but I use the free account and don’t summarize that many YouTube videos.

  • How to receive a random definition daily at 8am on my iPhone
    10 comments • reddit.com

    Hi everyone,

    I’m trying to set up something fun on my iPhone and could use some help. I have a text file with a bunch of definitions, and I’d love to get a random one sent to me as a notification every morning at 8 AM. Here’s what I’m working with:

    •	The File: I’ve got a file called definitions.txt stored in my iCloud Drive, specifically in the “Downloads” folder. Each definition is on its own line.
•	What I Want: Every morning at 8 AM, I want my phone to send me a notification with one of these definitions chosen randomly.

    Here’s What I Think Needs to Happen:

    1.	Get the File: I need to figure out how to make the Shortcuts app access my file from iCloud Drive.
2.	Read and Split: I want to read the whole file and then split it into individual definitions using the newline character.
3.	Pick One at Random: From this list, I need the shortcut to randomly select one definition.
4.	Send a Notification: Finally, it should send me a notification with the selected definition.

    Where I’m …
