What you get

You can turn repeated Mac tasks into a single click or keyboard shortcut.

You get more ways to automate work that normally involves copying text, navigating menus, or changing settings. Shortcutie adds over 70 actions to Shortcuts, so you can build workflows that handle several steps with one click or keyboard shortcut.

You can highlight text and pass it into a shortcut for translation, send it to ChatGPT, or use it in another task without manually copying and pasting between apps. You can also trigger app menu commands directly, putting actions such as exporting a PDF or clearing browser caches within reach of a keyboard shortcut.

Your browser work and home-to-office routine can take fewer manual steps, too. You can collect the current tab’s URL, run JavaScript on a page, or open multiple links in private windows. With workflows you configure around context such as your Wi-Fi network or time of day, you can switch audio output and your preferred browser to match where you’re working.

  • Less copying between apps

    You can pass selected text straight into a shortcut for translation, ChatGPT, or another task.

  • Fewer trips through menus

    You can trigger buried app commands with a shortcut instead of navigating menus each time.

  • Less repetitive browser work

    You can collect tab URLs, run page JavaScript, or open multiple links in private windows through your workflows.

  • Settings that match your location

    You can configure workflows to switch audio output and your preferred browser based on your Wi-Fi network.

Best for

  • You already use Shortcuts and need actions it doesn’t include
  • You repeatedly move selected text between apps
  • You change audio and browser settings between home and work

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you rarely repeat tasks or your existing Shortcuts actions already cover your workflows.
