Besides the obvious controlling of smart home devices, I was curious what else could be done with the shortcuts widget to make it truly useful day to day.
Heres what I have for now, cant wait to see your creative minds came up with!
after a few days and some tweaking here are my highlights on it.

- Safari and other apps seems to launch faster from shortcut because the animation is different. Its also my only shortcut that doesn’t bring up a “choice menu” just opens safari. Quick and easy.
- As a music lover i was able to create a shortcut for quickly managing my music, starts playlists, add playlist, Shazam and few others as you can see in the screenshots below.
- I uncluttered my homescreen by merging all my mapping apps, photo apps and wellbeing app under 1 button. No more folders.
- because there is isnt an app for everything, the ability to set some of these commands to open urls in safari came in very handy.
- Another handy shortcut I used within my budget shortcut is the ability to open a spreadsheet directly rather than just launching the apps when using numbers.
- I should make it clear that all of these can be done fairly easy with some basic understanding of the shortcut apps and some try and error, i’m a beginner.
