Shortcuty is a native iOS app built for people who love automation. It combines a community hub for discovering and sharing shortcuts with a toolkit of custom shortcut actions that make your automations more powerful and flexible.


☁️ Cloud Variables

Store and edit values online that your shortcuts can fetch in real time with “Get Contents of URL.”

Example: a “Joke of the Day” shortcut can pull from a joke_of_the_day variable. Update the value in Shortcuty, and the shortcut instantly reflects the change.


🔄 Update Checking

Shortcuty
makes it easy to keep your shortcuts up to date.

Submit a shortcut once, and anyone who installs it can check for updates automatically. Each shortcut includes a Download Links menu with ready-to-use endpoints for update checking — no extra setup required.


🤖 Ask OpenAI
Shortcuty connects your shortcuts to GPT-5 or GPT-4o (with your own API key).
  • Conversation History – enable continuous, context-aware chats by pairing with the Manage Conversation action.
  • Web Search Toggle – lets the AI fill gaps with real-time web results before responding.
⚡ Additional Actions
  • Web Search – Instantly fetch the top 10 results for any query (no API key needed).
  • Variable Storage – Save data locally in UserDefaults or Keychain to reuse across runs.
  • Manage Conversation – Store and reload AI conversations to enable multi-turn context.
  • Shortcut Storage – View and delete everything your shortcuts have saved in one place.
Shortcuty is both a sharing platform and a toolbox. You can explore the hub to find new shortcuts, or build your own self updating, enhanced shortcuts using Shortcuty custom actions and API’s.
