Welcome to my Shortcuts Library!
Check out the collection below to get started with Shortcuts — there are over 700 total across the free and members-only collections.
All shortcuts
Browse the latest shortcuts available for free or members-only.
Free shortcuts are easier to understand, solve a simple use case, or ideas that everyone should have in their collection.
Members-only shortcuts are more complex, solve specific use cases very well, and represent my unique ideas.
In general, an entire folder of shortcuts are either all free or all members-only — except the bundle shortcuts available on each page.
Members-only shortcuts

Presents a list of pre-programmed Search options, then searches for the chosen text in the Journal app.
Search my Journal entries

Create Journal entry
Prompts you to add enter text, then uses that text to create a simple entry in the Journal app.

Create photo entry
Asks you to select an image from Photos or Files, then some associated text, then attaches it to a new entry in the Journal app.
