Obsidian as an Independent Read-It-Later Solution

Tired of los­ing your saved links when read-it-lat­er apps like #pock­et shut down? I built my own solu­tion using #Obsid­i­an, #Apple Short­cuts #Actions­ForOb­sid­i­an & a bit of CSS. All book­marks are local, flex­i­ble, and ful­ly in your con­trol!

Huge shoutout to @amerpie for his very, very positive review of my contextual #Shortcuts launcher #BarCuts. I'm positively blushing 🙏🏼

Lou is a prolific app reviewer (macOS), think of any app, and chances are he gave it a spin and wrote about it. His blog is a good resource for finding new things, is what I'm saying

My man @leif penned a super-detailed review of my contextual #macOS #Shortcuts launcher, BarCuts – including the new #Raycast and #Alfred functionality! It's so thorough I might link it from the official docs…

BarCuts – Faster, Context-Based Access to Shortcuts in macOS - dit und dat

This is ingenious! Love it

> Safari can do it out of the box, but unfortunately #Chrome and #Firefox can’t: sharing websites via #AirDrop. With a simple #Apple shortcut, it will work from any browser, and with the #BarCuts app, it’s even more comfortable. Here I’ll show you how it works.

How to Share URLs from Chrome & Firefox via AirDrop - dit und dat

#Bar­Cuts, the lat­est app from @zottmann.dev, brings con­text and clar­i­ty to the Apple Short­cuts menu on the Mac! Work­flows only appear when they make sense. CLI, #Alfred & #Ray­cast are sup­port­ed. A must-have for all automa­tion enthu­si­asts!

BarCuts – Faster, Context-Based Access to Shortcuts in macOS - dit und dat

Whoa! @leif hat ein super-umfassendes Review zu meinem kontext-basierten #macOS-Kurzbefehle-Launcher #BarCuts geschrieben! Das sollte ich vielleicht sogar von der Doku aus verlinken 😉

Danke, Leif!

BarCuts – Schneller, kontextbasierter Zugriff auf Kurzbefehle in macOS - dit und dat

Safari kann’s von Haus aus, Chrome und Firefox leider nicht: Webseiten per AirDrop teilen. Mit einem einfachen Apple-Kurzbefehl funktioniert es von jedem Browser und der App BarCuts geht es noch komfortabler. Hier zeige, wie’s geht.

Es ist so einfach 🙂

Ich bin immer wieder begeistert, wie einfach sich kleine, nervige Alltagsprobleme mit Apple Kurzbefehlen lösen lassen. Schon lange […]

#Alfred workflow for #BarCuts 2025.2 created and waiting for release (by me)

Alfred's DIY process is much nicer than #Raycast's "wait for review", for sure. Especially since you can just push a new version to your server w/o having to go through another review by the Raycast people.

Also I had to learn that as a non-dev user, you can't easily sideload Raycast extensions? Gatekeeping much?
