Matthew CassinelliToday is my birthday! 🎂
To celebrate, I want to see how/if you use Apple’s Shortcuts app.
Post your favorite shortcut – or, what they need to add to the app to get you to use it more often.
Thanks 🤓
Ben Collins@matthewcassinelli My favorite Shortcut is for taking a sceenshot of my stepson's work calendar every week and updating our family's shared calendar. Here is the outline:
Takes an image as input from the Share Sheet.
Auto-crops it to remove excess stuff.
Feeds the cropped image to Apple Intelligence's Cloud model to find the work schedule which is returned in a JSON format.
Loop through the JSON and create an event for either "Off" or "Works from X to Y" plus a reminder to "clock out".
@bencollins this is cool! Have you ever written it up or shared it anywhere?
@matthewcassinelli I have not because it is so custom. But I could post some screen shots I guess since I don't have a blog or website to post them to.
@matthewcassinelli I made a copy and removed all of the code that loops through the JSON and builds the calendar events. Here are some screenshots of the sample project that does most of the interesting stuff.
And here is an iCloud link to the Shortcut itself:

@matthewcassinelli And by the way, happy birthday!
