Working on an iPhone and Mac app that

1. Syncs data with CloudKit
2. That data is shown in widgets
3. And it can be edited from Shortcuts

The path of

editing in Shortcuts on device A → CloudKit → shown in the widget on device B

is soooo tough to get working properly.

@simonbs what if you added widgets to Brrr.

Potentially… Shortcuts sends to Brrr either through local or push notifications.

Not sure if it solves your intended use case. But I think it’d be pretty useful!

@emc You’ll like the app I’m working on.

@simonbs I do something like that on iPhone to/from iPad using the Rename Shortcuts action. I tap the renameable shortcut widget (which runs the main shortcut) to enter/check data, and then it renames the shortcut to reflect that enter/check. However, the rename doesn’t sync over to the widget instantly or consistently, so pushing that sync would be quite useful.
