I'm happy to announce the biggest update yet for my contextual #macOS Shortcuts launcher, BarCuts. Productivity Frens, let me tell you: It's a banger!

This update adds a new floating panel to #Shortcuts for linking ("tagging") apps to workflows (before, we used a special Shortcuts action for that). You still define which workflows you want to have available in what app – but it's so much nicer now! 🚀

Custom UIs in Shortcuts! Yay or nay? 👀

I’ve wanted to build UIs in Shortcuts for a while and with the new interactive snippets, it feels more relevant than ever.

So I finally prototyped an app to do it 😃

Here’s a demo shortcut that shows pollen levels in a snippet. #WWDC25

Whelp! Here we are in iOS26 Beta and I still can’t add shortcuts to Control Center or the Lock Screen. This bug has been present since about 18.0 Beta 2. Folks from the #shortcuts team reached out to me in regards, I provided the info and data they asked for and never heard back from them. This had to be at least 6 months ago. Just a shame that I’d have to do a hard reset and add each shortcut one by one to see which causes the issue. I have over 600. 😩
