Shortery adds the missing automation tools to macOS Monterey. With Shortery you can run Shortcuts automatically, that you've created in the Shortcuts app using different triggers: App Launch / Quit, Time, Wake Up & Sleep, Login, Keyboard, Appearance, Power
The motivation behind Shortery was, that I (as many others) realized, that there is no "automation" tab in the macOS Shortcuts app.
So the only way to run Shortcuts on the Mac was to manually trigger them.
I wanted to run Shortcuts every morning when starting to work or when my battery power went down to 20% and and and…
Shortery currently offers these options to trigger a Shortcut automatically:
* Application Launch & Quit
Run a Shortcut when you start or quit an app.
* Time
Set a time when the Shortcut should run and define how often it should be repeated.
* Wake Up & Sleep
Run Shortcuts before your Mac goes to sleep or after it wakes up.
* Login & Logout
How about your Mac greeting you in the morning and telling you about your current day? Use the Login-Trigger to get your day started.
* Keyboard
Need direct access to a Shortcut? Define a global hotkey and trigger it from any app.
* Appearance
Run a Shortcut when your Mac changes from dark to light mode or light to dark mode.
* Power
Run Shortcuts when you plug in a power adapter or your battery capacity runs low.
If you have good use for Shortery, an idea for more triggers, let me know!
Hi Lars, this has been working wonderfully for me but since I upgraded to the latest Monterey version (12.1) it constantly crashes. Do you plan on a fix and do you need any of my logs to solve it? Thank you.
It is now saying "No Shortcuts found. You either don't have any shortcuts in the Shortcuts app or you denied Shortery access to Shortcuts. Please check the state in: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Automation > Shortery > Shortcuts."
I have already allowed access for Shortery.
