The traditional approach to digitizing physical materials (e.g., correspondences, notebooks, manuscripts written on typewriters, etc.) has involved the use of scanning tables and manual file organization – which are slow and laborious processes. However, computing technologies have improved so much in recent years that we decided to experiment with workflows that make use of modern devices and software tools. Popstar (_**P**h**o**ne-based **p**rocessing **s**of**t**ware for **ar**chives_) is one of the outcomes.\n\nPopstar is based on Apple iPhone and macOS software and services. Popstar consists of several [_Shortcuts_](https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/welcome/ios), a no-code automation development framework that works on iOS, iPadOS, iWatchOS, and macOS. We used Shortcuts to create workflows that perform scanning and filing of digital images.\n\nThis repository contains the Shortcuts that comprise Popstar, along with documentation about how they work and how to use them.\n\n\n## Installation and usage\n\nDocumentation for Popstar is available online at [https://caltechlibrary.github.io/popstar/](https://caltechlibrary.github.io/popstar/).\n\n\n## Getting Help\n\nIf you find an issue, please submit it in [the GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/caltechlibrary/popstar/issues) for this repository.\n\n## Contributing\n\nYour help and participation in enhancing Popstar is welcome!
