		Additional actions for the Shortcuts app

	


	


	


	





The app provides lots of powerful extra actions for the Shortcuts app on macOS, iOS, and visionOS. These actions make it significantly easier to create shortcuts.

## Where is the source code?



The app is no longer open-source. Despite initial hopes for community collaboration, the project received minimal contributions while facing challenges with App Store clones. The effort required to maintain it as open-source outweighed the benefits.



Rest assured, the app remains free, actively developed, and committed to providing powerful Shortcuts actions through regular updates. I will continue using GitHub issues for action requests and bug reports.
