Shortcuts entered our lives as successors to Workflow, that marvel that seemed doomed to be removed from the App Store and banned for life, yet ended up being bought out by Apple and integrating it natively.
Four years have passed since then and although the path they have taken may not be what we might have expected at the time, not least because they are too passive and wait for the user gets to work with them, yes, there are many ways to take advantage of shortcuts in iOS 16. Let’s see a few.
baby mango
An application designed for the care of a baby. A central point on which to keep track of all the indicators that we consider relevant or to which we want to pay particular attention.
By using shortcuts, we can speed up the introduction of certain types of information. For example, when he fell asleep, when he ate or even changed diapers. This will be overkill for some. If this is not your case and you are convinced by what she offers you, go for it.
Foodlapse
Want to improve your eating habits? If one of your pain points is a certain type of food you want to keep at bay, this app serves as a counter for the days you kept it under control.
With the shortcuts, in addition to its widgets, you can enter the relevant information, or read it, quickly; in fact, you won’t even need to open the app.
book track
Surely, if you read books, you’ll find it handy to have a way to keep track of the ones you’ve already finished, label them, write thoughts about them… That’s where it comes in. Book Track, which does just that.

And also, thanks to shortcuts, it allows you to do those book progress updates (something ideal for when we read on paper) or write down ideas in a faster and easier way.
game track
Exactly the same as the previous application, but geared towards video games. A space to keep track of what we play, rate them or share them.
And with shortcuts, quick ways to perform each of these actions.
Targeted work
For those with easily distracted attention, an app can be useful to help us focus, whether for work or study.
And that’s where this app comes in, which also does it by taking advantage of shortcuts to allow us to quickly start concentration sessions based on what we have predefined.
Package
An old acquaintance from the App Store that keeps updating quickly as soon as a new iOS offers new possibilities. This is the case with Shortcuts, since Parcel allows new ways to know the status of our shipments.
For example, it lets you directly ask Siri how the package you’re expecting is going and receive a response with its status, current location, or estimated delivery date.

GoodLinks
An application designed to store the links you want to keep for the long term (not like a simple reading list), categorize them and start working on them.
Thanks to the shortcuts, it not only allows them to be quickly introduced into the application, but also more versatile uses, such as exporting them in bulk, something potentially useful for handling a certain volume of information… Or sending them to the application which we use to read later.
MusicPort
Apple Music carece de una función que en el pasado quiso protagonizar: la gestión directa de nuestra colección en cuanto a artists y álbumes, descubrir próximos lanzamientos, estar al tanto de conciertos… Todo lo que rodea y lleva más allá la experiencia de escuchar Music.
MusicHarbor corrects this shortcoming, and with its integration with shortcuts, it allows us to use it quickly without even going through the application itself if we do not want it.
stoic.
One of the latest fads is Stoic philosophy, and this app promises to help us on the path to serenity and awareness. Who was going to tell Zenón de Citio that it could also be done via shortcuts.
Shortcuts to start one of your routines (morning or evening), diaries, breathing exercises, take a look at the quotes that can inspire us or open the register of emotions.
Score
An accountant. No matter. Like those with buttons. One click, add one. Supports multiple at the same time. And its main grace is that it allows shortcuts, which are differential in this type of application.
Fantastic
The Fantastical calendar app is also a very old acquaintance, which still remains one of the fastest and most versatile apps in its category when it comes to taking advantage of the possibilities of a new iOS.
With shortcuts it is possible to combine several variables to obtain practically what we want. There are so many options that even its developers give ideas.
Never use shortcuts. it definitely lacks some of what the Apple ecosystem allows. And although by their nature they are not the most comfortable and natural in some cases, we encourage you to explore the possibilities.
(function() { window._JS_MODULES = window._JS_MODULES || {}; var headElement = document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0]; if (_JS_MODULES.instagram) { var instagramScript = document.createElement(‘script’); instagramScript.src=”https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js”; instagramScript.async = true; instagramScript.defer = true; headElement.appendChild(instagramScript); } })();
