About Actions

Supercharge your shortcuts with lots of useful actions.

It provides additional actions for the Shortcuts app.



IMPORTANT: Because of an iOS bug, to make the actions show up in the Shortcuts app, you need to first launch the app and then restart your device.

重要提示:由于 iOS 错误,要使操作显示在“快捷方式”应用程序中,您需要先启动该应用程序,然后重新启动设备。

WICHTIG: Aufgrund eines iOS-Fehlers müssen Sie, damit die Aktionen in der Shortcuts-App angezeigt werden, zuerst die App starten und dann Ihr Gerät neu starten.

IMPORTANT : en raison d'un bug iOS, pour que les actions s'affichent dans l'application Raccourcis, vous devez d'abord lancer l'application, puis redémarrer votre appareil.

IMPORTANTE: Debido a un error de iOS, para que las acciones aparezcan en la aplicación Atajos, primero debe iniciar la aplicación y luego reiniciar su dispositivo.



The actions are not able to run on Apple Watch or HomePod.

Restart your device if the actions don't show up in the Shortcuts app.

The app is free without ads because I love making apps. Consider leaving a nice review.
