Loccali: for Shortcuts
Use local variables as GLOBAL
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Give Shortcuts memory. Store global variables, sync with iCloud, and automate across sessions.
Make your local variables global — across Shortcuts, devices, and time.
Loccali gives Apple Shortcuts the one thing it's missing: persistent, global storage. With Loccali, you can store data that survives between runs, across automations, and even across devices — without resorting to workarounds or iCloud Drive hacks.
What It Does:
- Store key-value data outside of individual shortcuts
- Retrieve or update that data from any shortcut
- Sync variables via iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Store more complex data types (arrays, locations, dates, files)
Free Version Includes:
- Store up to 10 variables
- Supports Text (up to 256 characters), Booleans, and Positive Integers
- Instant Shortcuts integration via native actions
- Clean, simple UI for direct variable management
Pro Unlocks:
- Unlimited variables
- Full support for:
- Text (no limit)
- Integers & Decimals (positive and negative)
- Arrays (e.g., JSON-style lists)
- Dates and Locations
- Files (store and retrieve files via Shortcuts)
- More flexibility for serious automation workflows
Available as:
- Monthly auto-renewable subscription
- Yearly auto-renewable subscription (best value per month)
- One-time lifetime unlock
Already bought Pro? You're set — your original purchase keeps unlocking the full Pro feature set you paid for, forever, no subscription required.
Privacy:
- Your variables stay on your device and in your private iCloud — never uploaded to our servers
- Anonymous usage analytics and crash diagnostics via Firebase to help us fix bugs
- Free tier shows a rewarded ad when you reach the daily action cap (iPhone and iPad only — Mac is ad-free)
- Pro removes ads entirely

Who This Is For:
- Automation enthusiasts
- Shortcuts power users
- Developers who want real persistence across Shortcuts
- Anyone who's hit the limits of "magic variables" or built clunky workarounds
Note: "Magic variables" are Shortcuts' built-in auto-generated values — they're convenient but temporary. Loccali gives you real, persistent ones.
Loccali is not for everyone — but if you know what a global variable is, this is probably for you.
No noise. Just clean, script-free state management for your Shortcuts.
If you use Shortcuts seriously, this belongs in your toolbox.

Ratings & Reviews
Fixes and cross-device polish.
• A calmer launch — fixed the celebration and welcome screen appearing on every launch for some users; they now show only when there's actually something new to celebrate.
• Daily limit in sync — your free daily action limit now stays in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud.
• What's New, fixed — the What's New screen now opens properly from Settings and About.
