Description
ShareBot is the missing Share Extension for Shortcuts on macOS. It allows you to run any of your shortcuts on items like files, URLs or text shared from any app with share menu support like Finder, Safari, Twitter or Chrome.
Notes:
• When you select the ShareBot extension in a share menu, ShareBot will run a shortcut named “Run Shortcut” that will read the contents shared by the ShareBot extension and forward them to other shortcut of your choosing.
• You can easily install and customize the “Run Shortcut” shortcut from the ShareBot app.
• You can enable the ShareBot extension from the “Extensions” pane at “System Preferences”.
• ShareBot requires Automation permission to list and run you shortcuts. You can gran Automation permission for ShareBot in the “Privacy” section of the “Security & Privacy” panel at “System Preferences”.
Privacy by Design: ShareBot works completely on-device and does not store or send any information outside of the protected app sandbox.
What’s New
Version 1.1
• Added support for showing shortcuts text output with QuickLook.
Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic utility that should be built in
Does what it says on the tin, allows you to run shortcuts from any share sheet on the Mac rather than the limited selection that Apple makes available. If you use shortcuts you need this app!
Bought For Safari - Didn't Work
I'm sure the app does what it says, but there should be a warning in the description that it can't run shortcuts inside of Safari (like ones that run javascript in the browser, i.e. Unpaywall). My unpaywall shortcut works fine still on my iPhone, but not on mac through this app. I suspect that's a shortcoming of Apple's implementation of Shortcuts on Mac unfortunately. I hope one day this can actually work with that.
Good idea, but...
Minimal support, no real developer website. And no manual or Help functionality to speak of.
Tried in vain, for example, to use it to pass images to Anybox...and got nothing but garbage data, no matter how I manipulated the arguments. It seems to do best when it's nothing more than a Shortcut trigger, with no arguments or parameters to pass. Which really limits its usefulness, IMO.
