Description

Smart Shortcuts, Widgets, and Notifications

Pushcut helps you kick off your automation when it matters. Create fine-tuned interactions for HomeKit, Shortcuts, and custom workflows through smart notifications and widgets combined with powerful automation actions.

Use HomeKit scenes, shortcuts, online integrations, and web services as notification actions that pop up exactly when they matter to you. Trigger these smart notifications from Shortcuts, HomeKit, schedules, locations, iBeacons, online services (like IFTTT, Zapier, Flow, Integromat, ...), home servers, or anywhere that knows what HTTP is.

Design beautiful custom widgets and display dynamic information that you can provide using Shortcuts actions, online services or our own API.

Ads are annoying

While I understand the need to "promote" the better package for pushcut, but the ads for "pro yearly" and "extended server" are blocking the app to start the server automatically.

What the purpose of having "start server automatically" and ios shortcuts function to start/restart the server if 1 out of 3 will be blocked by the ads?

Pushcut is used on older device, not new ones (otherwise ios17 will render this app almost useless since we can just use message automation). Older device means battery is not as good as it used to be, thus needs a trigger to start/restart the server to ensure the server is always up and running whenever we're away from home (I use charging as a trigger to restart the server, I use smart plugs).

Developer Response ,

Hi,
Sorry to hear the Change Server State shortcuts action isn't behaving as you would expect.
The Automation Server feature requires Pushcut Pro in order to function and certain features of the Automation Server (e.g. waiting for a long-running shortcut) require Server Extended. Unfortunately, we're not able to offer these features for free as we incur significant additional costs in providing them.

If you have a Pro monthly, yearly, or lifetime subscription and are still seeing these messages—or if you have any other questions—please do get into touch with us by emailing feedback@pushcut.io
