Description

Supercharge your shortcuts with lots of useful actions.

It provides additional actions for the Shortcuts app.

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.

11/10 - An Amazing App for Anyone Needing Additional Shortcut’s Actions!

Though Actions is very similar to Toolbox Pro, there are numerous Actions available that Toolbox Pro doesn’t have, so if you’re someone who has seen this and ignored it due to that fact then I’d highly suggest giving it an opportunity! One Major difference of the two, currently, seems to be that unlike Toolbox Pro, Actions has an Active Developer that is consistently updating the app with bug fixes and loads of additional actions while Toolbox Pro’s Developer has begun to focus on their other apps/projects, which is understandable though still a tad disappointing…

Personally, though, I know I’ve got high hopes for this App and it’s Developer(s)! I’ll definitely be in contact soon to suggest some of my ideas for additional actions!

Thanks a Bunch for this App and Keep Up the Fantastic Work!

Actions for Shortcuts app gets better & better!

I have used the Actions app for several years now and with at ~300 shortcuts, I have found the app to be outstanding and the developer phenomenal. The app fills in needed actions and versatility where Apple’s Shortcuts app is lacking. Sindre Sorhus has impressed me with quick responses to the few issues that I have had over the years and the issue are usually fixed in a week or less, unlike Apple’s time frames of months to 2 years. I honestly don’t know how he does it all and he offers the Actions app for FREE!
