Description
Now with support for writing to NFC Tags directly within the app.
** Only Works on iPhone. (7 or newer!) **
Ever wanted to automate your life with NFC (Near Field Communication) tags? Well now you can! Even if you have an iPhone 7 or X you can use this app to scan (or write to) any NFC tag and trigger a shortcut. NFC tags are also incredibly cheap now. It's that easy.
Some incredible use cases:
Put a NFC Tag on your television or Apple TV to turn it on, open a specific app, resume a show, play any song, playlist or podcast, or even turn it off.
Put a NFC Tag on your bedside table to set the alarm to ring at a specific time or for example 7 hours later or even just turn on Do not disturb automatically.
Put a NFC Tag on your speaker to automatically set the volume to 100% and play anything you want automatically.
Put a NFC Tag next to your cup and every time you fill it in, record it on your favorite water measurement app.
Put a NFC Tag on your iPhone Car holder so every time you place it there it'll for example start your favorite playlist, get directions to a specific place or even share an ETA.
Control your house. Mix NFC Tags, Siri Shortcuts and HomeKit
All of this and more just by holding your phone near the tag, just like if you were making a contactless payment.
How to?
Then just write the name of the shortcut you want to run on the NFC Tag and that's it. The app will take care of the rest!
And also, you can have as many shortcuts as you want triggered by a single NFC tag. The app will intelligently ask you which want you want to execute.
Includes Today Extension for quick launch.

Ratings and Reviews
It’s good for what it does
By clicking help it tells you what happens, The only problem is that you have to close the shortcuts and this app before scanning again. Even then, there’s a chance it just won’t scan.
Developer Response ,
Hello! After clicking the "Help" button you can just tap on the center of the screen (Where it says "Tap to Scan") to scan again! No need to close or reopen the app :)
Thank you!
Exactly as promised
We all already know that Apple choose to limit the NFC abilities of iphones 7 to X. So do not expect this app to fix those issues.
But it does provide a working bridge, that is quite easy to implement. I was able to write AirPods to a tag, scan it, and have a shortcut repair my airpods to my phone. I stick the NFC on the airpods, and it works well enough.
Great but
I can’t get this to run unless app is open help me
