For me, I have shortcuts on my Mac to change the wallpaper based on time of day (light or dark), but that’s it. I’d maybe be interested in using more if I could think of a good use case, so share yours, if you have one

    A few of my absolute essentials:

    • Open URI - what it says on the tin. So very helpful for all those times when a YouTube link opens in the browser.
    • Quick Look - also what it says on the tin. Invaluable for previews- I also recently discovered it can be used as an ephemeral markup button! Helpful for filling out bingos and immediately texting the result.
    • Fetch Image - helpful when trying to share “images” (that are actually image links - Discord especially likes to be annoying about this) to other apps. Just fetches the image and lets me share the actual image instead.
    • Stitch - a really budget version of the Tailor app. Usual workflow goes like, take a bunch of screenshots, crop them so they perfectly align vertically, share to Stitch and copy the result to clipboard :)

    I mostly use these shortcuts on iOS; on macOS, Preview does everything I need and more!
