My iOS Shortcuts

Clipboard

Clipboard Manager that uses the iOS Files app to store clippings.

Changelog:

Get Shortcut URL

You can run/open a shortcut from a link (e.g. shortcuts://run-shortcut?name= OR shortcuts://open-shortcut?name=).

This shortcut gets a list of your installed shortcuts, has you choose one, then has you choose which URL you want, & then, finally, it copies your chosen URL to the clipboard.

Uses the Toolbox Pro app to sort the list of shortcuts alphabetically, but it’s not absolutely necessary to function; it just makes it easier to find the shortcut you want.

Changelog:

Get Youtube RSS Feed

Get rss feeds for channels or playlists, then copies the URL to be pasted into your favorite reader app. Needs the Actions app (FREE).

Changelog:

  • Version 04132025: Updated contact info in comment box.
  • Version 03242025: Per user feedback, I added an alert that lets the user know that the feed URL has been copied to the clipboard and is ready to be pasted into your chosen feed reader.

Hypothesis

This shortcut lets you annotate a web page by opening the page with the https://via.hypothes.is/ prefix at the beginning of the URL. Hypothes.is does require you to sign up for an account, but it’s completely free.

I’ve also included URL shortening, since I’ve noticed that several bookmarking services strip out the hypothesis prefix from the URL. The URL is copied in markdown format, which both hypothes.is & raindrop.io accepts.

What I like to do is add a page note in hypothes.is (page level, not tied to any ¶ or heading) with the copied markdown. That way I can always easily find it, whether I bookmark it or not. Also, once the page note is saved I can long-press the link & share it wherever I want. URL shortening provided by the OG tinyurl.com.
