Free iOS Shortcuts for iPhone and iPad

A shortcut is a small automation built in Apple's Shortcuts app, which comes with every iPhone. It chains actions together, like resizing a photo, calling a web service or toggling a setting, and you can run it from Siri, the Home Screen, a widget, the Share Sheet or the Action Button.

Adding any shortcut listed here costs nothing. A few rely on outside services that may charge, such as an OpenAI API key you pay for yourself or a downloader that now needs a paid key. When that is the case, the shortcut's page says so before you install it.

Shortcuts are shared through Apple's own iCloud links, and the Shortcuts app shows you every action before you add one. Our pages describe what each shortcut does and which services it talks to, and the install guide shows what to look for in the preview so you can spot anything that doesn't match.

The Shortcuts app works on iOS 13 and later, but many shortcuts need a newer release, and some features depend on hardware such as the Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and later. The minimum iOS version is listed at the top of every shortcut page.

Shortcuts that rely on a website or API can stop working when that service or iOS changes. The Updated date shows when the author last released a version, so you can tell an actively maintained shortcut from one that may have been abandoned.

Independent creators in the Shortcuts community build them, and each page credits its author. LibShortcut picks the shortcuts, writes the explanations and keeps the version history current. Authors who want a listing changed or removed can reach us through the contact page.
