About ShortcutStudio
ShortcutStudio builds Apple Shortcuts with AI. You describe the workflow in plain English in a chat, the builder drafts the shortcut, explains its logic and prepares a downloadable .shortcut file, and you preview the actions and send it into the Apple Shortcuts app. Files work across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and no App Store download is needed for the file itself.
A visual editor adjusts the result, and the site cautions that the action catalog does not cover every Shortcuts action, so it suits focused automations you can inspect before running. A community Marketplace lets people share and download shortcuts for productivity, focus, health and home automation for free, and app developers whose iOS apps expose Shortcuts actions can ask for support. The service is independent of Apple, with a free start, lifetime membership options and an iOS app.
