## What is ActionMate?

ActionMate is a practical tool designed to enhance the usage of Action Button in conjunction with the Shortcut app.

The action button is a new physical button added to the iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max models, replacing the silent mode switch. It is recommended to use ActionMate on iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max models for the best experience.

Although the iOS system provides several default action button functions, ActionMate can help you greatly expand the function usage of the action button. Pressing the function button in different states can trigger various features, such as:

- Pressing the action button in portrait mode to turn silent mode on/off; pressing it in landscape mode will open the camera.
- Pressing the action button when the device screen is facing up will display a payment QR code; pressing it when the screen is facing down will start a one-touch recording.
- Shaking the device after pressing the action button will change the wallpaper; not shaking the device after pressing will take a screenshot and share it directly.
...

These are just a few basic examples of ActionMate's capabilities. With the high degree of freedom provided by the iOS Shortcut app, you can use ActionMate to stack a wide variety of complex functions.

Even if you're not familiar with the iOS Shortcut app, ActionMate includes and will continue to update a number of sample shortcuts for one-click access. It also provides a number of shortcut usage tutorials to help you solve any problems.

ActionMate will continue to improve in the long term. If you have any feature suggestions, please contact us through the App's built-in feedback mechanism.

### 1/5 — 不更新了？

*2025-06-09*

说好持续更新的呢

### 1/5 — 别花冤枉钱

*2024-12-08*

根本不需要付费开通PRO，利用快捷指令内置case，就可以实现它付费版里的“识别音量变化”和“检测设备手势”🙂‍↕️

### 1/5 — 不推荐，内购更加不要买

*2024-03-26*

actions免费还在持续不停的更新，这款从上架开始到现在一直都没有任何新内容更新，所谓的持续更新就是说着玩的，完全就是奔着骗钱来的，完全不推荐。

### 1/5 — Donot buy

*2024-03-10*

The app is too laggy and does not work most of the time

### 1/5 — 功能少得可怜，也不见后续更新，感觉就是坑钱

*2024-03-01*

功能少得可怜，也不见后续更新，感觉就是坑钱

### 3/5 — 还需要加强

*2023-12-12*

买完发现Pro功能少得可怜，比actions差远了，大有种上当受骗的感觉，希望后续能跟上吧。

### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all

*2023-11-05*

None of the shortcuts worked on my iPhone 14+ basically for a iPhone 15 pro range only

### 4/5 — Lots of potential

*2023-11-03*

This is a good app worth loads of potential for some good customisation, one problem I have so far though is with the get orientation feature, when it takes a photo or video it seemingly doesn’t store them anywhere, fully expected them to be in the photos app but there not, and can’t fond them anywhere worth the files app either ???
