Make your local variables global — across Shortcuts, devices, and time. Loccali gives Apple Shortcuts the one thing it's missing: persistent, global storage. With Loccali, you can store data that survives between runs, across automations, and even across devices — without resorting to workarounds or iCloud Drive hacks. What It Does: - Store key-value data outside of individual shortcuts - Retrieve or update that data from any shortcut - Sync variables via iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Store more complex data types (arrays, locations, dates, files) Free Version Includes: - Store up to 10 variables - Supports Text (up to 256 characters), Booleans, and Positive Integers - Instant Shortcuts integration via native actions - Clean, simple UI for direct variable management Pro Unlocks: - Unlimited variables - Full support for: - Text (no limit) - Integers & Decimals (positive and negative) - Arrays (e.g., JSON-style lists) - Dates and Locations - Files (store and retrieve files via Shortcuts) - More flexibility for serious automation workflows Available as: - Monthly auto-renewable subscription - Yearly auto-renewable subscription (best value per month) - One-time lifetime unlock Already bought Pro? You're set — your original purchase keeps unlocking the full Pro feature set you paid for, forever, no subscription required. Privacy: - Your variables stay on your device and in your private iCloud — never uploaded to our servers - Anonymous usage analytics and crash diagnostics via Firebase to help us fix bugs - Free tier shows a rewarded ad when you reach the daily action cap (iPhone and iPad only — Mac is ad-free) - Pro removes ads entirely - Full details: https://pierrejanineh.com/loccali/privacy-policy Who This Is For: - Automation enthusiasts - Shortcuts power users - Developers who want real persistence across Shortcuts - Anyone who's hit the limits of "magic variables" or built clunky workarounds Note: "Magic variables" are Shortcuts' built-in auto-generated values — they're convenient but temporary. Loccali gives you real, persistent ones. Loccali is not for everyone — but if you know what a global variable is, this is probably for you. No noise. Just clean, script-free state management for your Shortcuts. If you use Shortcuts seriously, this belongs in your toolbox. Subscription terms: - Loccali Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or a one-time lifetime unlock. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. - Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - The account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price as the original subscription. - Manage or cancel your subscription in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions. - Privacy policy: https://pierrejanineh.com/loccali/privacy-policy - Terms of use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Loccali sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. HTTPS4All asks for nothing beyond the download.
Loccali holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTTPS4All has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of HTTPS4All's written reviews are positive against 0% of Loccali's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
