Loccali vs LimitBox

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.
