About

Shortcut Toolkit

Features
Read full description

Shortcut Toolkit extends Apple Shortcuts with native, background actions for advanced automation. Build more dependable AI and agent workflows with tools to validate, extract, and safely repair JSON; validate dictionary schemas; build compact AI context; estimate tokens; and wrap action results in predictable formats. Keep local workflow state on your device with temporary values, persistent values, agent state, and conversation memory. Clean AI responses, process text and lists, create identifiers and hashes, work with URLs, and cache results without leaving Shortcuts. Create safe reusable custom blocks in the companion app, then select them directly in Shortcuts. Audio Spectrum blocks can analyze an audio file and return a PNG spectrum graph for the next step in your workflow. Shortcut Toolkit is designed to stay out of the way: actions run inside Shortcuts wherever Apple permits, return results directly to the next action, and keep data on-device unless you choose a Shortcut action that sends it elsewhere.
