AnyStash for Shortcuts
Read full descriptionHide full description
AnyStash is a Shortcuts companion—and the name means what it sounds like: a place to stash what your automations need to keep—typed values and files, locations, event sessions, and Live Activities—so what you run stays visible, and what you save stays reusable. Not a calendar app: Event Sessions are start/stop activities with Live Activities and history, not appointments. Not only a parked-car pin: Parking here is a timed session on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island—start, end, and a trail you can review later. LIVE ACTIVITIES ON LOCK SCREEN & DYNAMIC ISLAND Start and stop Live Activities from the Shortcuts app or from AnyStash. Show a count-up or countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island—with optional location and a reminder when a timed session ends. Everyday examples: • Parking — start a count-up when you leave the car; stop when you return • Focus — run a countdown for deep work or a quiet block • Meeting or Visit — keep status visible while you’re on site • Built-in categories include Parking, Focus, Meeting, Visit, and Generic; Pro unlocks custom categories EVENTS, LOGS & HISTORY Record event sessions with Start, End, and Checkpoint actions—handy as a run log for shortcuts, errands, or anything you want to review later. Browse sessions in the app, add notes, filter by category, and keep a clear history of what happened. CHECK IN & LOCATION HISTORY One-tap Check In saves where you are (Location When In Use—no continuous background tracking). Browse visit and location history on a map or list so you can find that café, trailhead, or parking area again. GLOBAL VARIABLES — YOUR DATA STORE Keep text, numbers, yes/no values, lists, dictionaries, and files (screenshots, PDFs, and more) in global variables that other shortcuts can Set and Get later. Use key paths for structured data. Content stays on your device by default; optional iCloud sync is under your Apple ID. BUILT FOR SHORTCUTS Add AnyStash actions in the Shortcuts app—no AnyStash account required. Purchases use your Apple ID; Restore Purchases brings Pro back on a new device. Free to try with the full Shortcuts action set. Pro Lifetime is an optional one-time unlock for unlimited sessions, custom categories, full history, and extra variable modules. Privacy-minded by default: sessions, variables, files, and precise location stay on device unless you enable Apple sync options you control. See our Privacy Policy for details.
