SnapCut turns your words into working shortcuts for Apple Shortcuts. Just describe what you want to automate and SnapCut generates a complete shortcut in seconds. CREATE WITH AI Type natural language commands like "When I arrive home, turn on lights" and SnapCut generates a shortcut. The on-device generator works instantly with zero configuration. BROWSE TEMPLATES Browse pre-made shortcuts across 8 categories: Smart Home, Productivity, Health, Social, Travel, Finance, Media, and Device. Each template includes customizable parameters. Install with one tap. VISUAL EDITOR Every generated shortcut is fully editable. Add, reorder, or delete steps with drag and drop. Browse 100+ actions from the built-in catalog and search by name or category. IMPORT SHORTCUTS Import existing .shortcut files to view, edit, and remix.
