MoE Code adds additional useful actions to Apple's Shortcuts app. After spending ~2 years developing ~40 distinct shortcuts (https://routinehub.co/user/mythofechelon) over ~650 versions and encountering all sorts of functionality gaps, I decided to develop and share my own native solutions. These are currently as follows, and I'm happy to take suggestions! • AI ◦ "Is Apple Intelligence Functional?" ◦ "Is Apple Intelligence-Capable?" ◦ [iOS 27+ only] "Use AI Model With Images / Files" • Clipboard ◦ "Get Clipboards" ◦ "Set Clipboards" • Data: Dictionaries ◦ "Delete Nested Dictionary Key" ◦ "Pretty Print Dictionaries" ◦ "Set Nested Dictionary Value" • Data: HTML ◦ "Convert HTML Tables To JSON" ◦ "Extract HTML Elements Using SwiftSoup" • Data: JSON ◦ "Transform JSON Using JQ" • Data: Lists ◦ "Add Value(s) To List / Merge Lists" ◦ "Convert JSON Array To Shortcuts List" ◦ "Convert String / Shortcuts List To JSON Array" ◦ "Get Value Position In List" ◦ "List Contains List?" ◦ "List Contains Value?" ◦ "Remove Value From List" ◦ "Sort Keys Of Dicts In List" ◦ "Subtract Lists" • Data: Misc ◦ "Boolean" • Data: Text ◦ "Extract Strings From Binary" ◦ "Multi Replace Text" • Device ◦ "Get Device Ground Speed" ◦ "Get Device Model" ◦ "Get Device Type" ◦ "Is App Installed?" • Files ◦ "Get File / Folder Properties" • Media ◦ [iOS 27+ only] "Change Existing Images' / Videos' Captions" ◦ "Change Existing Images' / Videos' Creation Dates" ◦ "Change Existing Images' / Videos' Locations" ◦ "Chunk Video" ◦ [iOS 27+ only] "Find Photos By Captions" ◦ "Mark Photos / Videos" (as favourited, unfavourited, or hidden) ◦ "Play System Sound" ◦ [iOS 26+ only] "Resize Images With Fill (HDR)" • Network ◦ "Get Certificate Chain" ◦ "Is Internet-Connected?" ◦ "Make HTTP Request" • Settings ◦ "Get Reminders Default List" ◦ "Open Settings Deep Link" • Shortcuts ◦ "Convert JSON To PLIST" (XML or Base64-encoded binary) ◦ "Convert PLIST Binary To JSON" ◦ "Extract Action Blocks" ◦ "Find Invalid Variable References" • UI ◦ "Show Markdown" • Widget ◦ "Delete Widget / Complication Key" ◦ "Get Widget / Complication Value" ◦ "Set Circular Widget / Complication Value" ◦ "Set Text Widget / Complication Value" ◦ "Sync And Reload App Widgets"

Take the power of your local AI dev stack everywhere. OpenMono is the official mobile companion for OpenMonoAgent.ai—the open-source, terminal-native coding agent that you own, not rent. Why OpenMono? OpenMono is built on the belief that AI should be infrastructure sitting on your desk, serving your code, and answering only to you. This app enables "Dual-Box" mode: run heavy inference on your home GPU rig (RTX 3090/4090/5090) and control the agentic workflow securely from your iPhone. Key Features: • Dual-Box Connectivity: Seamlessly bridge the gap between your mobile device and your local GPU infrastructure. Works behind any NAT/CGNAT via our secure outbound-only relay. • Unlimited Tokens, Zero Cost: Stop watching the meter. Since the model runs on your hardware, your prompts are free, unlimited, and private forever. • Agentic Code Execution: OpenMono doesn’t just suggest code; it reasons. Perform multi-file refactors, architectural analysis, and automated testing from a mobile-optimized terminal. • Built for .NET Developers: Deep integration with Roslyn allows the agent to understand type hierarchies, call graphs, and cross-assembly references with compiler-level accuracy. • Docker-Native Sandboxing: Every destructive operation is gated. Your code is bind-mounted into a container, ensuring the agent remains isolated and secure. • MCP & Tooling Support: Access 20+ built-in tools and extend your agent’s capabilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Infrastructure Highlights: • Local-first, always. No one else sees your code. • Powered by C#/.NET. • Supports high-performance LLMs (Qwen, Llama, etc.) optimized for your specific hardware.
