With the latest updates for Actions For Obsidian and BarCuts out of the way, I can finally start building that local CRM based on #Obsidian + Apple Contacts + #Shortcuts.

Bit weird, but hell – a local CRM that syncs to macOS address book, that's a cool idea! In theory 😉

I'll keep you posted

I've just released BarCuts 2025.5, the newest update for my contextual #macOS #Shortcuts launcher!

This version adds running workflows by URL, so they can be triggered from, say, your notes. Works very well with #Obsidian (just saying). It also brings performance fixes.

I finally got around to setting up the website for my automated #Anthropic Status Bluesky account, @anthroping.zottmann.dev:

Here's one for all my fellow #Obsidian fans: I'm building a new thing, it's called "Notes From Email", and I *think* you might like it…?

notes-from.email – A hosted service that turns every email it receives into a new note in your vault, with its attachments intact.

Yes, no? 🤔

Stock up on #Apple #Shortcuts apps for #WWDC25, as you will never have enough of them!

Here's a 20% code for both BarCuts (my contextual Shortcuts launcher) and Browser Actions (which adds Shortcuts supports to your favourite browsers that aren't Arc or Firefox):

#Obsidian 1.9 changes its front matter format for array values, so "tags: tag1, tag2, tag3" no longer works. If your vault is full of front matter in that format (aliases, note IDs etc.), then here's what you can do about it:

My man @ileif.de penned a super-detailed review of my contextual #macOS #Shortcuts launcher, BarCuts – including the new #Raycast and #Alfred functionality! It's so thorough I might link it from the official docs…

INPUT/OPINIONS NEEDED:

Who are your favourite Apple Shortcuts people? Creators, developers, anyone that comes to your mind when you think about #iOS & #macOS Shortcuts stuff?

♻️Boosts/reposts are highly appreciated, thank ye 🤙🏼

I've just released #BarCuts 2025.0.6, which contains a fix for an issue with the #macOS 15.4 betas (which broke a CLI tool that BarCuts relied on). Had to rewrite the workflow runner code for that but oh well. 😅

So yeah, the beta is still ongoing, who knew?

Thanks for all the shoutouts, @johnvoorhees.macstories.net & @viticci.macstories.net! It means a lot to me, honestly! 💚

Released v2025.0.4 β of my new #macOS app #BarCuts (actions.work/barcuts) last night, and I have a feeling that it'll be the last beta version before release! 🤞🏼

(BarCuts shows your #Shortcuts workflows where you need them, when you need them. It's quite handy.)

Give me 55s of your time, and I'll explain my new app to you!

#BarCuts is a #macOS menu bar app that displays #Shortcuts workflows. It allows you to "tag" workflows to an app. When that app is active and in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu.

Start your weekend in a good way with my NEW PUBLIC BETA:

Reposts welcome 😅

Current challenge: "Build that new #macOS app, release the first beta within two weeks". Halfway point – I'm cautiously optimistic! It's going pretty well, I've implemented 2/3 of the core functionality already.

Anyways, if you're into #Shortcuts: I'll likely need some testers soon 😅
