Ultimate Guide to the Shortcuts App (for the Mac)!

🩳 Download my Shortcuts here: https://www.jeffsu.org/macbook-shortc... Although the Shortcuts app is already pretty popular on the iPhone, very few people use it on their Macbooks as well. So in this video I’ve put together the ultimate guide for the Shortcuts app on the Mac! First, I go over all the ways you can activate and run Shortcut workflows on the Mac (since it’s actually not that obvious) and cover the settings changes you need to make Then, I share 7 Shortcuts I use every single day that makes my life just so much easier (like hitting just 1 button to hide my entire desktop 😉) My examples are great but what’s even better is for you to create Shortcuts specific to you, so I end the video by showing you how you can tweak existing workflows to fit your needs and how to share them with others! Have fun 😁!
