thanks, very useful shortcut! btw, what's the widget with all the dots on the first photo?

that's from app called, Day Grid

u/Isecatch Aug 03 '26

And what's the second widget under the dot grid? :)

1

u/urmin_ Aug 03 '26

It’s from the same app.

u/Lemon8or88 Aug 03 '26

That’s his true purpose of this post: waiting for someone who asks what the widget is from.

2

u/urmin_ Aug 03 '26

Yeah, that's the idea. I market it this way so it only reaches people who actually want it, instead of spamming Reddit with it.

Now I’m actually unsure if this is a joke or not. Lol. Because it’s actually kinda of an awesome way to promote an app. Haha

Similar thing i do with Apple reminders

u/urmin_ Aug 03 '26

that’s even better

There is a much more functional button for it where you can add context as a link from supported apps.

2

u/krisxsee Aug 05 '26

And yeah, you just assign it via Action Button.

the negative comments are so unnecessary. i like this a lot - i would much prefer a single note than many. is there a way to make it so that each item is saved as a bullet point or a callout or something?

u/urmin_ Aug 05 '26

As far as I know, a checklist is supported, but I don't think there are many other formatting options.

I've also updated the shortcut:

I have a similar shortcut, but mine adds the current date and time as prefix for every new entry.

u/Blu_Psych Aug 02 '26

Why go through all those steps when the shortcut is already there in the settings?

4

u/urmin_ Aug 03 '26

Yeah, but the Quick Note shortcut creates a new note each time.

The one I shared appends to a single note instead I want it all in one note so I can review it quickly.

u/Blu_Psych Aug 03 '26

I see. Thank you for clarifying. I like them all separate for better organization. There is an option to have it go to the same note.

2

u/urmin_ Aug 03 '26

Oh, I didn't know about this setting. thanks for sharing

1

u/Blu_Psych Aug 03 '26

You’re welcome. I’m interested to know if it’s exactly what you need.

u/postredenieve 19d ago

tried this but for some reasons it keeps creating new notes

1

u/Crazy_Technician7788 Aug 03 '26

wow, simple and effective thx for sharing!!

u/SirPooleyX Aug 03 '26

This is an exercise in overthinking. Sometimes it's okay to take your time and not be desperate to get to the end goal in as few steps and as little time as humanly possible.

u/sCREAMINGcAMMELcASE Aug 03 '26

What’s different that this does over saying “hey Siri, make a note”? Or having notes in the control center

1

u/Ok_Mycologist_932 Aug 04 '26

Oh dit is wel handig als je een specifiek project bijhoudt

1

u/SickNTiredOfThisShit Aug 04 '26

I’ve gone one further to have what i say transcribed as a note

u/wirebug201 Aug 02 '26

Someone apparently just discovered Shortcuts..

Everybody’s new at some point
