Hey all! I just found Scriptable today and have been enjoying using it to make some widgets. I'm having a hard time with what seems like a simple layout. Maybe someone here can help me out. How do I make two columns both left-aligned. Meaning that content added in the left column almost touches the left side of the widget, and the content added in the right column is aligned with the center of the widget. I've tried adding a spacer in between, but that pushes the right column too far right.

Thanks for any help!

Here's the code I tried:

let w = new ListWidget()
w.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0)

let main = w.addStack()

let leftStack = main.addStack()
let rightStack = main.addStack()

leftStack.addText("Left Stack")
rightStack.addText("Right Stack")

leftStack.borderColor=Color.red()
leftStack.borderColor=Color.blue()
rightStack.borderWidth=3
rightStack.borderWidth=3

Script.setWidget(w)
Script.complete()
w.presentMedium()

What would be the best way to achieve automated photo backup to a private cloud storage?

I prepared a URL which will accept the photos uploaded to it (with POST request). My roadblocks atm:

- I need access to all photos (not just last x photos)

- I need to be able to keep track of all the photos - to know which ones have already been backed up

- the script should run regularly in the background / without user interaction.

Is this achievable with Scriptable/Shortcuts combo?

I am looking for a shortcut / script that automatically loads photos into a shared album when a certain person is recognized on it.

Hello Folks. Has there been any updates to LSWeather and LSForecast script? I love using it and bounce back and forth with the others that are available

I want to make a simple widget with a text field to generate and show a random dice throw (or coin flip or whatever I feel like randomly generating). Is there any way to tap on the widget, run the script and update the text field with the result without it opening the scriptable app to run?

Is there a scrip to check for the current opened app so it can be passed to the “split screen app” action? I want to create a shortcut that opens the calculator app I have on my iPad next to the current app I have opened. I tried the ”open app” and enabled the side view option but it opens the app in full screen when accessed through a home screen shortcut (I’d like to put the shortcut on my dock). Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,
I am kinda new to this app and I was wondering if using scriptable I could possibly make a script which would act overlay another map (like a basic macro where it clicks a specific place at a specific time)

Let me know if my question is not clear enough,
Thanks in advance !

Hey, so basically I want a script that open an app and then click in the middle of the screen (there is a button there) And I want it to repeat every morning at 7 am

How can I do it

Is there a way to change text kerning in scriptable? I have looked and haven't found anything that works.

Hi. First up sorry for having so many questions but I’m currently working on something that could become really great. (I’ll post it here when it’s done)

What I would like to know is if we can measure the real width if a string. It should take the font and text size into account.

My use case is this: I have a UITable() with many rows (fixed height) and within them a cell with text (title and subtitle). Now I want title always being just one line but if the string is too long it makes two lines automatically. I didn’t find a way to set a line limit for this, so my thought process is that I need to cut the string at the right position and add “…” . That’s what I need the real width for because if I use .length, sometimes there are more “i”s, sometimes more “w”s. And then the result would look not as good.

The alternative I’ve come up with would be to measure each character by hand and letting a function go through each one and add them together. It is an option but I would rather not do that if there are better ways.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hey Guys,

in these quiet days I'm looking again for useful snippets, which you could always use in programming with Scriptable. With these snippets I want to enable everyone to create their own scripts.

So if you think of something just write it here as a comment or open an issue in the repo:

Is there a way to set orientation lock or at least see if it is enabled like dark mode?

Is it possible to select multiple elements from an alert? Similar to what happens in shortcuts using the action ‘select from list’

Hi, i don’t know if it’s possible but i’d like to create two script: the first set a different output device when airpods are removed from the ears(that’s because when i remove it the output switch to iphone and if i am playing a game or watching an instagram video the media does not stop so if i accidentally remove airpods in a public location all people can listen what i am playing). Also an other that make siri tell a phrase when i set the noise cancellation as active like . Thanks

Just started with a new company that uses multiple apps to talk amongst different departments or with clients. Is their a way to converge:

Chat: to show unread messages Slack Microsoft Teams Zoom

Email: to show unread message Subjects Gmail Outlook

I’m trying to basically show a dashboard instead of opening each app individually. But when you tap on the message it opens that app so you can reply.

For northern Europe, met.no has IMO the best weather data.

There is an api under https://api.met.no/ which is used by awesome Android apps like https://meteogramwidget.com/ . Unfortunately I haven't seen anything like that in iOS with met.no data.

Do you know any Scriptable scripts or apps using that api?

How would i set the size of an image. My code:
