One of Things’ most-requested features is here: adjustable text size! 🎉 You can now scale Things’ interface to a size that’s right for you. Check it out → culturedcode.com/things/blog/

English

@BearNotesApp H1-header feels way too large vs. body text. In this example I can’t fit a title >3 short words on a single line, while the body text is getting uncomfortably small to read. Option for indep. font sizes? Or to default to H2 in new notes?

Great job on v2, @BearNotesApp. After 24 hours with it, looks like you've pulled off a miracle: ground-up rewrite that hasn't broken anything, adds a bunch of cool stuff, AND fixes pretty much every little rough edge I'd ever found 👏.
English

@BearNotesApp Aaaaand it just dropped 🤩 I’ve been looking forwards to this for a long time, and the day is finally here. Congratulations on work well done! 🥳👌🏻🎆🏆

Bear 2 is almost here! Just to be safe, backup your notes. Here are 2 quick ways you can do it:
📱 iPhone and iPad: Settings > Import & Export
💻 Mac: File > Backup notes

@sclausen_dk I use @TempoLog and like how it “just” displays data from Apple‘s workouts app. It isn’t primarily designed for the “social” bit, just to display your existing data. I find it motivating as the numbers add up 😉

Things gains automation superpowers today, with a huge update for Apple Shortcuts. We’ve also prepared a gallery with some great shortcuts for you.
Check it out: culturedcode.com/things/blog/

@pocketcasts Can you create an action for Shortcuts that allow me to fetch the show notes from the currently playing podcast episode?
Sometimes I want to check some links in the show notes, but can’t do it right there and then.
English

@macpowerusers sign-up code for 1password in the show notes from last episode doesn’t work. I used your link but when I click to sign up, the second web page doesn’t recognise the code… 🫤
English

@surfedapp I’m missing the “Restore Purchases” button on the iPhone-app, so now my recently reinstalled iPhone doesn’t sync with my iPad. Known issue?
English

@ctrl4homekit There are no actions for “Controller for HomeKit” visible in my Shortcuts app (latest 6.0 release, and premium (trial) active). Is that a bug, or isn’t the Controller for HomeKit app supposed to have actions available in Shortcuts?
English

@sindresorhus This update appeared to break some of my shortcuts. Actions app suddenly didn’t appear in the list of apps with Shortcut-actions. Rebooting my device fixed it, and all is well now.
Just saying in case you get similar reports from others.
English

I just released v2 of my Actions app (useful actions for the Shortcuts app). 13 new actions and lots of improvements.

@CollectionsPDB is there a url-scheme to launch this app? Better still: to launch specific collections?
English

@pushcut_app I like the thought of advanced scheduling options a lot. It would compliment the Shortcuts app (which can’t do this kind of repetition). It would also be similar to how I rely on repeating tasks in my todo-list, just with automations in stead of tasks.
Thanks for responding!
English

@bileth Right now, there isn’t an easy way to do this directly in the app. It could be achieved through an external integration (e.g. IFTT, Make, Zapier) or multiple “At Time” schedules.
More advanced scheduling options are something we’ll be looking into!
English

@pushcut_app is there a way to schedule an automation to run for example every 3 days? In the interval settings I only get 1-60minutes. Would like to have options for hours &/ days
English

@MacSparky Can you say something about how rough iOS (16) is this year? I’m nervous about upgrading out of fear that my Shortcuts will break or become difficult to maintain. I don’t want a repeat of iOS 15 😅
English

@pushcut_app Ah, great 👌🏻 I’m waiting for iPadOS 16 before I upgrade, but this feature is something I look forward to!
English

@bileth Just the querying device. The iOS16 limitation is on the shortcut, rather than the status syncing itself.
English

2022.7 is out!
Dynamically set your Widget Actions, and get your Server Status in Shortcuts
pushcut.io/release-notes/…
English

@pushcut_app Do both the server and the querying device have to run iOS16, or can I run this action on an iOS16-device even if the server is on iOS15?
I’d like to check the server status regularly and notify me if it isn’t running. I don’t need to run this action on the server itself.
English

@bileth What’s your use case for the shortcut?
We weren’t really envisioning this as a shortcut that would run on the server but as an easy way to get the status from other devices.
English

@pushcut_app I can’t upgrade the server (iPhone 7), unfortunately 🫤. But thanks for responding 👍🏻
