Does anyone use Shortcuts on your Apple device? If so, what are you using? (self.technology)

For me, I have shortcuts on my Mac to change the wallpaper based on time of day (light or dark), but that's it. I'd maybe be interested in using more if I could think of a good use case, so share yours, if you have one

I have one to setup my primary and backup alarmclocks. It trigger when i plug the charger and gives me 2 options. If i dont press any then no alarm set.

I also use datajar to store variables, this way the clock automation toggles an automation in the morning to put a on a dimmed smartlight. It should also show me the weather and windspeed for the day but i always seem to miss that notification.

For a while i also had a system where a light changed color depending if i still have time or am running late but that one i have to redo since reconfiguring some stuff.

Almost forgot: an automation to reset the variables and clocks again for the next day.

I have been considering making it even more smart like checking my work schedule and such but I haven’t gotten around to it. Also sucks that ipads no longer support the newer HomeKit update.
