Shortcuts is the future of automation on macOS, iOS and iPadOS.
If you read between the lines, it sounds like Apple doesn’t plan to add new features to Automator. “This is just the start of a multi-year transition Automator will continue to be supported, and you can import Automator workflows into beginning one with shortcuts,” Federighi said. With this announcement, Apple is also setting the stage for the end of Automator. You can use Automator to easily create text-based services that can extract, process, and even replace the selected data. It’s going to be interesting to see what exactly you can trigger with shortcuts, but you can expect to be able to launch apps, create GIFs, send a message, create an email, launch a website, etc.Īfter that, you can trigger your shortcuts in the right column of the Finder, in the menubar and in Spotlight. In the new Shortcuts app, you can see a gallery of popular shortcuts. “And this year we're bringing Shortcuts to the Mac.” And on iOS, we've made automation even easier with Shortcuts,” SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi said. “The Mac has a long history of automation with command line, shell scripts, Apple scripts and Automator.
It’s going to look and work a lot like Shortcuts on iOS and iPadOS. Open Launchpad and begin typing Automator until the app icon appears. Open Spotlight, type in Automator and then click on the appropriate search result. Among other features, Apple is going to release Shortcuts on macOS. Opening Automator Opening the Automator app is just like opening any other application on macOS. Apple has announced the next major version of macOS at WWDC 2021 - macOS Monterey.
