Using Automator to create a Shortcuts-like Experience on the MacWhen I started to make or use other people's Shortcuts, I found myself missing the functionality and speed they provide when I was then using one of my Mac laptops.One day I decided that perhaps it was time to look at Automator again.This is an old Mac app, which over time has been superseded by Siri on the Mac and also some of the features in Apple's stock apps on the Mac. However, it is possible to use Automator to run some neat workflows on your Mac.I have ones that quickly open websites I used a lot, just with one click. I use the app to open applications that I often use together, such as Skype and the Stickies app. I also use it to quickly hide or quit the applications I am using at any particular time. This as well as adding notes to specific Reminders app lists without opening the app and opening blank Pages documents, Apple Notes and more.I am not an expert in using the app but it is very similar to Shortcuts in that you build the workflow by dragging actions to create the process you wish to undertake.I keep my workflows simple but they are still very effective and bring some of the functionality of Shortcuts to my Mac usage.This website is a great place to start in terms of learning about Automator and other automations:Let me know if you would like me to upload some of my Automator actions for reference.Brian17th March 2019
