I I updated my "When Shortcuts Make the Magic Happen" post

CatarinaDK

I’ve updated my Start My Day shortcut to support three list formats — bullets, numbers, and checkmarks — in three languages:

English, German and French, I of course have one and Danish, but I don't think there is any from Denmark on this platform.
Now you can pick the style and language that fits you best.

🔔 Reminders setup:
To make the Reminders section work, make sure you have a list named:

My List (English)
Meine Liste (German)
Ma Liste (French)

—or just edit the shortcut to use the list you already have in your Reminders app.

✨ I also created a Note Search shortcut, available in the same four languages, that you can add to your Home Screen for quick access to search anything in Notes without opening your Notes app.

English with Checkmark-list
English with Bullets-list
English with Numbers-list
English Search in Notes

German mit Checkmark-list
German mit Bullets-list
German mit Numbers-list
German In Notizen suchen

French with Checkmark-list
French with Bullets-list
French with Numbers-list
French Rechercher dans les notes

Great work. Thank you for sharing it.

CatarinaDK Hi, I've just discovered forever*notes. Your shortcuts are a very nice job and taught me a lot.
When using your "French with checkmark" as a standalone shortcut, it works fine. checkmarks are present in front of my reminders.
I tried to convert your shortcut into one to be called by another shortcut. It should only provide the reminders list with checkmarks to the calling shortcut. The calling shortcut then writes the reminders list to the note : but no checkmark only bullet in front of each reminder.
Which technical domains should I "study" so as to investigate my problem ?
Kind regards

Superb on all counts: your efforts to create the shortcuts, your consideration to make all the options and languages, the shortcuts themselves and not least of all your willingness to share.

You’ve made an already amazing method —Forever ✱ Notes—even more effective and useful! Thank you!

@CatarinaDK I really like your idea with the Note Search.shortcut.
Do you know if it is possible to get the results while typing? That would be awesome.

CatarinaDK

thomas_h Hi, not something I make - maybe som one smarter than me can 😉

thomas_h

CatarinaDK Thanks for the response. Perhaps it's simply technical limitations.

CatarinaDK

thomas_h I think your right 😀

I'm not sure if I understand your question quit well, but for the shortcut to work, you need all the 19 calls after the one that finds the specific reminder. Otter white it don't show checkmarks 😊

satemorej

CatarinaDK hi, thanks for your feedback. After many tries, I finally understood my mistake between "text" and "rtf". I was reusing the result of your 19 calls in a "text" function in my own shortcut which seems to overwrite your formatting.

Am I the only guy in the world not to find any useful user guide for iOS shortcuts in google search ?

Regards

Bravo 👏🏻

I have never used Shortcuts before april this year, but I have learned so much by looking at other shortcuts and I also have uses Reddit extensively😉

satemorej This shortcut (Start My Day) is one of the more complicated applications. The best approach is to start simple, copy what others have done, and build from there.

You can learn a lot from the shortcuts Apple supplies in the Gallery and from YouTube videos where they show how it's done.

Hi @CatarinaDK your shortcut is so helpful and I‘m using it since my F✱N journey regularly. It helps to stick to my daily routines and journaling. I added a habit tracker with another reminders list on top and it works totally fine! Thank you so much for sharing this great toolkit.

I have only one problem and don‘t know if it is an users error or if it‘s a general problem. If i add a task in my reminders app (correct list in the shortcut app selected) the shortcut will take the reminders from the next day also I don‘t add a specific time to it. The shortcut will then work totally fine and picks only the reminders from today. I didn‘t change anything at your shortcut so I was wondering id f you have to assign a specific time to the reminder or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help F✱N users.

I think I have a solution for when a reminder doesn’t have a time (I always have a time on) - but I can’t tell you before tomorrow. I’ll need to test if it works 😄

Or maybe you can try to?

In the reminder section you need to change today to within and the if your having the automation set to 1 miner after midnight- 24 or 23 hours. I’m not sure if it works before tomorrow. 😊

I have been testing the last supple of days and this is what work, if a reminder don't have a due time. It does not make any sense, but it work, during testing. Could you try to edit the reminder sektion in your shortcut, so it matches this section.https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f4ac89c9b25c4bd7811a5b0f25fc9887

I couldent make a screenshot, because I have a danish version, and don't know the therms in English.
