SHORTCUTS

Shortcuts on iOS and iPadOS has become

a popular tool to create automations. In

macOS Monterey, Shortcuts for Mac will be

available, bringing over the same powerful

functionality. Any shortcuts that you make

are available systemwide, so you can run

them from just about anywhere on the

Mac. It’s easy to share shortcuts, and any

shortcuts you make sync across all your

devices. If they are compatible, iPhone

and iPad shortcuts can run on M1 Macs or

on Intel-based Mac systems with Catalyst

apps. Monterey also supports Automator,

the previous automation app, and

Automator workflows can now be

imported to Shortcuts.

Universal Control (coming later this fall) can connect to three

devices and lets you navigate between them.
