Shortcuts Documentation
Timely is built to work with Apple's Shortcuts app, giving you powerful ways to create, find, manage, and automate your Timely Countdowns. Through Shortcuts, Timely can also connect with other apps, services, and systems that support Shortcuts, opening up more ways to make Timely part of your own workflows and automations.
This guide covers every Shortcuts action available in Timely, explains its parameters and results, and shows how the actions can be combined to build reliable automations.
Tip: Learn more about Shortcuts and how to use the Shortcuts app in Apple's Shortcuts User Guide.
