RunOnWatch

Launch shortcuts from your Apple Watch.

Description

RunOnWatch

RunOnWatch lets you launch shortcuts from your Apple Watch.

Setup

Answer the import questions. Run the shortcut and choose “Generate Link,” then select shortcuts to use on your watch. The shortcut may take a while to generate links, as it has to process the icons for each shortcut you want to use. A message will come up with the link, send it to yourself.

Usage

On your phone, run the shortcut, the click “Run Daemon.” On your watch, open the message you sent yourself during setup, click the link, and enjoy!

Some Notes

Sorry, the video I made is kinda deceptive, as this doesn’t actually show up as an app. By the way, this shortcut uses myjson.com to communicate with the watch.

Made for Apple Watch Series 4 or higher

Looks great! Is this compatible with ios13? I've installed, set up the json, created links, and run the daemon but can't see the app or links on my watch. Would be great to have step by step setup instructions

Ok. Will do! Unfortunately it will only work with Apple Watch series 4 or newer.

Thanks. I have an older watch, but this and the always on watch face may motivate me to get a new one!

Hey! I looked at your shortcut and it's actually very different from the "original". Interesting solution! Well done! It would be nice if you add to the description that third party internet services are used. Another thing is the name of the shortcut. Would it be possible that you might consider a slightly different name to avoid confusion? Sure, "WatchCuts" is not protected, but it would be fair somehow, wouldn't it? That would be great! And thank you so much for using MediaKit! Looks awesome!

There’s a lot of updaters out there, if you want, you can take a look at Swing Updater, if you don’t like it, you can try UpdateKit.
