I do most of my automation in LaunchBar1. I prefer writing code to clicking it together. But sometimes, a shortcut is just the easiest solution… or the only solution (iOS).

There are plenty of great shortcut resources out there. I’ll share my standalone2 shortcuts here.

This shortcut retrieves information from your keychain about the current Wi-Fi connection and its password and presents it as a QR code. You will need to enter your username and password in the process.

Get Shortcut (macOS only)

Send URL To LaunchBar

This adds an item to the context menu that lets you send a URL from linked text to LaunchBar.

  1. BTW: LaunchBar has great Shortcut support

  2. I also have some integrated in LaunchBar actions. E.g. in Set timer or Set alarm
