Hi, I'm Carlo. I create productivity tools for macOS & iOS that add Shortcuts automation features to apps that need them, like #ObsidianMD. My goal is to make what you are already using work even better for you.

Heads up: If you follow my main account (see links) then there's probably no reason to follow this one right here as well. ;)

TIL that in #Obsidian, you can deep-link headline *hierarchies*:
`My Note.md`:
```
## Section 1
### Subsection
## Section 2
### Subsection
```
- `[[My Note#Section 1]]` (I knew that, of course)
- `[[My Note#Section 1#Subsection]]` (ooh!)
- `[[My Note#Section 2#Subsection]]`
Here's one for all my fellow #Obsidian fans: I'm building a new thing, it's called "Notes From Email", and I *think* you might like it…?
https://notes-from.email – A hosted service that turns every email it receives into a new note in your vault, with its attachments intact.
If you could boost it, I'd appreciate that quite a bit! Because I try to gauge the level of interest so that I can plan accordingly.
Who am I to argue with my customers? (Thanks @oliverandrich!)

Stock up on #Apple #Shortcuts apps for #WWDC25, as you will never have enough of them!
Here's a 20% code for both BarCuts (my contextual Shortcuts launcher) and Browser Actions (which adds Shortcuts supports to your favourite browsers that aren't Arc or Firefox):

#Obsidian 1.9 changes its front matter format for array values, so "tags: tag1, tag2, tag3" no longer works. If your vault is full of front matter in that format (aliases, note IDs etc.), then here's what you can do about it:

- Option 1 is for my Actions For Obsidian customers (you're good folk)
- Option 2 is for everyone (you're also good folk) 🖖🏼
Birthday week 2025 is on!* 🎉
Save 19.74% on my non-AppStore apps over at https://actions.work/store/?ref=masto-bday with code BIRTHDAY2025 – that works for both my #macOS apps BarCuts and Browser Actions, on top of their current introductory prices!
The coupon is live until May 27, 2025 at 6:00pm UTC, because I'd like more people to use my apps, and figure this #IndieDev business out as I go along 😉
And even if this #deal isn't for you: Mind boosting? Thanks!
*) 51 years (Earth standard) by tomorrow, w00p!
@brandonhorst Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for, but I'm using Linter which auto-adds modification timestamps to the front matter. And both Obsidian Sync and the git community plugin let you see file changes over time.
HTH!
Working on an E2E testing setup for my #Obsidian plugin, Actions URI. Progress so far:
1. Sets up a pre-configured test vault
2. Sets up temporary HTTP server as X-Callback-URL receiver
3. Tests make XCU calls to vault and check responses
Fun! #ObsidianMD
Huge shoutout to @amerpie for his very, very positive review of my contextual #Shortcuts launcher #BarCuts. I'm positively blushing 🙏🏼
Lou is a prolific app reviewer (macOS), think of any app, and chances are he gave it a spin and wrote about it. His blog is a good resource for finding new things, is what I'm saying
@matt A.k.a., the Everything Bucket
I've just released #BarCuts 2025.0.6, which contains a fix for an issue with the #macOS 15.4 betas (which broke a CLI tool that BarCuts relied on). Had to rewrite the workflow runner code for that but oh well. 😅
So yeah, the beta is still ongoing, who knew? Hop on, you might like it. Or, if you're already participating (THANK YOU!), run "Check for updates…" from BarCuts' main menu!
Released v2025.0.4 β of my new #macOS app #BarCuts (https://actions.work/barcuts) last night, and I have a feeling that it'll be the last beta version before release! 🤞🏼
https://forum.actions.work/t/barcuts-beta-2025-0-4/616
(BarCuts shows your #Shortcuts workflows where you need them, when you need them. It's quite handy.)
Start your weekend in a good way with my NEW PUBLIC BETA:
BarCuts is a #macOS menu bar app that displays #Shortcuts workflows. It allows you to "tag" workflows to an application. When that app is active, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu. (It picks up changes to Shortcuts as you go along!)
It's under active development; I started working on it only 12 days ago, I'm very happy with the current state.
I'd love for you to test it! 🤙🏼
Boosts welcome 😅
I'm pretty excited, you guys

My new app Browser Actions adds #macOS #Shortcuts support for #GoogleChrome, #MicrosoftEdge, #Safari, #Vivaldi, #Chromium, and #BraveBrowser! Now you can use Shortcuts to …
- create, find, filter, manipulate browser windows/ tabs/ pages
- work with browser menus
- send keystrokes, mimic typing
- interact w/ pages, click and scroll
- fill out forms
- extract info, selection as plain text or #Markdown (tables and everything!), the current DOM, all text content, etc.
@JohannesStarke Re Obsidian: Wie synchronisierst Du die Vaults zum iPhone? iCloud oder Obsidian Sync? Wenn iCloud, aktiviere mal das iOS 18 'Keep Downloaded'-Feature für das Vault-Verzeichnis, das sollte schon helfen. (https://www.idownloadblog.com/2024/08/07/how-to-keep-icloud-drive-files-always-downloaded/)
Und solltest Du viele Plugins haben, deaktiviere die testweise mal selektiv auf iOS, nicht alle laufen super in der mobilen App.
