Turn Apple Shortcuts into Live Activities on Your iPhone

Bring your shortcuts to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Create custom Live Activities, personalize icons, and trigger another shortcut

Turn your shortcuts into Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Live Shortcut puts the information from your automations where you can see it. Create a quick note in the app, or use Apple Shortcuts to display text from your own workflows.

YOUR SHORTCUTS, AT A GLANCE

Keep a reminder in sight, show a workflow result, or display a message when an automation runs.

BUILT AROUND YOUR ROUTINE

Choose what appears and when using your own Shortcuts automations. For example, display a garage-door reminder after your shortcut checks whether the door is open.

MAKE IT YOURS

Personalize your Live Activities with icons and color themes. Support for triggering another shortcut helps connect the next step in your workflow.

MORE WITH PREMIUM

Unlock additional customization, custom and built-in icons, multiple Live Activities, and control over which activities to end using identifiers. Premium is a one-time purchase that also removes ads.

Create your first Live Activity and put your shortcuts in sight.

Requires iOS 16.4 or later. Dynamic Island requires a compatible iPhone. Live Activity duration and visibility are managed by iOS. Some features require Premium.

Feature Request: Custom Dynamic Island Outline Color & Silent Live Activity Start

Anavrin1990

Hi! Could you please add two options for Live Activities / Dynamic Island?1. Custom outline color — an option to change the Dynamic Island outline/keyline color instead of using the fixed red color.2. Disable the expanded popup on start — when a Live Activity is started, Dynamic Island briefly expands into a large notification/banner. It would be great to have an option to start it silently in the compact state without showing this expanded message.I’m using Live Shortcut as a persistent VPN status indicator, so both options would make it much cleaner and less intrusive.

Love it but…

Super helpful app (for a feature apple should have put into shortcuts themselves) but very often the icon reverts to the normal icon instead of the custom one despite having paid for the app. I use it to display the date and at some point it just switches back to the normal icon.

Great app just missing one feature

I love the app as it easily allows me to see when certain apps are launched and running such as vpn. I would really love if I can set an app target to open when I click on the live tile.

Really cool app

I’ve purchased the app my only wish is for more customizations of the live event. More color options, font options, expanded view etc, better images instead of just emojis
