Quick access to your shortcuts from the Shortcuts app right from the menu bar. Since shortcuts can open URLs, folders, apps, and run shell scripts or AppleScript, you can put virtually any action in your menu bar. ■ Features • Instant Access – All your favorite shortcuts available from the menu bar • Smart Organization – Organize shortcuts into sections and submenus • Linked Folders – Display folders from the Shortcuts app dynamically • App-Specific Shortcuts – Show different shortcuts based on the active app • Keyboard Shortcut – Toggle the menu with a customizable hotkey • Quick Keys – Assign 1-9 and a-z keys to shortcuts for instant triggering when menu is open • Customizable Menu Bar Icon – Choose between multiple menu bar icons to match your style • Launch at Login – Always ready when you need it ■ Perfect For • Developers who frequently run build scripts and utilities • Content creators with media processing workflows • Power users with automation routines • Anyone who wants faster access to their shortcuts ■ FAQ ‣ How is this different from the built-in Shortcuts menu bar item? The built-in menu bar item shows shortcuts in one long, unorganized list. Short Run benefits: • Choose the order of shortcuts • Organize shortcuts into sections and submenus • Show some shortcuts only when a specific app is active • Assign quick keys (1-9, a-z) to shortcuts for instant triggering when menu is open • Cleaner interface with just the shortcut name • Menu closes automatically when running a shortcut • Open the menu with a keyboard shortcut and navigate to shortcuts using arrow keys • Customizable menu bar icon and menu width More FAQs on the website. ■ URL Scheme Supports the “shortrun://” URL scheme for running shortcuts silently in the background without opening the Shortcuts app. Works exactly like the standard Shortcuts URL scheme “shortcuts://” but executes silently. Perfect for automation workflows and third-party integrations. ■ Privacy Your data never leaves your device. The app is built without internet permissions (no network entitlement), so macOS prevents it from connecting to the internet even if it wanted to.
