5 Useful Shortcuts to Run on Your Apple Watch

Unlock the Power of Apple Watch Shortcuts: Five Essential Time-Savers

While you can't create shortcuts directly on your Apple Watch, you can leverage iPhone/Mac-created shortcuts for enhanced wrist-based functionality. Here are five shortcuts to boost your Apple Watch experience:

1. Instant Workout Start: Tired of scrolling through your Apple Watch app list to find your workout? This shortcut launches your preferred workout (with customizable goals) instantly.

   Create a new shortcut, search for "Start Workout," select your workout type and goal (Open Goal for flexible sessions or a specific goal), rename it, and enable "Show on Apple Watch."

   

   

2. ChatGPT on Your Wrist: Access ChatGPT's power directly from your Apple Watch. This shortcut lets you dictate a prompt, sends it to ChatGPT, and then reads the response aloud. (Note: This is slower than using ChatGPT on your phone or computer.)

   Create a shortcut: Use "Dictate Text," "Copy to Clipboard," "Ask ChatGPT" (using Clipboard as the message source, with "Show When Run" toggled off), "Set Variable" (to store the response), and "Speak Text." Remember to enable "Show on Apple Watch." You might need to grant permission for clipboard and dictation access on your iPhone to avoid repeated prompts on your Apple Watch.

   

   

3. One-Tap Messaging: Frequently send the same message to someone? This shortcut sends a pre-set message to a chosen contact with a single tap.

   Create a shortcut using the "Send Message" action. Enter your message and recipient(s). Enable "Show on Apple Watch."

   

   

4. Quick Note Creation: Jot down quick notes directly from your wrist. This shortcut dictates your note and saves it to your iPhone's Notes app.

   Create a shortcut: Use "Dictate Text," "Copy to Clipboard," "Set Variable" (to store the dictated text), and "Create Note" (with "Show When Run" off). Enable "Show on Apple Watch." You might need to grant permission for dictation access on your iPhone to avoid repeated prompts on your Apple Watch.

   

   

5. Effortless Water Intake Logging: Track your hydration easily. This shortcut lets you input your water intake (with a customizable default value) and logs it to the Health app.

   Create a shortcut using "Ask for Input" (set to Number, with optional default value), and "Log Health Sample" (set to Water). Enable "Show on Apple Watch."

   

   

These shortcuts significantly enhance your Apple Watch's capabilities. Add them to your Smart Stack or assign them to the Action Button (if you have an Apple Watch Ultra) for effortless access. Siri integration is also an option.
