BarCuts
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 and in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu.
Currently in development for macOS 14 and later.
Here's how it works.
In the Shortcuts editor, open one of your workflows. Add the BarCuts Tagger action to it,
and pick an application from its dropdown — for example, Safari.
Open the selected application (Safari, in this example). The BarCuts menu bar will list
that workflow in its menu. Click the menu entry to run the workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this app exist?
Shortcuts allows you to pin workflows to its menu bar, true. But there's neither structure nor nuance. It
just shows the workflows in an ugly, un-macOS-like menu. All of them. All the time.
I wanted better, so here we are.
