BarCuts
A macOS menu bar app that surfaces your relevant Shortcuts workflows when you need them. "Tag" workflows to an application, and when that app is in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu, ready for you to access.
For macOS 14 and later.

A Surprisingly Useful
macOS Shortcuts Launcher.
Workflows by context. Sub menus. Keyboard support.
And lots of German engineering love.
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, Finder. Now, any time you open Finder, BarCuts' menu bar will list that workflow
in its menu. Clicking it will run it.
That's it. That's the pitch.
The menu can also be opened by a global keyboard shortcut, you can put your workflows in sub menus, and there's
a separate section for all those important always-available workflows.
Naturally, BarCuts comes with scripting support, and you
can also hook it up to Alfred or
plug it into Raycast.
It looks good, it feels right, it will (probably) make you use your macOS Shortcuts workflows much more.
Here's the What, How, and Why.
In less than 5 mins, you'll see all the big features, and learn what it does better than Apple's native offering. In a hurry? The first minute gives you the basics. Efficiency!
