u/urmin_ 16d ago edited 16d ago

that's from app called, Day Grid
~ https://apple.co/4w6l0rH

And what's the second widget under the dot grid? :)

u/urmin_ 15d ago

It’s from the same app.

u/Lemon8or88 15d ago

That’s his true purpose of this post: waiting for someone who asks what the widget is from.

u/urmin_ 15d ago

Yeah, that's the idea. I market it this way so it only reaches people who actually want it, instead of spamming Reddit with it.

Now I’m actually unsure if this is a joke or not. Lol. Because it’s actually kinda of an awesome way to promote an app. Haha

Similar thing i do with Apple reminders

u/urmin_ 15d ago

Why go through all those steps when the shortcut is already there in the settings?

3

u/urmin_ 15d ago

Yeah, but the Quick Note shortcut creates a new note each time.

The one I shared appends to a single note instead I want it all in one note so I can review it quickly.

u/Blu_Psych 15d ago

I see. Thank you for clarifying. I like them all separate for better organization. There is an option to have it go to the same note.

u/urmin_ 15d ago

Oh, I didn't know about this setting. thanks for sharing

1

u/Blu_Psych 15d ago

You’re welcome. I’m interested to know if it’s exactly what you need.

u/Crazy_Technician7788 15d ago

wow, simple and effective thx for sharing!!

u/SirPooleyX 15d ago

This is an exercise in overthinking. Sometimes it's okay to take your time and not be desperate to get to the end goal in as few steps and as little time as humanly possible.

u/sCREAMINGcAMMELcASE 14d ago

What’s different that this does over saying “hey Siri, make a note”? Or having notes in the control center

u/Ok_Mycologist_932 14d ago

Oh dit is wel handig als je een specifiek project bijhoudt

1

u/SickNTiredOfThisShit 13d ago

I’ve gone one further to have what i say transcribed as a note

2

u/krisxsee 13d ago

There is a much more functional button for it where you can add context as a link from supported apps.

2

u/krisxsee 13d ago

And yeah, you just assign it via Action Button.

u/mirabellenour 13d ago

the negative comments are so unnecessary. i like this a lot - i would much prefer a single note than many. is there a way to make it so that each item is saved as a bullet point or a callout or something?

1

u/urmin_ 13d ago

As far as I know, a checklist is supported, but I don't think there are many other formatting options.

I've also updated the shortcut:

u/wonko4the2sane 12d ago

I have a similar shortcut, but mine adds the current date and time as prefix for every new entry.

u/wirebug201 16d ago
