What is Shortery?

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Shortery

  • Create a New Automation: Open Shortery and click “New Automation”.
  • Select a Trigger: A trigger is the event that activates your shortcut. For example, you can choose the Application Trigger so that your shortcut runs whenever a specific app opens or closes.
  • Name and Group Your Automation: Give your automation a clear name and, if desired, assign it to a group.
  • Choose the Shortcut to Run: Next, select the shortcut you want to run automatically. – This could be anything from a workflow that cleans your desktop to one that opens your favorite work apps.
  • Configure System and App Options:
    • Decide whether the shortcut should run even when your system is locked.
    • Then select the application that Shortery will watch, and define which event the automation should respond to—such as when the app opens, closes, or becomes active.
