Privacy Policy

The short version #

• You don’t create an account with Shortcutify, and we don’t run a server that your actions pass through.
• Your service credentials, saved actions and run logs are stored on your device.
• When an action runs, your device talks directly to the service you connected, such as Notion or Spotify.
• The app has no advertising, no analytics SDK, and does not track you across apps or websites.
• Tips are optional. They are offered through RevenueCat, which gives your copy of the app a random identifier and records any tip you leave. Apple handles the payment.

Shortcutify is made by Guram Kajaia. This policy covers the Shortcutify app for iPhone and iPad and the website at getshortcutify.app.

What stays on your device #

Service credentials. The API keys, tokens and client details you enter to connect a service are stored in the iOS Keychain. They are shared only between the app and its Shortcuts extension, and Shortcutify never sends them to us. Each one is sent only to the service it belongs to, to sign in or to authorize a request.

Saved actions. The actions you build, including any fixed text or values you typed into them, are saved as files on your device.

Run logs. The app keeps a record of the most recent 200 runs so you can see what happened. A record includes the request each step sent and the response that came back, so it can contain your content. Sign-in headers are never recorded, and values under names such as password, token or key are masked before a record is written. Older records are deleted automatically, and you can delete all of them at any time from the menu in Logs, with Clear All Logs.

Because this data lives on your device, Apple may include it in the device backups you have turned on. Those backups are governed by your Apple account, not by Shortcutify.

What goes to the services you connect #

Running or testing an action sends a request from your device to the service that action uses. The request contains whatever the action needs: the text, files, IDs or other values you supplied in the app or from your shortcut. The service’s reply comes back to your device. There is no Shortcutify server in between.

The services you can connect today are Notion, Airtable, GitHub, Spotify, Dropbox, Philips Hue, YouTube and YouTube Analytics (Google), and Jev (TypeSafe). Each one handles what you send it under its own privacy policy and the terms of your account with it. You decide which services to connect and can disconnect any of them in the app.

Signing in. Some services sign you in through a web page and then return you to the app through the address auth.getshortcutify.app. Normally iOS hands that return straight to the app on your device. If it can’t, your browser loads a small page at that address whose only job is to pass the sign-in result back to the app. The page does not store it, and the result is of no use without credentials that are held on your device.

Describe It #

On supported devices, Describe It drafts an action from a sentence you type. To do that, your description is processed by Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, the system behind Apple Intelligence. While drafting, the app may also look up the names of items in your connected accounts, such as the tables in a Notion page, and include them so the draft points at the right thing.

That processing is done by Apple, not by Shortcutify, and we never receive your description or the draft. Apple describes how Private Cloud Compute protects requests in its security documentation. Describe It only writes a draft for you to review; it does not run anything.

Finding actions by what they do uses a small search model inside the app. That search happens entirely on your device.

Tips #

Tips are optional and unlock nothing. If you leave one, Apple processes the payment through your Apple account. We never see your name, your card or your Apple account details.

We use RevenueCat to offer and record tips. The app contacts RevenueCat when it opens, whether or not you ever leave a tip, and RevenueCat’s software creates a random identifier for your copy of the app. Like any online service, RevenueCat also receives technical details such as your app version, iOS version and IP address. If you leave a tip, it records which tip it was, its price and currency, the App Store country, and when it happened. We use this only to see that tips were received.

What we don’t collect #

• No name, email address or account, because the app has none.
• No analytics about which actions you build or run.
• No advertising identifiers, and no data shared with advertisers or data brokers.
• No copies of your credentials, your actions, your logs, or the content your actions send and receive.

If you have chosen in iOS Settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple gives us anonymous, aggregated statistics and crash reports for the app. That sharing is controlled by your iOS settings.

This website #

getshortcutify.app is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics scripts and loads nothing from other companies. If you pick a light or dark appearance, that choice is saved in your own browser.

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, processes your IP address and basic request details in order to deliver pages and protect the site.

Your choices #

• Disconnect a service. Open the service in Services and choose Disconnect. This removes its credentials from your device. To withdraw the access itself, also revoke the token or app in that service’s own settings.
• Clear your logs. Open the menu in Logs and choose Clear All Logs.
• Delete an action. Delete it from the Actions list.
• Remove everything. Disconnect your services first, then delete the app. iOS can keep Keychain items after an app is deleted, which is why disconnecting first matters.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you and to have it deleted. The only data held on our behalf is the random identifier and any tip record described above, kept by RevenueCat. To ask about it, write to [email protected].

Children #

Shortcutify is a tool for people who manage their own accounts with other services. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Changes and contact #

If the app or this site starts handling data differently, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
