Scriptable is by far one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. As a website developer, using JavaScript to program iOS shortcuts is like a dream come true. With the no ads and no premium subscription, it’s an app that I would definitely recommend to anyone with a background in programming. With that being said, I do have a few bugs and feature requests for the developer. The features include: - Word wrap toggle: on iPhone, it’s a pain to have to enter landscape mode just to make sure all the indentations are as they should be. A word wrap toggle would be a big help. - Theme choices: we should have the option to use a different theme for light/dark mode (for example: one dark pro, etc) - TypeScript support: this is pretty self-explanatory And the bug: - Accessing Contact and ContactsContainer in a widget results in a blank widget. However, this does seem to work if you preview the widget in-app using present. Should Be An Editor’s Choice App Scriptable is by far one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded.

So you now how Scriptable only reads JavaScript, right. If so, then you know what I’m talking about. But I have a big favor to ask of you. Please add support for HTML. That’s like, the ONLY coding language I know. So, once again, please add HTML support. -IvanGames12321 Great, but needs a MAJOR update. So you now how Scriptable only reads JavaScript, right.

I have been preparing for a talk at upcoming Claris Engage conference to be held in Austin, TX - I have been using it to fetch FileMaker data and surface that data in different ways. As a small chart or list of top sales, but there are so many possibilities. A big thank you to Simon for making this great tool freely available. Combine this with Siri and shortcuts and there are incredible on demand interactions that we can deliver. Scriptable is so cool!

This app is the all purpose app for the ubiquitous all purpose computer we carry with us everywhere. I know almost nothing and yet I was able to make my phone do what no other app available would do. Also, it was recommended by Chat GPT based upon my query! Just The Tip This app is the all purpose app for the ubiquitous all purpose computer we carry with us everywhere.
