Execute Apple Shortcuts on your iPhone or Mac. Control your Apple TV. Trigger system actions like Mission Control and Lock Screen.
The target property controls where your Shortcut runs.
Default
Runs the Shortcut on your iPhone. Required for Apple TV Remote, HomeKit scenes, and iOS-only Shortcut actions.
Mac-specific
Sends the command to your Mac, which runs the Shortcut via AppleScript. For Mac-specific automations.
Shortcuts, system actions, and Apple TV control — all in YAML.
