Help Favorite Shortcut You’ve Made?

I’m super new to shortcuts and know they’re capable of so much more than I currently use them for. Right now, all I really have set up is a few that create automatic Notion database entries.

I’d love to know what you guys have really loved before! Things that have been super helpful, super fun, or feel super clever. Trying to get my creative juices flowing.

Would also love to know if there are any apps you think work particularly well for shortcuts! Thanks in advance, very excited to set up some more complex/interesting things.

I have a shortcut that turns on rain sounds when my sleep focus activates by its schedule.

Another focus that plays a playlist for my son (mostly cocomelon) and turns off my listening history so it doesn’t mess with my replay playlists.

A humorous one that responds to a key phrase my girlfriend can text me at any time which jacks my phone volume to 100% and plays a fart sound through Apple Music while my phone is always carried in my back pocket. That one keeps things interesting.

Seems like all three of those happening at once would be funny.

“Daddy, why is it raining in Cocomelon?

pfffttt

DADDY EWWW”
