🎉 Happy New Year 🎉
New year, a new issue of the Everything Apple Newsletter. 2022 has gotten off to a good start, and I see a great year ahead for all things Apple.
Due to the holidays, not much happened around Apple, but there was a little. Therefore it is going to be a short newsletter this week.
Grab a coffee, tea, water, or whatever your thing is, and enjoy!

💬 Shortcuts Community
Frederik Riedel recently created a new app called, one sec that uses the Shortcuts Automation feature to be a “watchman” when you open a social media app. I have been using this and have been enjoying it.
one sec – fight the social media algorithm

Gain back control over your smartphone and app usage. one sec empowers you to spend more time in the real world by decoupling your brain from the perfidious psychologic traps social media companies add to their apps to make you addicted.

I came across a tweet from Justin Cox mentioning he updated his Shortcut for the Day One journal app. He added various thought-seeking questions. He shared a portion of the Shortcut for the community to get a glimpse of it.

📱 Apps Using Shortcuts
Stephen Hayes, the developer of the fantastic task tracking app, Recurrence, recently added Shortcuts support to the app. Now you can create Shortcuts to complete tasks and more without opening up the app.

🧑🏻‍💻 Developer's Den
Steve Troughton-Smith was so kind to centralize all of his sample code for Mac Catalyst into a GitHub list for everyone to access quickly. Thanks, Steve!

⭐️ I’ve put all of my Mac Catalyst sample code in one GitHub list to make it easier to find. Primarily UIKit-focused, it covers everything from preference windows to AppleScript to everything you see here https://t.co/wmPLacRha0 https://t.co/DdhX9PMsXq
With a HUGE announcement from the Swift Server Work Group, a brand new extension for Visual Studio Code was released, allowing developers to develop Swift packages outside of Xcode.
You can download it from the Visual Studio marketplace here.

Since I'm not running a public Testflight, I would appreciate feedback and ideas about this version (1.4) even more! https://t.co/3zVBeJcdm6
📰 Latest Apple News
The AirTags has been in the news lately and not in a good way. It seems that thieves are hiding them in cars to be able to track them and steal them at the right time.
The other day, I came across a tweet from a lady that said her half-sister found an AirTag in her luggage that wasn’t hers. 😳

The newest ad from Apple titled “911, what’s your emergency?”, really hits you in the feels. 🥺 It highlights how vital the Apple Watch is.

🧩 Update on my Shortcuts Gallery
It’s taking me longer than expected to get my Shortcuts gallery moved over from Airtable to my website. Currently, there are only two on my website. So, until I get them moved over, I will add the Airtable embed of my table consisting of all the Shortcuts. At least my Shortcuts will be available for anyone via my website. Be on the lookout for the table to be added shortly.
