Club MacStories Town Halls are part of the monthly and other special live audio events we hold in the Club MacStories+ Discord community. The show is a recorded and lightly edited version of the Town Halls that we produce, so Club MacStories+ and Club Premier members who can’t attend the event live can listen later. To learn more about Club MacStories+ and Club Premier, visit our Club plans page.
For today’s live Town Hall, Federico and John were joined by Christopher Lawley to talk about how we use Shortcuts in our day-to-day work, ways to optimize shortcuts for sharing with others, and some of the core techniques we use for creating shortcuts.

Kolide is a SaaS app that sends employees important, timely, and relevant security recommendations concerning their Mac, Windows, and Linux devices, right inside Slack.
Kolide is perfect for organizations that want to move beyond a traditional lock-down model and move to one where employees are educated about security and device management while fixing nuanced problems. We call this approach Honest Security.
For example, Kolide can:
- Instruct developers to set passphrases on the unencrypted SSH keys littered throughout their devices.
- Find plain-text two-factor backup codes and teach end-users how to store them securely.
- Convince employees to uninstall evil (yet allowed) browser extensions that sell their browser history to marketing companies
You can try Kolide on an unlimited number of devices with all its features for free and without a credit card for 14 days.
Our thanks to Kolide for sponsoring MacStories this week.
