Aidan Maurin-Jones shares tools, automations, and thoughts on whatever’s interesting this week.
Where To Watch is a Shortcut that searches TMDb for movies or shows and instantly tells you where they’re streaming in your region, opening the JustWatch page in Safari or showing if it’s unavailable.
I built a macOS Shortcut that lets me scan QR codes right from my screen. It grabs a screenshot, sends it to the QRServer API to decode, and opens the link in Safari—handling errors smoothly so I don’t need my iPhone or extra apps.
I automated MacBook charging with Shortcuts, Home Assistant, and BetterTouchTool. Two Shortcuts manage charging based on battery level and verify charger state, while BetterTouchTool triggers them at key moments. The setup ensures smarter charging and alerts me if something goes wrong.
Shortcut for real-time TTC service alerts in a clean, scannable view.
A Shortcut that pulls Toronto’s beach water quality data and shows a simple, color-coded report in Safari.
