What this shortcut does
Cyclone is a Shortcut that adds new features to Shortcuts. install it once and use any of its tools from any shortcut you build, no extra apps, no complicated setup. it auto-updates itself, so you're always on the latest version without doing anything. it’s fully released and backwards compatible, meaning your existing implementations won't break between ⚡ performance Cyclone loads in under 0.5 seconds — several times faster than comparable libraries. it only runs what your shortcut actually needs, nothing more. 🌀 features 📦 packages (new in v3) turn repetitive blocks into reusable functions! define a package once and call it from any shortcut. no more copy-pasting the same logic everywhere. 🌎 global variables save data that persists between runs and share it across multiple shortcuts using a project name. any shortcut using the same project name can read and write to the same variables. 🖼️ styled menus and screens markdown screens with custom colors and layouts, way beyond what native Shortcuts can render. menus with images and descriptions instead of plain text lists ⬆️ updater a QuickUpdate function to use in your shortcuts, to check for new versions easily 🧠 better dictionaries & lists merge, filter, and manipulate dictionaries and lists without the workarounds native Shortcuts forces on you. 🔒 encryption password-lock sensitive data. encrypt and decrypt without long, messy native implementations. 🌸 AI functions free, private AI tools built directly into Cyclone, not available in any other library. see the docs for the full list 🔮 coming soon 🌧️ CyCloud hosting store text online and pull it into any shortcut, from anywhere. 🏁 how to start get the Cyclone Loader Shortcut → read the quick guide → you're ready ✅ compatibility OS Support iOS + iPadOS 17 ↓ ❌ macOS 14 ↓ ❌ iOS + iPadOS 18.0 – 18.6 ✅ macOS 15.0 – 15.6 ✅ iOS + iPadOS + macOS 26 ✅ 💬 community join the Discord to see what others are building or share your own shortcuts. ❤️ dependency badge add this badge to support Cyclone or just as a dependency [](
