About Pushcut
What is Pushcut?
Pushcut is an iOS app that supercharges Apple Shortcuts, HomeKit, and widgets. It lets you create custom, actionable notifications that appear based on time, location, or HomeKit triggers. You can add buttons to notifications to run shortcuts, call webhooks, or trigger integrations—making your iPhone work smarter without constant manual input.
Who is it for?
Pushcut is designed for power users, home automators, and productivity enthusiasts who want to automate iOS workflows beyond what Shortcuts alone can do. It’s ideal for anyone who needs background automation, server-triggered shortcuts, or widgets that update dynamically. If you only want simple reminders, this is overkill; Pushcut is for those who want to control devices, run webhooks, and chain complex automations from notifications.
Real use cases
Smart Home: Convert HomeKit actions to Shortcuts and trigger them from notifications. Use location or time triggers to run scenes automatically.
Background Automation: Run Shortcuts and HomeKit scenes 100% in the background via the Automation Server, triggered from anywhere—even from IFTTT, Zapier, or Make.
Custom Widgets: Create personal widgets that run shortcuts or HomeKit scenes when tapped, and update content via automations.
Actionable Notifications: Send notifications that include images, default actions, and multiple choices—then update or remove them automatically.
