Ratings and reviews

I’ve been getting more into automation on my iPhone lately, and after spending some time with Pushcut: Shortcuts Automation, I can honestly say it’s one of those apps that feels a bit overwhelming at first—but really powerful once it clicks. I used it for about 20–30 minutes to set up a simple workflow for my daily routine. I created a notification that pops up when I leave work, and from there I can trigger a shortcut that starts my “drive home” setup (music, directions, and a quick message.

I have a SMTP library for home lab automation to notify me when there's any errors in my scripts or just at specific events. this was a really easy transition to get my notifications on my phone with a different notification sound than my regular email. I'm not thrilled that it's not free, but it's lifetime license so that's better than subscription.

Pushover is incredible--super fast and lightweight, easy to set up with flexible options for receiving notifications and acting on them. I set it up to receive and deliver email messages, and it works great and alerts me right away. I wanted to get alerts at night when my phone is on silent, so I set up DND with an exception for Pushover. At first when I tried to add the exception, Pushover didn't show up in the list of apps, but then I enabled DND and then it showed up. Highly recommended app!
