@domen-zupanc Love the idea behind your app, subscribed and tested some shortcuts. It seems you need to click the screen and unlock the phone for any of the shortcuts to run or am I missing a setting? Liked the idea of using it during a walk or run if that is possible without opening the app and clicking the screen.

Hey Flic community!
I just released TapShorts on the App Store — it's an iOS app purpose-built to connect your Flic 2 buttons to iOS Shortcuts.
Why I built this: I wanted a dead-simple, dedicated app for triggering iOS Shortcuts with my Flic 2. I wanted something laser-focused on the Shortcuts integration with a clean UI and curated templates.
What it does:
Connect your Flic 2 via Bluetooth Assign any iOS Shortcut to single press, double press, or long press 20+ pre-built shortcut templates across 5 categories (productivity, media, communication, smart home, accessibility) Background execution support Clean SwiftUI interfaceMy favorite use case — learning on the go:
I clip a Flic button to my jacket or bike handlebars while listening to a podcast or audiobook. When I hear a word or concept I don't understand, I single press the button to open AI voice mode, ask my question, learn something new — then double press to continue my podcast/audiobook. No fumbling with my phone, no stopping my run. It's like having a "curiosity button" that lets you learn in the moment without breaking your flow.Other use cases:
Desk: focus timer, music control, DND toggle Bedside: lights, alarm, good night routine Car: send ETA, play playlist, hands-free calling Kitchen: cooking timers, shopping list, recipe podcasts Accessibility: emergency SOS, call caregiver, medication loggingFree tier: 1 button, single-press shortcuts
Pro ($1.99/mo): double press + long press actionsWould love feedback from fellow Flic users. What shortcuts are you running with your buttons?

Hi, apologies if this feature has already been requested... my flic twist arrived today and I think its a really neat device with some really cool options built in.
However, currently I do most of my automation through Alexa, and the built in rotary setups aren't amazing when working with Alexa as they focus on having direct control of the lights/devices themselves to do fades and transitions rather than through another layer of control. They also trigger as I pass through a point rather than waiting until I stop at a location.
I'd love to have a simple rotary dial option that when I twist the twist to each of the 12 points, it will then trigger an action (in my case, an Alexa command).
Ideally, it wouldn't send the action until the rotation has stopped, so I don't have multiple Alexa routines all trying to run at the same time which compete in what they then trigger further down.
It would also be great to see Govee integration, as they make really great kit which all mine is (I wouldn't actually need Alexa then at all!).
Love the flic range and great to see it continuing to be developed. Hope this is something that can be added soon.
Thanks

Is there really no way to custom sort or alphabetize buttons in the hub?
Even if I remove, reset, and add button back they seem to be placed randomly. Some in the first spot, some in the last, some in the middle.

Using the iOS framework how can I check if a FlicButton instance is a Flic Duo or a regular Flic 2 Button?
