TapShorts — New iOS app to connect Flic 2 buttons to iOS Shortcuts
-
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 interface
My 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 logging
Free 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?
