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 actions

Would love feedback from fellow Flic users. What shortcuts are you running with your buttons?

@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.

@martin-duggan This should be now fixed! Looking forward to your feedback

@domen-zupanc Would love to give it a go but not available in Australia on the iPhone AppStore - assuming it works okay you'd have at least one paying user here!
