Shortcuts app makes it possible for iOS users to create useful shortcuts and perform various different actions with ease. While the Shortcuts app is full of very powerful and complex actions there’s a lot that is missing from the stock app.
That’s where the Toolbox Pro app comes in. This is a companion app for Apple’s Shortcuts app that lets you take advantage of over 130 new actions inside Shortcuts.
When you launch the Toolbox Pro app you get a list of tools and examples of how you can take advantage of the tools. However to take advantage of these tools you have to open the Shortcuts app and search for “Toolbox” when adding an action.
Some of the new tools that you get access to thanks to the Toolbox Pro app include the following:
- OCR functionality
- Document Scanner
- Biometric Authetnication
- Icon Generator
- Menu Creator
- Ability to recognize objects in images with machine learning
- Full-screen text input box
- Transcribe speech from audio files
- Ability to store data in global variables between shortcuts and devices
- and more…
Toolbox Pro app follows a premium model in which you can unlock everything with an in-app purchase. You do get access to around 40 tools for free without getting a premium subscription, which is nice.
You can download the Toolbox Pro app from the App Store where it is available as a free download.
