Open and create a shortcut using a URL scheme on Mac

The Shortcuts URL scheme allows you to open the app, create, run or edit a shortcut, and interact with the Gallery in the Shortcuts app. URL schemes can be used anywhere a URL can be used — your own app, in a web browser or in the command line.

Open Shortcuts using a URL scheme

Open the URL shortcuts:// to launch the app to the state when it was last used.

Create a new shortcut using a URL scheme

Open the URL shortcuts://create-shortcut to jump to the shortcut editor and create a new shortcut.

Open a specific shortcut using a URL scheme

You can launch the app to a particular shortcut in your collection.

Open a URL with the following structure: shortcuts://open-shortcut?name=[name] and provide the name of the shortcut in the name parameter.
