iPhone Macro App
Everyone that has used word processors and spreadsheets on a regular basis is likely familiar with using macros that record a combination of keystrokes and commands and assigned a key-combination for future use.
Did you know that iPhones also have a tool available which allows for a similar creation of macros? It’s possible with an app called Workflow!
The Workflow app provides users with the ability to create automated interactions between popular apps on the phone and it’s done by simply ‘dragging and dropping’ the tasks you want to work with.
With over two hundred different ‘actions’ you can setup processes between contacts, calendars, reminders, your browser, reminders, maps, music, photos, your camera and even things like AirDrop, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Evernote and your iCloud account.
For instance, road warriors that often are in search of a nearby coffee shop can create a single tap function in Workflow to make it fast every time.
There are lots of existing workflows created by others that you can use in their gallery, so you don’t even have to create your own to get started.
Anyone wanting to kick their iPhone into high gear should look into the Workflow app in Apple’s App store.
