Scriptables

A small repo containing all of my Scriptable scripts (iOS Automation API).

So what is Scriptable?

Scriptable is a mobile application for iOS created to enable the ordinary consumer to integrate with iOS' backend. Its simple syntax allows for lots of flexability. Scriptable uses Javascript. Scriptable of course also allows for developers to prototype, test, preview, and much more.

Scriptable, according to their website, currently consists of the following features:

Plain Javascript

• Supports JavaScript ES6. Scripts are stored as plain JS files on disk.

Native APIs

• Integrate with the native APIs of iOS directly from JavaScript.

Siri Shortcuts

• Run scripts from Siri Shortcuts. Present tables, websites, HTML and more in Siri.

Documentation

• All native APIs that are bridged to JavaScript have documentation which is available offline.

Share Sheet Extension

• Run a script from a share sheet and process the inputs.

Files Integration

• Integrated with the file system and Files.app enabling you to perform operations on files.

Customizable

• The editor can be customized to match your preferences.

Example scripts

• Comes with several example scripts to get you started.

x-callback-url

• Communicate with other apps using x-callback-url.

By using Scriptable, you have the benefit of easily integrating with iOS, the least dynamic OS on the planet, without the need for a Developer license; it's a great tool in my opinion.

Why?

I created this repository in hopes that it will inspire and/or help others with their journey as a developer. However, I also created this repository for my own benefit of gathering what I have created using this application into one standalone project — it's a win-win, really! Later, maybe even by the time you're reading this, I would like to use this project to create one of few (that I've seen), if any, tutorials to showcase what Scriptable is capable of, and to create inspiration from.

Thank you for reading. :)
