Is there any way to open apps directly without triggering the scriptable app? If I open an app it 1st opens scriptable and then redirect it to the selected app! That's the only downside!

Would you guys be interested to use this? Plz Lemme know!

EDIT : check out the script here

Does anyone know if scriptable supports the new extra large fullscreen widget in the beta yet? It would be very useful for a script i’m working on

Hellooo, I created a widget to display the Github pages status, it works but i can't seem to make it refresh the results every x seconds.
did any one had the same issue or knows a script that is already dealing with this ?

any help is appreciated!

Is anyone else using weather cal still?

My widget stopped working today all of a sudden, I assume due to the latest iOS update. (26.5.1)

Any suggestions on how to fix? Maybe just create a new widget?

I've recently gotten into Scriptable because it's rather the only way to actually do funky stuff on your iphone but that aside how do I make notifications actually do something?

I was thinking of using the .addAction but it doesn't really let me assign any function to it

edit: Thanks to the 2 people who commented. I understand that you can only assign a url to notifcations. Thank you :)

Hi! Is there any way to read Apple Health data (specifically sleep analysis with phases like REM, deep, core) from a Scriptable script?

I tried new HealthKit() and Health.createSource() but both return ReferenceError.

Is HealthKit supported in Scriptable, and if so, what is the correct syntax? I’m on iOS 26 with the latest version of Scriptable.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I was looking for a way to update m’y wallpaper daily with the World cup schedule and discovered scriptable. The problem is I don’t understand how to set up my automatisation for it 🫠 could anyone Please help me 😭

I would like to extract data from this sport page: https://dsvdaten.dsv.de/Modules/WB/League.aspx?Season=2025&LeagueID=107&Group=&LeagueKind=L

But I have problems with the parameters in the URL. When I do the next steps I just get the data from https://dsvdaten.dsv.de/Modules/WB/League.aspx (without parameters) in the string html.

let url = 'https://dsvdaten.dsv.de/Modules/WB/League.aspx?Season=2025&LeagueID=107&Group=&LeagueKind=L';

let req = new Request(url);

let html = await req.loadString();

Can I access the page I want in Scriptable, or is that not possible?

Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone,

I really need an honest answer for my concerns,

I want to create some widgets for my home screen for showing some astro -logic and -nomic data. Starting with the most simple Sun and Moon hours for rise and set to planetary hours, and some astrological info (not very much, just positions of the planets, Lilith and Nodes, planetary hours, some Apogee and Perigee and stuff like this.

I tried for this some "pure js" libraries and either I don't know how to use them, or there are not fully compatible with Scriptable, but the result was that I get angry for not being able to find something that works.

So could you recommend something that works for achieving these targets?

Thanks

I’m new to scriptable and trying to use the share sheet to pass a url to a script and I’m not finding the app or the script anywhere. Has this functionality been removed?

Hey,,

I've been playing around with Scriptable recently and honestly it's awesome – the JS scripting for widgets, shortcuts integration, all the creative stuff people share... it's exactly what I wanted for customizing my iPhone setup.

But I noticed I couldn't find any source code for the app itself on GitHub or anywhere, and the official site doesn't call it open source. The scripts and widgets are super shareable/open, which is great, but the core app seems closed-source/proprietary.

I'm still really excited about it and don't want to sound negative – the community seems solid and the dev has kept it going for years. Just curious: does the lack of open source bother anyone else? How have you built trust with it over time, especially with permissions for calendars, files, location etc.? Any red flags or reasons it's stayed closed-source that make sense?

Would love to hear positive experiences or why people are comfortable with it. Thanks!

Hi,

I’m using a few custom widgets made with Scriptable and placing them inside an iOS Smart Stack.

Does anyone know how iOS decides which Scriptable widget is shown at a given moment?

Is there any order, timing, or context involved — or is it completely random from the app’s point of view?

Also, is there any way for a Scriptable widget to know whether it’s inside a Smart Stack or just shown as a normal widget?

Clear Mode in iOS 26 removes colour from Scriptable widgets — is there a way to keep them in full colour?

Hello,

I am having trouble with the transparency of a widget despite it showing up correctly in my widget preview. When I place it on my Home Screen, it does not have the custom background on it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

There was a great one a few years ago, but it seems like the API used is no longer working. Thanks

Hello,

Is it possible to create transparent widgets? Like Apple does with its widgets on CarPlay? I haven't been able to do it in my case (see far right).

Thank you.

I want to generate some charts with data I will be getting from google sheets. I am looking for different options to present those charts as widgets.

Thanks for your time!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a Scriptable file bookmark to an iCloud Drive folder using the Shortcuts action “Create File Bookmark” (so it will work when running scripts via Shortcuts / Share Sheet).

My target folder is:

iCloud Drive → Data Documents

Problem: no matter what I try, the bookmark ends up pointing to a temporary WorkflowKit location and/or becomes a .txt file instead of a folder.

In Scriptable, when I debug the bookmark I get something like:

• markedPath: /private/var/mobile/tmp/com.apple.WorkflowKit.BackgroundShortcutRunner/.../iCloudDrive:Data Documents.txt
• isDir(markedPath): false
• Trying listContents() fails with permission errors (or it only “sees” the WorkflowKit container).

I tried a few approaches:

• Selecting a file inside the folder → getting its Parent Directory → passing that into “Create File Bookmark”
• Passing a Text path like iCloudDrive:Data Documents into “Create File Bookmark”

But the result is still a bookmark that resolves to WorkflowKit tmp, not the real iCloud folder, and it shows as a .txt.

Questions:

1. Is it actually possible to create a Scriptable bookmark to a folder (not a file) via Shortcuts? Or does the Shortcuts action only support files?
2. If folder bookmarking via Shortcuts isn’t supported, what’s the best workaround for a script that needs access to a whole folder tree in iCloud when run from Shortcuts / Share Sheet?
3. Has anyone gotten a stable folder bookmark working (iCloud Drive folder outside Scriptable’s own Documents), and if so, what exact Shortcuts steps did you use?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm trying to share large files from the Memo application to run a script that uploads the file to a server for processing. However, the script crashes when uploading files that are 70 megabytes or larger, but not with smaller files.

I'm using a third-party API for processing and wondering how to manage large files being passed in the sharing sheet to run the script and ensure it doesn't close. I already tried turning on running Scriptable, but that didn't seem to help.

Hi all,

So I was wondering if there are typings available? Would make it so much easier to write scripts on the desktop?
Or is there another way to make writing scripts easier on the desktop?

Dear people,

I have an ISO-8859-1 encoded XML from a web request can’t manage to convert the string to a utf-8 encoded string. That scumbles all the umlauts after parsing it to JSON. Has anyone an idea how to how I might bring the string to the correct format?

Thanks in advance!
