Your Shortcuts, one click away
Your Shortcuts, one click away
TopStart App is a macOS utility that functions as a menu bar launcher for Apple Shortcuts. The application allows users to pin their frequently used shortcuts to the menu bar and run them with a single click or a keyboard hotkey. It operates without a dock icon and does not require opening the Shortcuts application to execute commands. The software is designed for macOS 14 or later running on Apple Silicon and requires the Shortcuts app to be installed on the system. It is a one time purchase priced at $4.99, with a license key emailed to the buyer after purchase, and updates are delivered directly from the developer's website. The application includes several features for accessing and organizing shortcuts. Users can pin shortcuts to the menu bar for one click execution. A Spotlight style palette, accessible by a configurable global hotkey (default Option+Command+T), allows users to filter and select shortcuts by typing. Individual pinned shortcuts can be assigned their own key combinations for direct launch. The app supports grouping shortcuts into sections such as Work and Personal, and it can launch automatically at login. A batch run feature allows the entire pinned set to execute sequentially in two second intervals to avoid system strain. Typical use cases involve users who run Apple Shortcuts frequently and want faster access than navigating through the Shortcuts app. The workflow centers on pinning shortcuts to the menu bar, assigning hotkeys to the most used ones, and using the palette for less frequent commands. The application runs from a single menu bar icon and remains out of sight until needed. It does not require an account, does not collect data, and keeps all shortcuts stored locally on the user's Mac.
