BarCuts ​

BarCuts is a macOS menu bar app for running Shortcuts workflows. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate BarCuts URL scheme links for querying available workflows and running local workflows.

Usage ​

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.

On-Demand
Recommended. Optimized for production.
Full Import
Convenient. Good for quick scripts.

Notes ​

BarCuts documents barcuts://workflows for querying active and global workflows. The request can include x-success and x-error; on success, BarCuts calls the success URL with a data parameter containing the workflow list.

BarCuts also documents barcuts://run-workflow with either an id parameter or a title parameter. The optional input parameter passes text to the workflow. Protocol Launcher exposes only those documented URL shapes and parameters.

Workflows ​

On-Demand
ts
import { workflows } from 'protocol-launcher/barcuts'

const url = workflows({
  xSuccess: 'my-app://success',
  xError: 'my-app://failure',
})

Run Workflow By ID ​

On-Demand
ts
import { runWorkflowById } from 'protocol-launcher/barcuts'

const url = runWorkflowById({
  id: '17620440-E9E8-4B5C-9C7A-9B60C24DD428',
})

Run Workflow By Title ​

On-Demand
ts
import { runWorkflowByTitle } from 'protocol-launcher/barcuts'

const url = runWorkflowByTitle({
  title: 'Workflow 1',
  input: 'My input text!',
})

Generated URLs ​

ts
workflows()
// => 'barcuts://workflows'

workflows({
  xSuccess: 'my-app://success',
  xError: 'my-app://failure',
})
// => 'barcuts://workflows?x-success=my-app%3A%2F%2Fsuccess&x-error=my-app%3A%2F%2Ffailure'

runWorkflowById({
  id: '17620440-E9E8-4B5C-9C7A-9B60C24DD428',
})
// => 'barcuts://run-workflow?id=17620440-E9E8-4B5C-9C7A-9B60C24DD428'

runWorkflowById({
  id: '17620440-E9E8-4B5C-9C7A-9B60C24DD428',
  input: 'My input text!',
})
// => 'barcuts://run-workflow?id=17620440-E9E8-4B5C-9C7A-9B60C24DD428&input=My%20input%20text%21'

runWorkflowByTitle({
  title: 'Workflow 1',
  input: 'My input text!',
})
// => 'barcuts://run-workflow?title=Workflow%201&input=My%20input%20text%21'
