OriginSteward: iOS Shortcut Guide

This guide explains how to create the "OriginSteward Drop" shortcut on your iPhone/iPad. This shortcut allows you to share URLs or Text from any app directly to your OriginSteward Inbox via iCloud Drive.

Prerequisites

  1. iCloud Drive must be enabled on both your Mac and iPhone.
  2. The OriginSteward/Inbox folder must exist in your iCloud Drive.
    • Note: If you are running this project in ~/Documents, ensure Desktop & Documents Folders syncing is enabled in iCloud settings.

Step-by-Step Creation

  1. Open the Shortcuts app on iOS.
  2. Tap + to create a new shortcut.
  3. Name it "Drop to Brain".
  4. Enable Show in Share Sheet:
    • Tap the "i" icon (bottom) -> Toggle "Show in Share Sheet".
    • Set "Receive" to URLs and Text.

The Logic Flow

Add the following actions in order:

1. Set Variable (Input)

  • Action: Set Variable
  • Name: Payload
  • Value: Shortcut Input

2. Text (JSON Construction)

  • Action: Text
  • Paste the following JSON template: 
    {
  "type": "url",
  "payload": "Payload_Variable",
  "timestamp": CurrentDate_As_Unix_Time,
  "note": "Shared from iOS"
}
    • Tip: Replace Payload_Variable by selecting the variable you created in Step 1.
    • Tip: For timestamp, use the "Date" variable, tap it, and change format to "ISO 8601" or custom format X (Unix timestamp).

3. Save File

  • Action: Save File
  • Input: Text (the JSON from Step 2)
  • Destination: iCloud Drive
  • Path: Documents/projects/.../Brain2.0/Inbox/ (Navigate to your actual Inbox folder).
  • Name: mobile_drop.json (You might want to append date to filename to avoid overwrites, e.g., mobile_drop_CurrentDate.json).

How to Use

  1. Open Safari or Twitter.
  2. Tap Share.
  3. Select Drop to Brain.
  4. Wait a few seconds for iCloud to sync.
  5. Watch your Mac's daemon pick it up!
