Build an Open Multiple Apps Shortcut for iPhone

Every morning or work session starts the same way: open email, open Slack, open your notes app, open your calendar. Doing this one by one wastes two minutes and fragments your attention before you've even started. An open multiple apps shortcut for iPhone sequences all of those launches into a single tap, so your digital workspace is ready the moment you sit down.

How this multi-app launch shortcut works

The shortcut opens each app in your defined sequence with a short pause between launches. You can pair it with a focus mode activation, a notification summarising your day, or a music trigger so your entire environment, digital and auditory, is configured in one tap. Adjust the app order and the pause duration to match your personal rhythm.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Build an Open Multiple Apps Shortcut shortcut free?

Signed-in users can build one custom AI shortcut each day for free, subject to free-model availability. Continued generation uses prepaid credit according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable paid shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.

Which iPhone, iPad, and Mac models does this shortcut support?

Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.

Does this shortcut need an internet connection to run?

It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.

Can I customise this shortcut after installing it?

Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
