Apple Shortcuts can run automatically at a set time every day, but most people don't know how to wire this up. A scheduled automation shortcut for iPhone lets you set any shortcut to trigger at a specific time without any manual intervention. Use it to send a daily check-in message, log your morning weight, start your focus mode, or run any other routine exactly when you need it.
Turin builds a shortcut and gives you the exact steps to set it as a time-based automation in the Shortcuts app. The automation triggers at your chosen time each day, running the shortcut in the background, no tapping required. You can schedule it for specific days of the week and set whether it needs your confirmation before running.
Go to getturin.com and describe what you want to run automatically (e.g., 'Send me a daily water reminder at 9am').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the shortcut and explain how to schedule it.
Tap the 'Install' button and follow the steps to set the automation trigger in the Shortcuts app.
Your routine runs automatically at the right time without you having to remember to trigger it.
Schedule any automation you've built, health logging, messages, focus modes, to run on a precise schedule.
Set different automations for weekdays versus weekends so your routine adapts to your schedule.

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.
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.
