🍯 So simple and so useful 🥳
For years, I’ve been sticking Shortcuts data in all sorts of places - Files, Reminders, etc. And, yeah, they worked, but not always well and they tended to make my Shortcuts more complicated than they needed to be. First thing I did with this app was write some new Shortcuts I’d been thinking about. It was so much easier. And, I really like being able to tweak my saved data easily in the DaraJar app. I’ve now written an old Shortcut to take advantage of this app. I’m happy. Tipped! :)

Give the man some money! 🤑
Simon has thought out every detail of this app and it’s ridiculously well-done. I needed to pull a few sound and image assets within a shortcut and after wrestling with iCloud paths for 10 minutes I gave up. Data jar makes stuff like this soooo easy. Also the pricing model here is generous and brilliant. Offer it free and rely on the kindness of happy users to pay for what they love...? Seriously? Give the man some money already!!!

Fantastic complement to Shortcuts
Data Jar makes logging information using Shortcuts SO much easier! Before this app I had to append information to a Note or text file, which never really worked well. Now I can set up Shortcuts to keep lists and tallies with ease. My only complaint is that right now the Tip Jar in-app purchases aren’t working, so I can’t show the developer my appreciation!
