Convert Automator apps to shortcuts
Created Automator Apps in previous versions of macOS? Convert them to Shortcuts apps in macOS Monterey
Automator was a useful macOS utility for creating small, simple apps that performed various tasks. You may have Automator apps you created yourself or downloaded from the web and they are great for repetitive tasks. Automator was the simplest way to create a Mac app.
It has been replaced by Shortcuts in macOS Monterey and it is the same Shortcuts that is on the iPhone. Automator still works, for now, but Apple really wants you to use Shortcuts instead. To help you switch, Shortcuts imports Automator apps and converts them. However, it is rarely perfect and tweaks are necessary.
