The WWDC 2026 Keynote mentioned several changes to the Shortcuts app in macOS Golden Gate, and I’ve listed them below. All but one of these are from a terse listing of new features at 6:20 of the keynote video.
- Natural language shortcut creation
- Redesigned Shortcuts Editor
- Store data in shortcuts
- Else if support
- Screenshot and notification automations
- Expanded Get What’s On Screen capabilities
- Group conversation support
- Faster shortcuts and actions indexing in Spotlight
Two items are of special interest to me, and the first is else if support. The second is the ability to store data in a shortcut across multiple runs of the shortcut. I normally don’t install early beta versions of macOS, but I would certainly like to try out these new features.
