Five ready-to-build Apple Shortcuts

Each shortcut uses the category field so it fires at any location of that type — not just one specific place. Set one up as a Personal Automation to run automatically when you arrive somewhere.

Three ways to trigger automatically

Pick what works best for your setup.

📍 Location arrival

Most automatic. Set a ½–1 mile radius pin. The shortcut fires when you enter the area; GeoLabel handles fine-grained identification.

📱 On app open

Zero battery impact. Trigger when Maps (or any driving app) opens — great if you always open Maps when you go somewhere.

🏠 Widget / Home Screen

Easiest way to start. Tap it when you arrive. Great for testing before setting up full automation.

Pro tips

Use contains, not equals, when matching label values — label contains "Walmart" catches "Walmart Supercenter #402" and every variant. equals breaks on store numbers.
Chain multiple If blocks — one shortcut can handle gym, grocery, and gas station by stacking three separate If blocks, each checking a different category.
Log everything first — before adding actions, start with a shortcut that just shows the category in a notification. Confirm it works before adding more steps.
The place field has the full venue name — use it for logging. Use label for display. Use category for logic.
