Utility project

Automated Morning and Night Greets

A small personal automation that turns a recurring task into a lightweight, usable iOS workflow.

What it is

A small automation project with a clear use case.

This project turns a recurring personal task into a lightweight iOS workflow. It reflects a pattern I value: define a repetitive process clearly, then automate only the steps worth automating.

In this case, the workflow is an iOS Shortcut that schedules a message and removes the need to remember it manually.

What it demonstrates

Practical automation at a small scale.

The project is simple, but it shows the same bias toward usable workflows, clear steps, and low-overhead automation that appears in larger systems work.

How to use the shortcut
