An absolute must-have for any Shortcuts aficionado
In a bleak world before Data Jar, I had to rely on saving .json files to iCloud for data persistence. Data Jar has fundamentally changed my data storage strategy and has unlocked a whole new series of experiences in Shortcuts. The app is super easy to use and has a beautiful UI. Simon has done a really incredible job with this app and the PC version of it is perfect. The fact that it's free is wild considering how powerful it can make your shortcuts.
🍯 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 DataJar 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 DataJar. I’m happy. Tipped! :)
Amazingly Useful
At first, I didn’t see the benefit and usefulness of Data Jar. However, once I started doing more with Shortcuts I quickly discovered it’s amazing potential. I use it to store Data for quick access, almost like a database. I also use it to start flags and timestamps so I can check the status of various things in my Shortcuts or when something last happened. It’s awesome for power users of Shortcuts.
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!
Great with Shortcuts and Automations
Tested this on Windows, iPad, and iOS. Smooth on all three. Provides essential variable and data storage for the Shortcuts app. Essentially allows you to create a local / iCloud database. Easily query your data using menus. Also pairs well with his OTHER app called Scriptable, allowing Javascript-esque data manipulation. Personal experience tip here: learn the differences between working with Lists and with Dictionaries.
