Better Shortcuts Support

BoltAI Mobile

Just wanted to say I've been trying out the app on TestFlight, and I'm really happy I found it. I've used other apps for a while, mostly Typing Mind, which is a web app. It's got some good stuff, but the main reason I started looking around was for something more native and that integrates better with my system. There aren't many options like that for iPhone, so I was pretty excited to see Bolt AI. Testing it out, it really feels like it has so much potential.

But there's one area I think could really make it shine, more Shortcuts actions. It would be awesome to be able to make requests/start chats without even opening the app. Say you select some text in any app; you could just share it to a custom shortcut you set up that will process the request and place the result in the clipboard. An option in that action to either start a new conversation or continue the last one would be awesome, and if the system prompt can also be set for that specific interaction, well that'd be the cherry on the top.

A good, solid Shortcuts integration would really open up what you can do with a native app like this, letting it tie into other apps.

One more thing I'd love for the developer to think
about is to offer a lifetime option in those cases where the user is using services with his API tokens. I get that sustainability is tricky, but honestly, I just prefer avoiding subscriptions if I can.

    Thanks. That’s my plan to integrate natively with Shortcuts. Right now you can kinda use some basic prompt using the Share Extension.

    Quick question: how much would you pay for the lifetime option?

      On lifetime pricing:

      • In its current state but with an added Shortcuts integration: $30–$40 USD

      • More pro features (for example image generation w/chat gpt/nano banana, being able to fork chats, a knowledge base, etc…). I’d pay twice the above, between $60 and $80 PLUS I would also buy the mac app separately, just to get sync.

      With good Shortcuts support and more features, this would probably replace TypingMind for me, but still, I’d personally only get it if there was a lifetime option. Honestly, the Mac landscape seems quite crowded but there’s not a lot of good solid options on iOS right now.
