Shortcut 001 Live iOS 17+

Work Focus

Walks in with you. Silences everything. Says you're here.

Three actions that fire the moment you arrive at the office: Do Not Disturb turns on, and a message tells your team you're in. No tapping, no forgetting, no buzzing through the presentation again.

Get the shortcut

The button downloads the signed shortcut file. iOS shows a preview and asks you to confirm, so open it on the iPhone you want it on.

Add to Shortcuts

The file only contains the actions. The trigger is an iOS Automation you create once — the steps below cover it.

What it does

3 actions
Arrive
Location: Office

Set it up

3 steps
1

Add the shortcut

Tap Add to Shortcuts and confirm the preview sheet. The file is signed, so iOS imports it without enabling untrusted shortcuts.

2

Two one-time edits

Open the shortcut. Tap Send Message and pick the chat with your team — a shared file cannot know your contacts. Then tap Set Focus and check that Turn Off is set to On Leaving.

3

Create the automation

Shortcuts → Automation → + → Arrive → choose your office with a 100 m radius. Select the Work Focus shortcut as the action and turn off Ask Before Running.

What you need

Questions

What if I'm already on Do Not Disturb?

Nothing breaks. The automation applies the same Focus again, which is a no-op, and still sends the message.

Does it turn back off when I leave?

Yes, if you set Turn Off to On Leaving inside the Set Focus action. That's one dropdown, easy to miss.

Is my location being tracked?

Location is handled entirely by iOS on your device. This page has no analytics and no login, and the download server only hands over the file.

Do I have to allow untrusted shortcuts?

No. The downloaded file is signed, so iOS imports it without changing that setting.

Nothing happens when I tap the button

You are probably inside another app's browser (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok). Open the page in Safari, then tap the button again.

Will it drain my battery?

No. Geofences are managed by the system, not by a background app, so the cost is the same as any location-based reminder.
