SmugMug Development Lab

Let’s be honest: Photography can involve more than its fair share of busy work. That’s why at SmugMug, we’re always looking for ways to get you more time behind the lens and less time behind the keyboard. With that in mind, our latest development is one we’re *very* excited about.

The SmugMug iOS app is now compatible with Apple’s Shortcuts app! This revolutionary tool helps you accomplish multiple actions with a single click. For example, you could make a “morning routine” shortcut that would give you the day’s weather, a stock update, and start playing your favorite morning podcast, all with the click of a button.

What this means for your photography is you can automate complex, multi-step processes into a single, streamlined shortcut. With the new Shortcuts integration on the SmugMug iOS app, you can:

• Effortlessly automate mobile photo selection, editing, and uploading.
• Customize your workflow to suit your unique process.
• Save valuable time by reducing manual steps.
• Launch these shortcuts quickly from your home screen or share sheet.
• And more.

To help demonstrate this amazing new tool, our friends over at TWiP put together a handy walkthrough showing two great ways you can put this update to use:

We can’t wait to see how you streamline your photography. After all, sometimes it can be good to take a shortcut. Download the SmugMug App for iOS today.
