We all know updaters in Shortcuts, they have been there since Workflow was introduced. Like Shortcuts they come in many different variants all with their strengths and weaknesses.

Recently a new member on the Discord Shortcuts server published his version of an updater called “ Very smol updater “ this name sounded funny to me at first. However on second thought I understood that it was intended to emphasize the size of this updater. It only has 4 actions, well i’m impressed.

The approach from this creator Francesco Rosi is different and in my opinion refreshing. The majority of updater actions takes place on the server side. Meaning the updater can be small and doesn’t require updates itself. If there are updates needed the changes can be made on the server side.

This shortcut can be downloaded on RoutineHub.
