Hey all… I have been meaning to get into Pushcut for awhile but haven’t had a dedicated iOS device to use for it.
Now I have an M1 MacBook and wonder: can it run on that, since iOS apps can run on M1?

That would be interesting: The restriction that the device has to be dedicated, while pretty close to true on iOS, might not be so necessary on a M1 Mac.
If so, that would make the Mac a more attractive place to run the Automation Server.
But I have to ask: What would you expect the server to be able to run? I don’t think, for example, you could run shortcuts.
I was assuming that the server would notify my iPhone, and the shortcut would run there.
Is that not how the Pushcut server works? I admit I haven’t looked into it because I haven’t had the opportunity to use it before now anyway.
If you mean the Automation Server, no. The shortcut runs on the Automation Server device.
(Perhaps @sliemeobn could comment on this.)
Well now that I think about it, that seems obvious.
Oh well. I guess I just need to buy another iPad!

Funny how the narrator’s voice sounds so much like my wife’s!

We’re waiting for the next iPad Pro shoe to drop. Meanwhile my 128GB original 12.9” iPad Pro just ran out of space… 
Apologies for opening an older thread but would running pushcut automation server on an M1 Mac running Monterey (i.e. having access to shortcuts) be a future possibility?
yes, the Pushcut developer commented on that on the following thread

Brilliant thank you. Didn’t come across that when I searched.
Appreciate the reply
Is there an eta or has this happened already? I don’t see a Macos app or the iOS version available on the m1
hi, developer here! … with bad news…
things did not turn out as planned with an intern, I am 110 % busy with another project that I cannot divert any time from at the moment.
the sad thing is that it is technically all there and my vision for the app is totally clear… but I do not know when I can finally have a few concentrated days/weeks to push it out the door.
but maybe I’ll just hire someone to finish it - it really should exist by now… : (

Sorry to hear things didn’t turn out, but I’d much rather have something Done Right than something Done Quickly.

No need to be apologetic, fully agree with TJ and am sure it will be great once it’s out.

@RosemaryOrchard i‘m sure somebody already asked, but i could not find it anywhere
with Pushcut being under a new management and all, is it still planned to come to the mac anytime soon?

Would love an update on this also! Have been waiting ages for this
This is in active development (for macOS, not just M1 Macs); don’t have a release date yet, but hoping to have something out “soon”.

That would be totally transformative of the way I use PushCut. Good luck with the continuing development of it.

Waiting for beta version to arrive on TestFlight. Do you have a mailing list that would notify users when this build might be ready?
This will be one of the venues where we announced the public TestFlight. We don’t currently have a mailing list, but this is something we’re considering for the future.
