The app provides lots of powerful extra actions for the Shortcuts app on macOS, iOS, and visionOS. These actions make it significantly easier to create shortcuts.

#### How can I run this only when not connected to certain networks?

Use the [Shortery](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1594183810) app. Create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to launch and quit this app. Then, set up a "Wi-Fi" trigger in Shortery to run the shortcut based on your Wi-Fi connection status. This allows the app to launch or quit when connecting to or disconnecting from specific Wi-Fi networks.

#### Pure Paste conflicts with my clipboard manager

This is a known issue. It's just a flaw in how the clipboard works. If your clipboard manager reads the clipboard first, it will get it. If Pure Paste then reads the clipboard, it will do its thing, but also tell clipboard managers not to fetch the new contents as otherwise, they might end up with duplicates. This is required as otherwise certain features like "fast-append" don't work in Alfred and other clipboard managers. I'm working on a way all apps can collaborate, but it will take some time.

Try [resetting privacy permissions](https://sindresorhus.com/apps/faq#mac-reset-permissions) for the app. macOS can sometimes corrupt these permissions, causing the shortcut to fail.

Removing tracking parameters improve privacy and also make URLs more aesthetically pleasing. Tracking parameters are used by many websites to track your browsing activity across websites. [Learn more.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_parameters)
