Siri Shortcuts

A Collection of useful Shortcuts for iOS 15+

Computer Interaction

Shortcuts to control and interact with a Windows PC

Prerequisites

1. A Windows Computer running Windows 10 or 11
2. Windows SSH Server enabled
3. PSExec (in PSTools) set up properly on your computer. You can download it manually, or use the Siri Shortcut to install it automatically in the next section.
4. BurntToast installed (also can be installed automatically in the next section)

SSH Base is required for all other shortcuts to run.

SSH Base	Install PSExec

You'll find that most other shortcuts are really simple once SSH Base is installed. If you need to set up PSExec and BurntToast automatically, you can run the InstallPSExec shortcut after you get SSH Base.

No longer works. Windows has patched the workaround used to enable this.

Lock Computer

QR Code	Details
	Locks the computer. Much simpler than unlocking it.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing seems to happen when the commands are run
  • Most likely this is due to either the SSH server not being set up properly, or powershell's execution policy not allowing remote scripts from running.
    • For case 1, make sure OpenSSH Server is set up properly using the tutorial posted at the top
    • For case 2, open powershell and type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned or use the updated version of PSExec Base (just scan the QR code above again and overwrite the existing one)
