Tailscale actions for iOS and macOS Shortcuts

Apple's platforms have a rich history of end-user programming and automation, evolving from BASIC on the Apple II to modern tools like Shortcuts, available on iOS 13 and macOS 12. Tailscale, a networking tool, has embraced this evolution by integrating with Shortcuts starting from version 1.36, allowing users to automate Tailscale functionalities directly on iOS and macOS. This integration enables users to manage connection states, use exit nodes, and switch between profiles efficiently, enhancing user experience with automations triggered by location, time, or specific conditions like Wi-Fi connections or battery levels. Shortcuts can be added to the home screen for quick access, and users can leverage Siri for status updates, promoting seamless and personalized control over their Tailscale workflows. The developers encourage users to share their creative automation solutions with the broader Tailscale community through social media and forums.
