How to Trigger iPhone (iOS) Shortcuts with Mudra Link Gesture Mapper

While iOS doesn’t currently allow Shortcuts to be run directly from keyboard shortcuts like macOS, you can still trigger automations using Mudra Link gestures—by combining them with iOS Accessibility features.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Assign a Shortcut to an AssistiveTouch Menu Action

1. Under AssistiveTouch settings, tap Customize Top Level Menu.

2. Add or replace a button with the “Shortcut” action.

3. Choose the Shortcut you want to run from the list.

Step 2: Assign a Keyboard Shortcut to the AssistiveTouch Menu

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards.

2. Tap Full Keyboard Access and make sure it’s turned ON.

3. Tap Commands, then scroll to find your AssistiveTouch menu item.

4. Assign a keyboard shortcut (e.g., Control + Option + S).

 Step 3: Map That Keyboard Shortcut to a Mudra Link Gesture

1. Open the Mudra Link app.

2. Go to Gesture Mapper.

3. Select the gesture you want to use.

4. Enter the same key combination you assigned in iOS settings.

Now, when you perform that gesture, it will send the keyboard shortcut to your iPhone, triggering AssistiveTouch and running your Shortcut—completely hands-free.
