As always, if BarCuts is already running on your Mac, either wait for the automatic update to pop up on its own (which might take up to 24h), or open the app window, then select “Check for updates …” from the main menu.
Let me know if you come across any issues with the new version, please! 
BarCuts 2025.2.0 is here!
And the theme of this release is “Connectivity”!
BarCuts is not meant to be a “closed” app. So I introduces scripting support that integrates with the new BarCuts Companion for Alfred and the BarCuts Companion for Raycast – which allow you to access and run your BarCuts-tagged Shortcuts workflows directly from their respective windows.
New Shortcuts Action
“Get Workflows” returns all tagged, currently active, or always-available workflows.
Embedded CLI Tool
The new barcuts-cli command-line tool returns a JSON structure containing all active workflows, global workflows, and info on the active app. CLI scripting, hooray!
In fact, this tool is the foundation that makes both the Alfred and Raycast extensions possible.
URL scheme / x-callback-url support
I’ve added a x-callback-url endpoint that returns a JSON structure containing all active workflows, global workflows, and info on the active app.
Documentation
I got around to writing up some actual documentation. (Finally…) I did my best to think of everything but if you have ideas on how to improve it, please don’t be shy!
Connecting with Alfred & Raycast
Alfred and Raycast are launchers for apps and automations and everything else on your Mac. I love 'em! So as mentioned above, I build the BarCuts Companion for Alfred and the BarCuts Companion for Raycast – both allow you to access and run your active & global workflows from their command palettes.
And that’s it for this release. Let me know what you think, and if you like it, please help me by telling folks about BarCuts. Write your friends, your family, your favourite podcasters, your parlamentarians!
Because I’ll be honest, it’s really effing hard to get an app like BarCuts off the ground. Building is the easy part, for sure. It’s hard to get a new app noticed.
Thanks <3,
Carlo
