iOS 15 Compatibility: There is a bug in Shortcuts on iOS 15 that prevents syncing of your shortcut library from the Shortcuts to MFC Deck. Until this bug is resolved by Apple (FB9585913), MFC Deck will be unavailable to download from the App Store.
Control Decks and Home Screen Widgets Powered by Shortcuts
MFC Deck creates dynamic control decks and cards that run shortcuts, present information, send commands to your macOS applications, power NFC tags, and automatically run shortcuts. Display these decks and cards in Home Screen widgets, on your Apple Watch, and in assistant voice responses.
Features
MFC Deck has many features to extend the functionality and power of your shortcuts on iOS, including:
-
Cards: Display your shortcuts in MFC Deck as small, medium, or large cards.
-
Decks: Create multiple collections of cards in nestable decks.
-
Card Actions: Configure your cards to run a shortcut (with parameters), open a URL, or switch to another deck.
-
Presentation: Display your cards the same way across MFC Deck, Siri voice responses, Apple Watch, and Home Screen widgets.
-
Customization: Choose your deck layout and add custom icons and colors to your decks and cards. Specify custom backgrounds, images, text, symbols, and even offer tappable controls. If you can write a simple HTML page, you can create great looking cards.

Third-Party Tool Support: MFC Deck supports providing input for shortcuts from Data Jar, Toolbox Pro, and GizmoPack.
