  1. 5/5It's the app that makes Shortcuts so much easier to write

    I've been beta testing this app on TestFlight. It's awesome. You can write a complex shortcut in minutes rather than using annoying drag and drop controls. Plus it works in VSCode. If you create a ton of shortcuts or if you want to create them on a computer, you need it 🥳

  2. 2/5It’s just not good

    I’ll be honest, when I first saw that the new owners of RoutineHub were putting so much weight behind Jellycuts, I couldn’t for the life of me understand why. I still don’t understand it. I don’t understand the need for a website or for the content & blog posts—and especially not the subscription & paywalled content. I mean, does Javascript put out blog posts? How about C++? Go? Ruby? No, of course they don’t—because they’re programming languages. So, taking a programming language like Jelly and turning it into a brand is just a really bizarre choice to me. Aside from that, the app just isn’t very good. The language is limited, and there’s still a lot that it can’t do. Perhaps these things should have been ironed out BEFORE introducing a website, subscription tiers, blog posts, a re-design, etc… 🤔 Of course, that’s not how devs operate in 2024, where it’s more important to create all this superfluous stuff to entice people into buying the software/app rather than finishing the build, squashing the bugs, smoothing the edges, and refining the experience. One reason I was so confused about putting so much weight behind Jelly is because there’s another language for Shortcuts—Cherri—which is vastly superior to Jelly, has a macOS app, and an IDE—all for FREE. No subscriptions. No paywalled content. And the language is more intuitive, easier to understand, and has better documentation! I really don’t know why anyone would support this “open source” project.🤷🏻‍♂️

  3. 1/5So much for that “Immortal” Jellyfish Pro purchase

    Like others I bought the lifetime pro version of the app with a one-time in-app purchase. This was back in Feb 2023 prior to the app being acquired by new developers. It seemed like a cool project & I wanted to make a small contribution to support it. Now the app has been converted to a tiered subscription model & it’s hard to see any value in terms of the features vs price. The new owner was giving codes for the most basic tier for those who bought before the subscription but has become unresponsive. There’s a recent review by Mr. T Wrecks that perfectly sums up all the current problems with this app & why its future is bleak—definitely worth reading. The tl;dr of it all is this: this app simply isn’t worth bothering with anymore. Don’t waste your time.

  4. 5/5New owner is trustworthy!

    UPDATE: I'm happy to hear that the new owner of this app will honor past purchases -- those occurring back when the app had 'buy once' IAP rather than the current subscription model. This course of action is the right thing for the new owner to do. And, for me, it breeds trust. Give the app a try!

    + Bug Fixes + Performance improvements with Base64 files + Updated docs (thank you Andrej730)

  • 2026.4.1

    We squashed a crash that hit when you were just trying to type — deleting text near comments or multi-line strings would occasionally nuke the whole app. Rude. That's fixed now. Type your emoji in peace. If you ever offloaded JellyCuts and came back to "meta.json can't be opened" — yeah, we heard you. The app now actually finds your files again instead of staring blankly at where they used to be.
