For me, I have shortcuts on my Mac to change the wallpaper based on time of day (light or dark), but that’s it. I’d maybe be interested in using more if I could think of a good use case, so share yours, if you have one

    I’ve got a few on my phone:

    • one for playing a sound when my phone is charged
    • another for starting my Streaks timer when certain reading apps are opened, so that I can track how long I read every day across apps automatically
    • when my Sleep schedule begins (when I’m going to bed), I automatically change the screen colour to grey to help prevent being distracted. When I wake up, it turns that off.
    • I have one HomePod, and I don’t use it much, but it has a temperature sensor and when that goes over 25C I get a notification so I know to turn on the AC

      In iOS 16, you can have multiple lock screens that can be customized. (long press the lock screen). Then you can go into the sleep focus and set the lock screen to the one you created. I have focuses for work, school, driving, sleep, and otherwise each with different lock screens.

        Oh this is different, it’s a colour filter so that there is no colour at all on the screen. Everything is monochrome. It’s not just the wallpaper. That makes it harder to see those bright red, orange, yellow ads or buttons that distract at night

          Ohhh, that’s actually a pretty smart idea I think I might have to try that out!
