Data Jar

About Data Jar

Data Jar is a data store by Simon B. Støvring for Apple Shortcuts. It keeps values under keys and supports text, numbers, lists, dictionaries, and files. Shortcuts can read or update those values directly, while iCloud provides syncing across compatible devices using the same account.

Use it to keep a running count or a preference that two different shortcuts share. The app gives you a separate view to inspect stored values and correct an entry without changing the shortcut itself. Its iCloud-backed structure also helps when one automation writes information on an iPhone and another reads it on iPad.
