While adding items to my shopping list this morning to Remember The Milk, my favorite To-Do App, it occurred to me that I could maybe make a Shortcut which leveraged Location Services and RTM together. Often times I’m moving from place to place, especially on Saturdays to do grocery shopping. RTM is very nice to use, but it is slightly annoying to have to navigate to specific lists when you get to a new place. RTM does have a Nearby option, but I haven’t really noticed it until right before I started with this Shortcut, so this could just be extra-on-top of what RTM could already do.

This Shortcut begins with the Location object from the Location group.

I looked at all the output from Location and for my needs, Street seemed to be the most useful.

I used the If object from the Scripting group. Chained together, one inside the next.

If Street contains your home street, then Open RTM from the Apps group with the “View Today” object.

If Street contains your work street, open RTM from the Apps group with the SmartList “Today At Work” (I created this SmartList, it’s all the tasks in the Work context, due Today.)

This theme keeps going, I go to Costco, the street there is Century Ave and my local Meijer is on Gull Road in Kalamazoo Township, near where I live.

Each time I call this Shortcut, it will poll Location Services, then figure out where I am and then open RTM right where I want to be.
