This Vision Pro app turns your shortcuts into buttons that float before your very eyes and it's available now

Shortcut Buttons Vision Pro app.

The Vision Pro is finally here after months of waiting since that first WWDC unveiling in June of last year. The headset is officially on sale and people across the United States are already enjoying what Apple hopes will be a new era of spatial computing. But for that to happen, we need apps. Lots and lots of apps. Apple announced recently that the visionOS App Store would have more than 600 Vision Pro apps at launch and one of them is an absolute must if you're a heavy Shortcuts user.

That app, dubbed Shortcut Buttons and created by developer Finn Voorhees, allows Vision Pro users to place shortcut buttons anywhere in their world, making it quicker and easier to do anything that those shortcuts are capable of doing. The shortcut could be a quick way to start a new timer, add a new reminder, interact with their calendar, and more. And because the shortcuts can be locked into place they can be put in places that make sense — like a shortcut for a specific HomeKit scene near the TV, for example.
