How to Build a Link-in-Bio Shortcut in 2 Minutes

You’re a creator. Or a developer. Or a caffeine-fueled hybrid of both.

You’ve got links: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, RoutineHub, maybe even a Notion page you forgot about. And you want a fast, elegant way to share all of it — without building a website, buying yet another link-in-bio subscription, or waiting for your shortcut edits to load pixel by pixel like it’s 1998.

Enter: Jellycuts.

Who Should Use This?

• Artists with multiple streaming links
• Social media managers building platform-specific promos
• Indie devs with tools scattered across GitHub, Notion, and vibes
• You, because you read this far and clearly want it

What’s Jellycuts?

It’s like coding for Apple Shortcuts — but way, way faster.

Instead of dragging clunky blocks around like a tired caveman, you write Swift-like code that turns into actual Shortcuts. Think: text editor + compile button + boom, it works.

Why use Jellycuts for a Link-in-Bio?

Because you:

• Want one-tap access to all your stuff
• Are tired of platforms limiting your bio to a single link
• Need to swap out URLs fast, without digging through 50 nested blocks
• Are a social media manager trying to stand out in a sea of “link in bio” sameness

Also? Because it’s fun. And weird. And free.

What You’ll Build

An Apple Shortcut that:

• Pops up a menu of links (Spotify, Tidal, YouTube, etc.)
• Opens the selected site via your custom redirect URLs (Cloudflare, Rebrandly, etc.)
• Tracks clicks with UTM parameters (utm_source=shortcut, etc.)
• Can be updated in 20 seconds with Jellycuts and redeployed instantly

Here’s the core idea in Jellycuts syntax:

import Shortcuts
#Color: purple, #Icon: musicNote

var baseQuery = "?utm_source=shortcut&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=lacita_menu"

menu("Tap into La Cita — where are we going?", [
    "Spotify", 
    "Apple Music", 
    "YouTube Music", 
    "YouTube", 
    "Amazon Music", 
    "Tidal", 
    "RoutineHub"
]) {
    
    case("Spotify"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://lacitamusic.com/spotify" + baseQuery) >> openSpotify

    case("Apple Music"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://lacitamusic.com/applemusic" + baseQuery) >> openAppleMusic

    case("YouTube Music"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://lacitamusic.com/youtubemusic" + baseQuery) >> openYouTubeMusic

    case("YouTube"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://lacitamusic.com/youtube" + baseQuery) >> openYouTube

    case("Amazon Music"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://lacitamusic.com/amazon" + baseQuery) >> openAmazonMusic

    case("Tidal"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://lacitamusic.com/tidal" + baseQuery) >> openTidal

    case("RoutineHub"):
        showWebPage(url: "https://routinehub.co/user/lacitamusic" + baseQuery) >> openRoutineHub
} >> menuResult

Why This Beats Apple Shortcuts

• Apple’s built-in editor? Laggy and slow.
• Jellycuts? Instant deploys from text to shortcut.
• Swapping URLs? Just edit a line and hit the ⚡ button.
• Want to add tracking? Add a query string. Done.
• Want to turn it into a QR code for a poster? Publish to RoutineHub and get an instant QR code.

This becomes your personal app without needing to go through the App Store, TestFlight, or a 16-week design sprint.

Ready to Try?

1. Install Jellycuts
2. Paste in the sample script
3. Customize your links
4. Tap to deploy
5. Drop it into your Link in Bio, a tweet, or a sticker on a subway pole

Your link-in-bio just became a shortcut. Your brand just leveled up.

You’re not just sharing links. You’re building portals.
