Apple Shortcuts

Hand a gig list (or Apple Intelligence output) to Fantom Set List Buddy from Shortcuts.

Fantom Set List Buddy appears in the Apple Shortcuts app on iPhone and iPad. In a Shortcut, add an action and search for the app—then pick what you need.

App actions

The main action is New Set List from Text: pass the set list as text (and optionally a name or a file). With a backup open, Shortcuts opens the first empty slot and fills Paste text when you supplied text. You still tap "Match…", fix rows on Review, and create the set list yourself.

Example — Text from Apple Intelligence

You can ask on-device or Cloud Intelligence for a plain set list, then hand that Response straight to New Set List from Text. The app never reads Mail or Messages on its own; text arrives through Shortcuts or Share. On iOS you can also Share plain text or a .txt / .csv from another app and choose Import into Fantom Set List Buddy.

Example — Pick from your Repertoire

Use a list of songs from your band’s repertoire in a prompt you provide to the Apple Intelligence on your iPhone or iPad (Macs do not provide this feature, unfortunately). Note that JSON is a format Large Language Model (LLM) AIs love to digest, but they are a bit difficult to read by a person.
