Cherri is a domain-specific programming language and compiler, written in Go, that compiles source files into signed Apple Siri Shortcuts. It supports includes, functions, packages via Git, and ships as a CLI with a VS Code extension, macOS app, and web playground.

Use cases

  • write siri shortcuts in a programming language
  • compile apple shortcuts from source code
  • version control large shortcut projects
  • maintain big shortcuts with file includes
  • build shortcuts on mac or linux and sign them
  • manage shortcut packages from git repos

When to choose

  • you develop complex or large Apple Shortcuts and want maintainable, version-controlled source code
  • you prefer desktop development over tapping on iOS
  • you want a familiar C-like syntax that maps 1:1 to Shortcut actions

When to avoid

  • you only need simple one-off Shortcuts built in the Shortcuts app
  • you need native Windows support, which is untested and signing requires macOS or a remote service
  • you want an iOS app-based editor
