Shortcircuit

What is Shortcircuit?

Short Circuit is a premium ChatGPT app for Apple devices, built around an AI assistant named Shorty. It runs on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, is available on the App Store, and integrates with Siri, Shortcuts, and other built-in Apple features.

Privacy is central to the design: your questions and answers aren’t used to train OpenAI models, and the app aims to meet data privacy regulations.

Pricing is flexible. The app uses a subscription model, but a one-time payment can unlock it permanently, and a free trial lets you try all features first. You can also use your own OpenAI token if you prefer.

What is Shortcircuit used for?

• Chat with a range of personalities, such as a French tour guide, a math tutor, or a SwiftUI expert.
• Verify responses with the built-in fact-checking feature.
• Adjust conversation settings to suit your needs.
• Build workflows powered by ChatGPT through Siri and Shortcuts integration — say “Ask Shorty” to start a chat via Siri.
• Get help from the support team via Mastodon or email.

Responses are powered by the GPT-4 engine.
