Here is how I set up Siri Shortcuts to remind me every 3 hours to do wordle until I open the NYT Games app

Very long explanation so buckle up!

Setting up an iPhone shortcut to achieve this requires a combination of features within the Shortcuts app, and unfortunately, some aspects might have limitations due to how iOS handles app usage and notifications.
Here's a detailed approach, with caveats, on how you can try to set this up:
Understanding the Challenges & Limitations
* Direct App Open Detection: Shortcuts doesn't have a built-in "trigger" for "when I open an app" that can then stop future scheduled notifications. It can trigger when an app is closed, but not in a way that stops already scheduled actions.
* Persistent Reminders: Scheduling 5 distinct reminders throughout the day, and then dynamically cancelling them based on an app open, is complex.
* "Until I Open" Logic: The "until" part is the trickiest because the shortcut itself can't constantly monitor if you've opened the app in the background and then cancel its own future actions.
Proposed Solution (and why it's a workaround):
We'll use a combination of:
* Scheduled Automations: To trigger the reminders at specific times.
* A Variable/File: To store whether you've opened the app.
* An App-Based Automation: To mark that you've opened the app.
* Conditional Logic: To check the variable before showing a reminder.
Step-by-Step Setup:
Part 1: The "Check and Remind" Shortcut
This shortcut will be responsible for checking if you've opened the app and, if not, showing a reminder.
* Open the Shortcuts App.
* Go to "My Shortcuts" and tap the "+" icon to create a new shortcut.
* Name it: "NYT Daily Check" (or something similar).
* Add Actions:
* Text: Add a "Text" action. Leave it blank for now. (This will act as our "flag" file.)
* Get File: Add a "Get File" action.
* For "File Path," enter: NYT_Opened.txt
* Make sure "Show Document Picker" is OFF.
* Make sure "Error if Not Found" is ON. (This is crucial, as the first time it runs, the file won't exist).
* If Action: Add an "If" action.
* Set the condition to: If File Does Not Have Any Value (or If File Doesn't Exist if that option is available, it might depend on iOS version).
* Inside the "If" block (this is for when the file DOESN'T exist, meaning the app hasn't been opened today):
* Show Notification: Add a "Show Notification" action.
* Title: "Time to Read the NYT!"
* Body: "Open the New York Times app to stop reminders for today."
* Turn OFF "Play Sound" if you prefer.
* Turn ON "Clear after open" (this clears the notification if you tap it).
* End If: (This will be automatically added by Shortcuts).
* Otherwise: Tap on the "Otherwise" block that appeared after the "If" action.
* Do Nothing: This section is for when the file does exist (meaning the app has been opened). We want the shortcut to simply stop here.
* End If: (This will be automatically added by Shortcuts).
* Save the Shortcut.
Part 2: The "Mark App Opened" Automation
This automation will run whenever you open the New York Times app and will create/update a file indicating that you've opened it.
* Go to the "Automation" tab in the Shortcuts App.
* Tap "New Automation" or the "+" icon.
* Select "App" as the trigger.
* Choose "New York Times" from the list of apps.
* Select "Is Opened".
* Ensure "Run Immediately" is selected. (This is important for a seamless experience.)
* Tap "Next".
* Add Actions:
* Text: Add a "Text" action.
* In the text field, type: Opened (or any single word, it just needs to have content).
* Save File: Add a "Save File" action.
* For "File Path," enter: NYT_Opened.txt (This must be the exact same file name as in Part 1).
* Select "Replace if File Exists."
* Turn OFF "Ask Where to Save."
* Set "Destination" to "Shortcuts" (or iCloud Drive, but Shortcuts is simpler for this purpose as it's directly accessible).

* Show Notification (Optional but Recommended): You might want a subtle notification just to confirm the automation ran and the reminders are off.
* Title: "NYT Opened!"
* Body: "Reminders for today have been stopped."
* Turn OFF "Play Sound."
* Tap "Done".
Part 3: The "Daily Reset" Automation (Crucial!)
This automation will run once a day (e.g., at midnight) to delete the NYT_Opened.txt file, effectively resetting the reminder system for the next day.
* Go to the "Automation" tab in the Shortcuts App.
* Tap "New Automation" or the "+" icon.
* Select "Time of Day" as the trigger.
* Set the time: Choose 12:00 AM (or just after midnight, like 12:01 AM).
* Select "Daily" for Repeat.
* Tap "Next".
* Add Actions:
* Delete File: Add a "Delete File" action.
* For "File Path," enter: NYT_Opened.txt (Again, exact same file name).
* Turn OFF "Ask Before Deleting."
* Turn ON "Delete if Not Found" (This prevents an error if the file wasn't created that day).
* Set "Destination" to "Shortcuts" (or iCloud Drive, matching where you saved it in Part 2).
* Tap "Done".
Part 4: Scheduling the Reminders (Automations)
Now, you'll create 5 separate "Time of Day" automations that each run the "NYT Daily Check" shortcut.
* Go to the "Automation" tab in the Shortcuts App.
* Tap "New Automation" or the "+" icon.
* Select "Time of Day" as the trigger.
* Set the first time: E.g., 9:00 AM.
* Select "Daily" for Repeat.
* Tap "Next".
* Add Action:
* Run Shortcut: Select "Run Shortcut" and choose your "NYT Daily Check" shortcut.
* Tap "Done".
* Repeat steps 1-8 four more times, choosing different times throughout the day (e.g., 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 9:00 PM).
How it Works (and its limitations):
* Daily Reset: Every morning at 12:01 AM, the NYT_Opened.txt file is deleted. This means the "NYT Daily Check" shortcut will start showing notifications again.
* Scheduled Reminders: Throughout the day, at your chosen times, the "NYT Daily Check" shortcut will run.
* Conditional Check: When "NYT Daily Check" runs, it first tries to "Get File" NYT_Opened.txt.
* If the file doesn't exist (because it was deleted at midnight and you haven't opened the NYT app yet), it will show the "Time to Read the NYT!" notification.
* If the file does exist (because you've opened the NYT app since midnight), the "If" condition will be false, and the shortcut will simply do nothing.
* Stopping Reminders: The moment you open the New York Times app, the "Mark App Opened" automation runs, creating the NYT_Opened.txt file. From that point on, whenever the scheduled "NYT Daily Check" runs, it will find the file and will not show a notification.
Important Considerations & Limitations:
* No Real-time Cancellation: This setup doesn't cancel already pending notifications in the iOS notification center if you open the app. It prevents new notifications from being generated after you open the app. If a notification was shown at 9 AM and you opened the app at 9:05 AM, the 9 AM notification will still be in your notification center until you clear it.
* "Run Immediately" for Automations: For the "Mark App Opened" automation, "Run Immediately" is crucial. If it's set to "Ask Before Running," it defeats the purpose.
* File Storage: The NYT_Opened.txt file will be stored in your iCloud Drive (specifically under the Shortcuts folder, unless you changed the destination). It's a tiny file and won't consume significant storage.
* Notification Sounds: You can customize whether the notifications play a sound or not within the "Show Notification" action.
* Reliability: While Shortcuts are generally reliable, ensure your device is adequately charged and has network access for iCloud Drive if that's where you store the file.
* iOS Updates: Keep in mind that future iOS updates could change how Shortcuts work, potentially affecting this setup.

Context matters in design. Just because a tool didn't work in a given context, it doesn't mean that tool isn't useful. It probably means that we aren't understanding the context well enough.
