Shelley: macOS menu bar app that runs shell scripts upon authorized HTTP request - miles

I have an iOS Shortcut that SSHs into my Mac and runs scripts. It’s pretty
simple; I only use it to remotely launch/quit Slack, but I could probably do a
lot more if I had a reason to.

It’s cool to see somebody else mention Hazel. I love that app—it’s one of the
most useful apps I have—but nobody else seems to use it.

Like the author said. I have no clue what to use Hazel for. Keyboard Maestro I
get.

you can do that with pure nginx/apache or almost any webserver as well, it's
called CGI

The first programming work I ever did was with CGI, about 25 years ago,
writing bash scripts to control playing MP3s using webmin's HTTP server (I
think Apache was too complex for me to figure out how to setup at the time).

I'd be lying if I said I was't a bit sad that we've gone so far that CGI isn't
even in the thought process for this problem.

cool hack, but remember to turn this off at untrusted networks.

or just add a https proxy before it before it..., even better, use a https
tunnel service like ngrok to allow automating stuff from anywhere not only
from your local LAN.
