Easily start new consoles on iOS and iPadOS

I created a shortcut for iOS and iPadOS which lets you easily open new consoles:

When you use the shortcut, it will open a new console if you currently don't have any running. If you have at least one console already open or a new console is unable to be started, then it will take you to the consoles page. Here is how you set up the shortcut:

  • Download it from here. If it doesn't allow you to install it, go to Settings > Shortcuts and enable the "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts" option.

  • Create a new shortcut called "PythonAnywhere API Tokens". This shortcut must return a dictionary that maps usernames to API tokens (see image below). If you don't already have an API token on your PythonAnywhere account, click on "Account" on the top right of this website, then go to the "API Token" tab, where you can create an API token.
