iVenus Scratchpad

Execute python code directly from inside Apple Notes!

Install

This shortcuts requires the app a-Shell to run, it's free on the app store! Just import the installation shortcut below and run it! It will clone the repo and import another shortcut called Run iVenus Scratchpad.
If you have iOS 18 I recommend adding that shortcut to your control center.

NOTE: If you don't get a prompt to import Run iVenus Scratchpad just run the install shortcut again

Usage

Tag any note with the #python tag then write blocks of code enclosed with triple backticks ```
The backticks should be on their own line at the start and and of any code blocks
All code blocks in a note are run together, so you can set a variable in one block and print it in the next block
When you're ready to run the code just run the Run iVenus Scratchpad shortcut!
The shortcut will always run on the MOST RECENTLY EDITED NOTE containing the #python tag
It will append the result to the note
After you're done checking the output you can undo ⌘+z to remove the output to keep the note clean

Please report bugs!

I made this all at 3AM so I've definitely missed something.
I'm especially concerned about sanitizing the inputs, because I don't know what I'm doing.
So if you find any bugs please report them on the issues page!
