Snooze Tax
"Snooze detected. Tax collected."
Open in Safari on your iPhone. Download the file, open it from Safari Downloads or Files, then follow the prompts to add it in Shortcuts.
What happens
Every snooze, a voice announces “Snooze detected. Tax collected.” and the flashlight switches on for about ten seconds. It then requests flashlight off. A short pulse avoids relying on a nine-minute background run.
Setup
- Open this page in Safari on the iPhone, download the file (or AirDrop it), open it from Safari Downloads or Files, and tap Add Shortcut.
- Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Snooze Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
- Run it while unlocked and choose Always Allow where offered; allow any other requested access. Confirm its effect before creating the automation.
- Shortcuts → Automation → + → Alarm, choose Is Snoozed and Any Alarm, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
Undo
Open Shortcuts → Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut. If the flashlight is still on, swipe into Control Center and turn it off. Restore media volume and audio output in Control Center.
Test the trigger
Installing the file does not create its automation. After the manual test, trigger the event once and check the result. If the shortcut picker is unavailable, create a blank automation, add Run Shortcut, and select this shortcut. Menus, previews and app-opening actions may still need interaction or an unlocked phone even with Run Immediately selected. If it stops, run from the shortcut’s … editor to identify the failing action.
