Apple Shortcuts + BetterKey
BetterKey adds car actions to Apple Shortcuts, so you can wire lock and unlock commands into the routines you already build: time of day, location, CarPlay, Focus, NFC, or whatever comes next.

Actions you can compose
BetterKey exposes native actions for locking, unlocking, securing every connected car, finding where you parked, and checking whether any windows are open. Add them to personal automations, reusable shortcuts, or larger flows that combine your car with Weather, Home, Calendar, Focus, NFC tags, location triggers, and CarPlay events.
Example builds
These guides are examples, not a fixed menu. Use them as a starting point, swap the trigger, change the vehicle, add conditions, or fold the BetterKey action into a bigger shortcut.
BetterKey supports Lock, Unlock, Lock All, Find My Car, and Check Windows in Apple Shortcuts.
Yes. Lock actions work well in scheduled routines, location automations, CarPlay events, Focus-based triggers, NFC tags, or any other trigger Apple supports. Check Windows can return an optional true or false value for conditions in a larger shortcut. Find My Car opens BetterKey to your saved parking location.
No. Unlock, Find My Car, and Check Windows require local device authentication. Lock and Lock All are designed for automations that can run without opening BetterKey.
Yes. The setup flow lets you choose a specific vehicle where the action supports it, or use Lock All when the shortcut should apply to every car.
Lock, Unlock, and Lock All work from iPhone and Apple Watch. Find My Car opens BetterKey on iPhone.
