Complete ground-up rebuild brings more beautiful charts and better widgets, in a modernized experience to nearly 80,000 users
Rio de Janeiro, June 23, 2026 — Charty, the iOS app that lets users create and customize charts directly from Apple Shortcuts, today is getting updated to version 2.0 — a complete rebuild representing the app's most significant update since its original release in May 2020.
Built from scratch with SwiftUI, Swift Charts, and AppIntents, Charty 2.0 replaces the app's entire foundation to deliver a more polished charting experience, more reliable widgets, and a modern architecture designed for faster future development.
Since launching six years ago, Charty has been downloaded more than 79,500 times, carving out a unique niche as the go-to charting companion for the Shortcuts automation community. Version 2.0 arrives after an open beta that began February 5, 2026, with more than 300 testers providing feedback.
Charty 2.0 moves to a subscription model at $0.99/month or $9.99/year. Users who previously purchased Charty Premium retain full access to all features in 2.0 at no additional cost. Subscription-exclusive features will begin rolling out in version 2.1.
Charty is built and maintained by Rodrigo Araujo, an independent developer based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. What started as a personal tool for the Shortcuts community has grown into a six-year project downloaded nearly 80,000 times — all as a solo endeavor.

Charty lets users create, customize, and display charts directly from Apple Shortcuts. It's the go-to charting companion for the iOS automation community, connecting with apps like Data Jar, Toolbox Pro, Reminders, and web APIs to turn data into visuals — all without leaving the Shortcuts ecosystem.
I'm Rodrigo Araujo, an independent developer based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I created Charty in 2020 to bring charting capabilities to Apple's Shortcuts ecosystem — a gap no other app was filling at the time.
What started as a focused utility has grown into a six-year project with nearly 80,000 downloads, built and maintained entirely on my own. Charty 2.0 is the app's most ambitious milestone: a complete ground-up rebuild using modern Apple frameworks to set the foundation for years of future development.
I take a community-first approach to building Charty, engaging directly with users on Reddit, Mastodon, and Bluesky. I ran an open beta with over 300 testers before launch, and designed the 2.0 transition to respect the people who supported Charty early on — existing Premium purchasers keep full access at no extra cost, with subscription-only features starting in 2.1.
