Apple Highlights Apps With Siri Shortcuts Support

Apple has posted a press release highlighting apps that offer Siri Shortcuts support.

Now available with iOS 12, shortcuts use powerful on-device intelligence to help users get things done faster, whether it’s commuting, being more productive, staying healthy, and more. Here are some top apps that now offer Siri Shortcuts.




Morning Starters
Morning routines are now easier with Siri Shortcuts. Weather reports from top apps like The Weather Channel, CARROT and Dark Sky are quickly delivered with simple voice requests like “radar,” “rain report” and “UV index.” Citymapper helps manage the morning commute with real-time departures, line status and disruption alerts, and whether you travel by bus, train, bikeshare or Uber, using Siri Shortcuts on the Transit app makes it a snap to get where you need to go.





Productivity Tools
Siri Shortcuts help users tackle daily tasks in an instant. With just a tap on the Lock screen or by asking Siri, users quickly gain access to apps like Evernote, which has created shortcuts to easily share notes, create audio and camera notes and print. Create and update journal entries and record audio directly in the Day One app, and schedule and preview the day’s calendar for upcoming events and meetings with Fantastical. At work and at home, users can streamline projects, boards and cards with shortcuts in Trello, Omnifocus 3 and Things.




Healthy Habit Builders
Log calories and water easily with apps like Lose It!, Yazio and Waterminder. Use a shortcut to ask Siri the status of daily medications with MyTherapy, track habits with Streaks and instantly start a meditation for any time of day with 10% Happier or Headspace.



Siri will suggest shortcuts on your lock screen or in Search. You may also see an 'Add to Siri' button in apps. To find all the available shortcuts from your apps, go to Settings > Siri & Search.
