Shortcuts and Siri

Ask Siri to start, pause or check your plan, and use Bunplan's actions in your own shortcuts.

This content is not available in your language yet.

You can start a session or add a task without opening Bunplan.

Ask Siri

These phrases work on iPhone and iPad as soon as Bunplan is installed. There's nothing to set up.

Say	What happens
"Start a timer in Bunplan"	Starts a session with your usual timer
"Start Review chapter 3 in Bunplan"	Starts a session on that task
"Pause Bunplan"	Pauses the running session
"Continue in Bunplan"	Starts a session on the task you left off
"What's on today in Bunplan"	Tells you how many tasks you've planned today, and what's next
"Add a task in Bunplan"	Adds a task to Bunplan

Siri answers briefly, like "Started Review chapter 3" or "Paused. 25 min so far."

If a session is already running and you start another, Siri asks first: End "Review chapter 3" and start "Outline essay"?

In the Shortcuts app, search for Bunplan to find its actions.

Action	What it does
Start timer	Starts a session, with or without a task
Pause timer	Pauses the running session
Resume timer	Resumes a paused session
End session	Ends the running session and saves it to Records
Complete task	Marks a task done
Add task	Adds a task, with a title, and a project and date if you give them
What's on today	Returns today's tasks
Continue last task	Starts a session on the task you left off
Open project	Opens a project in Bunplan

On the Mac, the same actions are in Shortcuts for your own shortcuts. The Siri phrases above are for iPhone and iPad.

Put Start timer on the Home Screen as a shortcut, or run it from an automation, such as when you arrive at work.
Run What's on today each morning to hear the day's plan.
On an iPhone with an Action button, set it to a Bunplan Control instead. See Widgets and Controls.

To show only some projects while a system Focus is on, see Focus filters.
