FAQ

Common questions.

Which Apple devices can use Sense Shortcuts?

Anywhere Siri runs - iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod, CarPlay, and the Mac. Shortcuts you set up appear across all of them automatically.

Do I need to set up phrases manually?

No. Sense registers App Intents with iOS, so Siri suggests phrases like "List today in Sense" and "Add reminder in Sense" once the app is installed. You can also customize phrases in the iOS Shortcuts app.

What shortcuts are available?

Add Event, Add Reminder, List Today's Events, List Upcoming Reminders, Ask Sense, Complete Chore, and Get Bedtime Story.

Does it work on Apple Watch without an iPhone nearby?

Cellular Apple Watches can trigger Sense shortcuts standalone. Wi-Fi-only watches need the iPhone in range. Either way the request needs internet to reach Sense's AI.
