Using Plannie with Siri
Got your hands full? If Plannie is installed on your iPhone or iPad and you're signed in, Siri can do the quick adds for you — no setup or account linking needed. Say the phrases below (always including "in Plannie"); Siri asks a follow-up when it needs more, and reads back a confirmation when it's done. Everything appears in the app instantly, attributed to Siri in the Activity log. The phrases work in English and Swedish.
What you can say
- Add a chore — "Add a chore in Plannie" or "New chore in Plannie". Siri asks for the chore and who it's for, then adds it to that member's column on the Habits board as a one-time, Morning habit. Mention how often — "every day", "on weekdays", or "every week" — to make it repeat.
- Add to a list — "Add to a list in Plannie" or "Add an item to a list in Plannie". Say the item, then pick which list it goes on.
- Create a list — "Make a new list in Plannie" or "Create a list in Plannie".
- Add an event — "Add an event in Plannie" — "meeting" and "appointment" work too, as does "Schedule an event in Plannie". Siri shows the details to confirm before adding it to the Calendar.
- Move an event — "Move [event] in Plannie" or "Reschedule [event] in Plannie", naming one of your upcoming events. Give the new time and confirm — the event keeps its length. Repeating events can't be moved by voice; Siri will ask you to open Plannie instead.
- Hear today's schedule — "What's on the family calendar in Plannie" or "What's happening today in Plannie".
- Complete a chore — "Complete [chore] in Plannie" or "Mark [chore] done in Plannie".
Good to know
- Siri matches these set phrases for now — freer phrasing ("remind my son to walk the dog") won't reach Plannie yet.
- The same shortcuts appear in the Shortcuts app and Spotlight, and can be assigned to the Action Button.
- Adding or moving an event asks you to confirm first; chores and list items are added straight away.
- If your device is locked, Siri will ask you to unlock it first.
Siri shortcuts are for quick, single actions. For anything more involved — "plan tacos on Friday and put the ingredients on the groceries list" — open Plannie Assistant in the app.
