Help / Billine on your Apple devices

Siri and Shortcuts

Add a task, hear how your day looks, complete a task or open a list, by voice or from the Shortcuts app.

Reference

Billine’s Siri phrases work as soon as the app is installed and has been opened once. Each one names Billine at the end.

Add a task

Say “Add a task in Billine”. Siri asks “What do you need to do?”, and you say the task the way you’d type it:

call the dentist tomorrow at 9 ~15m

Saved as call the dentist

  • Tomorrow
  • 9:00 AM
  • 15m

Siri answers “Added call the dentist for tomorrow.” or, with no day, “Added … to your inbox.”

Siri always asks for the task in a second step. Apple doesn’t let an app’s phrase include free-form words, so “Add call the dentist to Billine” in one breath won’t work.

Good to know

What you say is read in your capture language. If you speak Spanish to Siri, set Settings › Capture to Español, or dates stay in the title. See Capture in Spanish.

Every phrase

Say Billine
“Add a task in Billine”, “Capture in Billine”, “Remind me in Billine” Asks what to add, then captures it.
“How’s my day in Billine”, “What’s on my plate in Billine” Says how many tasks you committed to, how full the day is, and the first one up.
“Complete task in Billine”, “Mark a task done in Billine” Completes it. For a repeating task, says when the next one is.
“Open Today in Billine” (or Inbox, Upcoming, Stale review) Opens Billine there.
“Quick capture in Billine” Opens the New task sheet.

In the Shortcuts app

Every phrase is also an action in Shortcuts, plus one more: Commit a task to today, which says how much free time is left or how far over the day is. Use them in your own shortcuts, or put Open in Billine or Quick capture on the Action button.

If Siri says it can’t find Billine, open Billine once, then check that Siri is allowed for it in Settings › Apps › Billine › Siri.
