Siri

Talk to Chronos

• “Hey Siri, talk to Chronos” — Siri asks “What do you need?”
• “Hey Siri, ask Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, check with Chronos”

Ask for anything in your own words: add or move tasks and events, find time, summarise your week or a project, start a list, add to your journal, tick something off and more. Use it whenever the other phrases don't fit.

Your agenda

• “Hey Siri, what's on my agenda in Chronos today”
• “Hey Siri, what's on my agenda in Chronos tomorrow”
• “Hey Siri, what's on my agenda in Chronos this week”
• “Hey Siri, what's next in Chronos”

Saying “What's on my agenda in Chronos” without a day tells you what's next.

Add a meeting

• “Hey Siri, add a meeting in Chronos at 4pm” — Siri asks “What's the purpose of this meeting?”
• “Hey Siri, add a meeting in Chronos” — Siri asks “When is it and what's it about?”
• “Hey Siri, add an appointment in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, book a meeting in Chronos”

A time in the phrase books the meeting for today. Any hour or half hour from 6am to 9pm works (“6:30am”, “1pm”, “8:30pm”). For another day, or a time like 4:15, leave the time out and tell Chronos when it is.

Add a task

• “Hey Siri, add a task in Chronos” — Siri asks “What do you need to do?”
• “Hey Siri, add a to-do in Chronos”

Chronos schedules the task straight away and tells you when it's on.

Lists

• “Hey Siri, create a shopping list in Chronos” — Siri asks “What would you like to add?”
• “Hey Siri, add to my shopping list in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, create a list in Chronos” — Siri asks “What's the list called, and what should go on it?”

Shopping, grocery, packing and to-do lists each have their own “Create a … list” and “Add to my … list” phrases. Name several items in one go. For any other list, say “Create a list in Chronos”.

Mark a task done

• “Hey Siri, mark my next task done in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, I finished my task in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, mark a task done in Chronos”

Chronos names your current or next task and waits for you to say yes before ticking it off.

Find time or reschedule

• “Hey Siri, find time for a call in Chronos” — Siri asks “How long, and by when?”
• “Hey Siri, find time for a meeting in Chronos” — Siri asks “How long, and by when?”
• “Hey Siri, check if I'm free in Chronos” — Siri asks “When?”
• “Hey Siri, push my next task to tomorrow in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, reschedule something in Chronos” — Siri asks “What needs moving, and to when?”
• “Hey Siri, find time in Chronos” — Siri asks “What needs moving, and to when?”

Plan and review

• “Hey Siri, plan my day in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, summarise my week in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, give me my brief in Chronos”

Each also works with “with Chronos”. Your brief covers what matters today and anything at risk.

Log a habit

• “Hey Siri, log sleep eight hours in Chronos”
• “Hey Siri, log a habit in Chronos” — Siri asks “Which habit?”

Say “Log”, then the habit's name. It doesn't have to be exact: “sleep eight hours” finds a habit called “Sleep 8hrs” (iOS 17 or later). With only one habit, “Log a habit” logs it without asking. Siri tells you your streak, or that today's target is already met.

Journal and mood

• “Hey Siri, add a journal entry in Chronos” — Siri asks “How's your day going?”
• “Hey Siri, journal in Chronos” — Siri asks “How's your day going?”
• “Hey Siri, log my mood in Chronos” — Siri asks “How are you feeling?”
