Siri Shortcuts
Manage your calendar hands-free using Siri and LucidPal.
LucidPal includes ten built-in Siri shortcuts. You can trigger them with your voice without ever opening the app.
Available Shortcuts
| Shortcut | Example phrase | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Ask LucidPal | "Ask LucidPal what's on my schedule" | Opens the app and sends your question |
| Check My Calendar | "Check my LucidPal calendar" | Shows today's events |
| Add Calendar Event | "Add dentist to LucidPal" | Starts an event creation |
| Find Free Time | "Find free time in LucidPal" | Finds a free 1-hour slot today |
| Delete Calendar Event | "Delete event in LucidPal" | Searches for an event, shows a preview, and deletes it after confirmation |
| Undo Last Action | "Undo my last LucidPal action" | Reverses the most recent calendar action (create, delete, or update) — whether triggered by Siri or inside the app |
| Save Note | "Save note to LucidPal" | Saves a titled note to LucidPal's notes store — runs without opening the app |
| Find Contact | "Find contact in LucidPal" | Looks up a contact's phone number and email by name — runs without opening the app |
| Log Habit | "Log habit in LucidPal" | Records a habit entry to LucidPal's habit store — runs without opening the app |
| Create Event Shortcut | "Create event shortcut in LucidPal" | Creates a calendar event via a dedicated shortcut intent |
Setting Up Siri Shortcuts
On iOS 16.4 and later, shortcuts are suggested automatically after you use LucidPal a few times. On earlier versions:
- Open the Shortcuts app — find it on your Home Screen or search in Spotlight.
- Tap the + button — create a new shortcut.
- Search for LucidPal — all ten intents appear in the app actions list.
- Add a Siri phrase — tap Add to Siri and record your preferred trigger phrase.
How It Works
Because LucidPal runs entirely on-device, Siri can't process your request directly. Instead:
- You say your phrase — Siri confirms with a brief spoken reply (e.g. "Let me check your calendar.")
- LucidPal opens in the foreground.
- Your request is automatically sent to the AI — no typing required.
- The response appears in a new conversation.
Examples
Checking your day:
"Hey Siri, check my LucidPal calendar"
Siri replies: "Let me check your calendar." LucidPal opens and immediately shows today's events.
Adding an event by voice:
"Hey Siri, add dentist to LucidPal"
Siri asks: "What would you like to add to your calendar?" You say: "Dentist appointment Friday at 10am" LucidPal opens and shows a preview card ready to confirm.
Finding a meeting slot:
"Hey Siri, find free time in LucidPal"
LucidPal opens and searches for the next free 1-hour slot today.
Deleting an event by voice:
"Hey Siri, delete event in LucidPal"
Siri replies: "Which event would you like to delete?" You say: "Team standup tomorrow" LucidPal shows a preview card of the matching event and asks you to confirm before deleting.
Undoing your last action:
"Hey Siri, undo my last LucidPal action"
LucidPal looks at what you did most recently — inside the app or via Siri — and reverses it:
| Last action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Deleted an event | LucidPal asks you to confirm, then restores it |
| Created an event | LucidPal asks you to confirm, then deletes it |
| Updated / rescheduled an event | LucidPal informs you that undo of edits isn't supported yet |
Tips
- Shortcuts work on iPhone, iPad, HomePod, AirPods, Apple Watch, and CarPlay.
- You can customize the trigger phrase to anything you like in the Shortcuts app.
- The Add Calendar Event shortcut lets you dictate the full event detail in one sentence — Siri passes everything to LucidPal.
- The Delete Calendar Event shortcut also responds to "Delete a LucidPal event" and "Remove event from LucidPal".
- The Undo Last Action shortcut also responds to "Undo what I just did in LucidPal", "Undo last LucidPal change", "Restore deleted event in LucidPal", and "Undo LucidPal deletion".
