Apps

Siri and Shortcuts

Where: iPhone → Settings → Siri & Shortcuts lists every command with the phrase to say.

Nothing to set up — each phrase names the app, and each acts on your tasks the way the app does: the change is on screen at once and syncs everywhere. Siri answers with a card drawn like Cotask's own rows, and the circles in it complete the task (or accept a draft) right there.

  • Add Task — "Add a task in Cotask". Siri asks what the task is; a Shortcut can also set the project, due date, priority, status and notes.
  • What's on My List — "What's on my list in Cotask". What's in progress and what's due today or overdue, read out, with up to six rows to check off.
  • Review Drafts — "Review my drafts in Cotask". What agents suggested, each with Accept.
  • Delegate to AI — "Delegate a task with Cotask". Hands a task to a route (the one used last unless you pick) and starts it, as the button in the task does. Pro.
  • Complete Task, Start Task, Open Task — "Mark buy milk done in Cotask", "Start the deck in Cotask", "Open the deck in Cotask". A repeating task rolls forward when completed; a note of completion can be added from a Shortcut (Pro).
  • Show List — "Show Backlog in Cotask": the app opens on a filter or a project.

In the Shortcuts app there is also Update Task (status, due date, priority, project — accepting a draft is setting it to Todo), Delete Task (Siri confirms first) and Find Tasks, with filters on title, status, priority, project, due date and whether an agent drafted it, and sorting.

Apple Intelligence. On iOS 27 Cotask speaks Siri's own vocabulary for to-dos: a task is a reminder and a project is a list, so "add a reminder in Cotask to call Ana tomorrow", "move it to Friday", "flag it" (high priority), "make a list called Website" and "search Cotask for the launch" work without a phrase being taught. While a task is open, Siri knows which one is on screen — "mark this done", "what's this task about". Tags, sections and location-based reminders aren't kept.

Spotlight. Your open tasks, and the ones finished in the last week, are in Spotlight: type a title and open the task. Signing out takes them out again.
