Siri Shortcuts

Tended includes 10 Siri Shortcuts that let you log entries and query your data using your voice or the Shortcuts app.

Logging shortcuts (free)

Log an entry opens the editor. Describe my day proposes structured observations for review. Rate my day saves an overall date assessment from 1 to 5 without creating an entry. The existing Log a flare shortcut sets today’s Day Rating to 1; this low-rating marker does not record a clinical flare or PEM crash. Log a symptom records a timestamped symptom and severity. Connections remain optional and are made on iPhone.

Tell my carer (free)

“Hey Siri, tell my carer I need quiet” — sends a Quick Need broadcast to your carer via the Supported app. Siri only suggests labels you’ve configured in More › Sharing / Self-care › Quick Needs, so the vocabulary matches your real list. Designed for flare days when lifting the phone is too much. See the Quick Needs help topic for full details.

Data query shortcuts (Tended+)

“What’s my flare risk on Tended” — returns today’s historical pattern-match level. It is an observation from your journal, not a forecast.

“What’s my average rating on Tended” — returns your 30-day average day rating.

“How many flare days on Tended” — returns your flare day count this month.

“How did I sleep on Tended” — returns your last logged sleep quality.

“Medication adherence on Tended” — returns the proportion of scheduled doses you marked taken this month.

Using with automations

All shortcuts work with the Shortcuts app, so you can build automations. For example: “Every morning at 8am, read my Tended pattern-match level.” Or “When I get home, remind me to log an entry.” Do not use a journal automation as a medical alert or to delay seeking care.
