Every year Apple releases new software and hardware. We are always looking for new ways to better integrate Kitchen Wall into how your phone works. This year one of the major new features of iOS 12 was opening up the Siri voice assistant to developers like us.

We are releasing an update to the app that takes advantage of this new way of integrating with Siri. We are going to start by allowing users to create “Siri Shortcuts” for lists that will allow you to open Kitchen Wall directly to a list by just using your voice.

For example, you will be able to issue a command just like this:

“Hey Siri… Open my grocery list…”

Try it out yourself:

  1. Open one of your lists
  2. Tap the ‘…’ menu
  3. Select ‘🎙 Open List with Siri Shortcut’
  4. Use the record button to record a phrase like ‘Open Groceries’
  5. Drop out of the app
  6. Say ‘Hey Siri’ and use your phrase
  7. Boom! The app opens directly to your list.

😊 Feedback is welcome!

Did you see our announcement for Artmoji? Others are starting to use them and make requests for new Artmoji. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we are already working on adding new Artmoji for you.
