Every Timix shortcut and Siri phrase, on one page
A timer matters most when your hands are full. Flour on your fingers, laundry in your arms, a call you can’t drop. That’s exactly when a phone wants to be picked up, unlocked and tapped.
Timix doesn’t need to be on screen for that. It has 14 actions in the Shortcuts app, and 10 of them answer a Siri phrase out of the box. None of that is new. What’s new is a guide that goes through every one of them on a single page.
Read the Timix Shortcuts guide
It gives you two things:
- The words to say. Each action comes with its built-in phrases, like “Hey Siri, start Tooth Brushing in Timix”, and where it runs: iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch.
- Which ones leave the app closed. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, 7 of the 14 do their work without opening Timix, even on a locked device. The guide says which is which.
If your hands are often busy, start with “Hey Siri, pause Timix.” Everything stops, and “Hey Siri, resume Timix” sets it going again. On iPhone, iPad and Mac the app stays closed. The countdown just changes.
The guide also covers giving any action your own phrase, automations that start a routine by themselves, and the reverse: a timer that runs your shortcut when it starts or ends.
Mine starts when I stop the morning alarm. The morning template is already counting down while I’m still deciding whether to be a person today.
Which phrase will you say first? Tell me.
