Set up "Hey Siri, sort it"

Start a new shortcut

• Open the Shortcuts app and tap + in the top corner.
• Tap the name at the top and call it Sort it. That's what you'll say to Siri.
• Prefer different words? Name it anything, like To-do or Family list, and say that instead. Skip names Siri already uses for Apple's apps, such as Reminder, Note or Add to list.
• Want a shortcut just for one person? Make a copy, name it something like Emma's chores, and in step 3 set the text value to Emma, a space, then Dictated Text. Everything said to it lands under Emma.
• Already have a shortcut called Kinboard or Sortpen? Open it, tap its name at the top, and rename it Sort it. Nothing else needs to change.

Add "Dictate Text"

• Tap Search Actions at the bottom, type Dictate Text, and tap it.
• Set Stop Listening to After Pause.

Add "Get Contents of URL"

1. Search Actions for Get Contents of URL and tap it.
2. Tap the blue URL bubble, clear it, and paste:
   Copy
3. Tap the ⌄ arrow to show more options. Set Method to POST.
4. Under Headers, tap Add new header.
   Key: type Authorization exactly (no space, no colon).
   Text: paste your key line:
   Sign in, then come back here to copy your key line. You can also find it in the app under ⋯ → Siri.
5. Set Request Body to JSON. Tap Add new field → Text. Key: text. For the value, tap the box and pick Dictated Text from the bar above the keyboard.

Check it matches the picture: one header only, and its left side reads Authorization.

Add "Speak Text"

• Tap Search Actions again, type Speak Text, and tap it. It goes below Get Contents of URL.
• It should read Speak Contents of URL. If not, tap the blank and pick Contents of URL.

Test it

• Tap ▶ at the bottom right and say: "Take out trash tomorrow at 7."
• You should hear: "Added Take out trash, tomorrow at 7:00 PM." It shows up in Inbox on your board.
• From now on, just say "Hey Siri, sort it," wait for the chime, and say the task.
