Swiftflip

Siri and Shortcuts

Add a card, practice or search by voice.

Ask Siri to add a card, start practice or search your library. App Shortcuts work the moment you install.

More actions need no setup.

Add a card, practice a deck, open a deck or search your library with Siri or the Shortcuts app.

Voice-triggered review removes one small friction from a daily habit: opening the app. Swiftflip ships App Shortcuts that work with Siri out of the box and a Shortcuts action library you can build your own automations on top of.

App Shortcuts that work without setup

These actions are available the moment you install Swiftflip:

  • Add Card: create a flashcard in a deck you pick
  • Practice Due Cards: start a session with the cards that are due now
  • Practice Deck: start a session in a specific deck
  • Open Deck: open a deck in the app
  • Search Library: open library search
  • Check Due Cards: ask how many cards are due without starting a session
  • View Decks: open the decks list
  • View Insights: open the Insights tab

Say “Hey Siri, add a card in Swiftflip” and the Add Card flow starts. Say “Hey Siri, practice due cards in Swiftflip” and a session starts. Say “Hey Siri, search in Swiftflip” and library search opens.

Phrasings that work with Siri

Each App Shortcut accepts a few wordings. The English phrases that match without setup:

Add Card

  • “Add a card in Swiftflip”
  • “Create a flashcard in Swiftflip”

Practice Due Cards

  • “Practice due cards in Swiftflip”
  • “Study flashcards in Swiftflip”
  • “Review due cards in Swiftflip”
  • “Practice in Swiftflip”

Practice Deck

  • “Practice a deck in Swiftflip”
  • “Practice [deck name] in Swiftflip”

Open Deck

  • “Open [deck name] in Swiftflip”

Search Library

  • “Search in Swiftflip”

Check Due Cards

  • “Check due cards in Swiftflip”
  • “Due for practice in Swiftflip”
  • “What’s due in Swiftflip”
  • “Show due cards in Swiftflip”
  • “Cards due for review in Swiftflip”

View Decks

  • “Show decks in Swiftflip”
  • “Open decks in Swiftflip”

View Insights

  • “View insights in Swiftflip”

  • “Check study statistics in Swiftflip”

Each phrase ships with a Swedish equivalent so Siri works in either language.

Build your own Shortcuts

In the Shortcuts app, chain Swiftflip actions or attach them to a schedule.

From there you can:

  • attach a practice session to a Focus mode
  • chain actions, such as open a deck then start practice
  • trigger from time-of-day automations
  • add a Shortcut to a Home Screen widget

Why this matters

Spaced repetition rewards consistency. Voice and automation make a daily session something you can trigger with a sentence or a timer rather than navigating into the app. The cards do not change, but the hardest part, starting, gets shorter.
