What it does
Calorix supports Siri via App Shortcuts, so you can trigger logging hands-free. Ask Siri to start a voice or photo log and jump straight into capturing a meal — handy when your hands are busy cooking or you want to log the moment you finish eating.
How to use it
- 1Make sure Calorix is installed and you've opened it at least once so its shortcuts register.
- 2Ask Siri to start logging with Calorix, or add the shortcut in the Shortcuts app.
- 3Siri opens Calorix into the capture flow so you can log by voice or photo.
- 4Finish and save as usual.
Why it matters for calorie tracking
The fastest log is the one you can start without tapping through screens. Siri removes steps, making it more likely you'll log in the moment rather than forgetting later.
Devices & requirements
Siri integration is built on Apple's App Intents / App Shortcuts framework. Available on iOS; open the app once so the shortcuts become available to Siri and the Shortcuts app.
