Keep it running

Routines

Turn several things you do into one word: name a sequence once, then say the name to run it all, in order.

How it works

Each step runs as if you had said it, with its own approvals, so a routine never says yes for you; a step that fails or asks stops there. When done it shows what it did, or what it found.

Undoing runs the opposite of each step, last first: zen mode is left, hidden apps come back, and a window the routine filled or placed goes back where it was. A step with no safe opposite, such as opening an app, stays as it is.

Your name beats a built-in one of the same name. Jevie also notices requests you often do together and offers to name them, never ones that send, spend or delete.

Limits

• Up to eight steps and a name of up to four words; the name runs only as the whole sentence.
• Words like stop, undo, yes and no stay Jevie's and cannot be a name.
