DeskRest 1.11.0: Siri Shortcuts Integration and German Language Support

4 min readApp Update, Siri Shortcuts, Localization

The boundaries between work and wellness keep evolving, and we're excited to help you navigate them more seamlessly than ever before. DeskRest 1.11.0 introduces two features that make workplace wellness more accessible and intuitive: Siri Shortcuts integration and full German language support.

Siri Shortcuts Integration

Remember the last time you were deep in a coding session or creative flow, only to realise your eyes felt strained and your shoulders ached? Now, instead of breaking your concentration to navigate through menus, you can simply say “Hey Siri, start my break” and let DeskRest handle the rest.

Your Voice, Your Control

The new Siri Shortcuts feature transforms how you interact with DeskRest, offering voice-controlled access to essential functions:

  • Restart DeskRest Timer: Reset your break timer
  • Add One Minute to Focus Session: Extend your current work period by one minute when you need just a bit more time
  • Start Long Break Now: Instantly begin a long break when you need extended rest
  • Start Short Break Now: Immediately trigger a short break for quick rejuvenation

Workflow Integration That Works

The Shortcuts app also opens up creative possibilities for automation enthusiasts. Set up location-based triggers to automatically pause DeskRest when you arrive at the coffee shop, or create time-based routines that align your break schedule with your daily standup meetings.

Guten Tag, German Users!

Our international user base has been growing rapidly, with German-speaking countries representing a significant portion of DeskRest users. This update delivers complete German localisation, making workplace wellness truly accessible in your native language.
