DeskRest 1.11.0: Siri Shortcuts Integration and German Language Support
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.
