App Shortcuts are available on supported Apple operating systems where Siri, Spotlight, and the Shortcuts app support the action. Exact phrasing and presentation can vary by language and system version.

What the plan changes
Free-tier medicine and schedule limits still apply. An individual shortcut can also depend on the underlying feature or information being available in DoseKeeper.
Important context

Always check the resolved medicine, date, and amount before confirming a logging action. Voice recognition and system suggestions can be imperfect.
