Overview
Ressup integrates deeply with Siri Shortcuts, so you can create recipes, add ingredients and steps, start cooking, and move through a cook using your voice when your hands are busy. That is essential in a working kitchen and for anyone who prefers voice interaction.
Siri commands are available on iOS 16 and later.
Where to Find Commands
In the app, open the menu and choose Siri Shortcuts for a short list of example Hey Siri phrases and quick help while cooking.
Ressup registers many more actions as App Intents. Open Apple's Shortcuts app, search for Ressup, and browse or customize every intent the app exposes (edit ingredient, export shopping list, read steps, previous step, tags, and more).
Recipe Creation Commands
"New recipe in Ressup"
The primary New Recipe Flow collects title, description, servings, and difficulty, saves the recipe, then tells you to continue with separate commands. Say "Add ingredients" / "Add ingredients to the recipe" to add items one at a time (name, unit, amount, optional prep). Say "Add steps" / "Add steps to the recipe" to add instructions and optional times.
Example follow-up phrases include "Add ingredients in Ressup" and "Add steps in Ressup" (exact wording can vary; check Shortcuts for the full set).
Alternative phrases for the new-recipe intent: "Create a new recipe in Ressup", "Make a new recipe in Ressup", and similar.
"Add ingredients to the recipe"
Adds ingredients to the current recipe (the one Ressup associates with your last Siri creation flow). Siri asks for each ingredient's details.
"Add steps to the recipe"
Adds steps to the current recipe with optional durations for Cooking Mode timers.
"Edit a recipe in Ressup"
Starts the edit flow for an existing recipe. Additional intents can edit a specific ingredient or step when run from Shortcuts.
Cooking Mode Commands
"Start cooking in Ressup"
Enters Cooking Mode for your most recently viewed recipe. You will see the first step right away and can continue with voice or gestures without precise tapping.
Alternative phrases: "Start cooking"
"What's the next step in Ressup"
Advances to the next step in Cooking Mode. Siri will read the new step instruction aloud.
Alternative phrases: "Next step"
"Repeat current step in Ressup"
Repeats (re-reads) the current step. Useful if you missed something or want to hear it again.
Alternative phrases: "Repeat step"
"Stop cooking in Ressup"
Exits Cooking Mode and returns to the recipe detail page.
Alternative phrases: "Stop cooking"
"Previous step" / previous-step intents
Go back one step while cooking (for example "Previous step in Ressup").
"Start timer in Ressup"
When a timed step is active, this can open the Cooking Timer sheet with the step duration.
Recipe Search & Reading Commands
"Open recipe in Ressup"
Opens a specific recipe by name. Siri will ask for the recipe name if you don't include it.
"Find recipe"
Searches your recipes by name or ingredients. Siri shows matching results.
"Read recipe steps for [recipe name]"
Reads all the steps of a recipe aloud, one after another. Great for a quick overview before you start cooking.
Export Commands
"Export shopping list" / "Create shopping list from recipe"
Builds a shopping list for a recipe you name. If you scaled servings on the recipe detail screen, the list can honor that session scale.
Other App Intents (Shortcuts)
From the Shortcuts app you can also run actions such as Read Recipe Steps, Get Recipe Summary, Add Tag to Recipe, Edit Ingredient, Edit Step, and standalone New Ingredient / New Step flows. Titles and parameters appear exactly as Apple displays them for each intent.
Tips for Best Results
- Speak clearly - Siri works best with clear, natural speech.
- Include "Ressup" - For commands that might be ambiguous, including the app name helps Siri route the command correctly.
- Use the Shortcuts app - Pin or automate advanced intents, add them to the Lock Screen, or chain Ressup with other actions.
- Pronunciation - iOS also exposes alternate spoken names for the app (for example in Settings and the system vocabulary). If Siri mishears, try the phrasing suggested in Ressup's Siri Shortcuts screen.
