Overview
Ressup integrates deeply with Siri Shortcuts, allowing you to create recipes, add ingredients and steps, start cooking, and navigate through your cook — all entirely by voice. This is especially powerful for hands-free cooking or for accessibility users who prefer voice interaction.
Siri commands are available on iOS 16 and later.
Viewing Available Commands
In the app, go to Menu > Siri Shortcuts to see a complete list of all available voice commands with descriptions of what each one does.
Recipe Creation Commands
"New recipe in Ressup"
This starts a conversational flow where Siri walks you through creating a complete recipe step by step:
- Siri asks for the recipe title.
- Siri asks for a description.
- Siri asks you to add ingredients one at a time (name and amount, e.g., "2 cups flour"). Say "done" when you've added all ingredients.
- Siri asks you to add steps one at a time (instruction and optional time, e.g., "Bake for 25 minutes"). Say "done" when finished.
- The recipe is saved automatically.

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 — You can also find and customize Ressup shortcuts in Apple's Shortcuts app, and even add them to your Lock Screen or Home Screen.
- Pronunciation — Ressup responds to several pronunciations: "Ressup," "Lessup," "Rezup" — so don't worry about getting it exactly right.
