✅ Voice Whiteboard Commands
Section titled “✅ Voice Whiteboard Commands”The Whiteboard handler lets you add items to your to-do list and shopping list entirely by voice — including optional due dates and location-based reminders — without opening the whiteboard screen.
Opening the Whiteboard
Section titled “Opening the Whiteboard”- “Open the whiteboard”
- “Show me the whiteboard”
- “Open my shopping list”
- “Whiteboard”
- “Checklist”
These navigation commands open the Whiteboard sheet over whatever screen you’re currently on.
Adding a To-Do Item
Section titled “Adding a To-Do Item”Say “add”, “remind me to”, or “don’t forget” followed by the task.
Examples:
- “Add check the tyre pressure”
- “Remind me to top up the AdBlue”
- “Don’t forget to call the campsite”
- “Add a task to service the habitation door”
- “Put check oil level on the whiteboard”
The item is added to your default to-do list immediately and confirmed: “Added ‘Check the tyre pressure’ to the whiteboard.”
Adding a Shopping List Item
Section titled “Adding a Shopping List Item”Use shopping-specific keywords and the item goes to the shopping list automatically.
Examples:
- “Add milk to the shopping list”
- “Remind me to buy bread”
- “Add pasta to groceries”
- “Put olive oil on the shopping list”
The handler detects shopping intent from keywords like “buy”, “need”, “shopping list”, “groceries”, or “grocery list”, and routes the item to the correct list.
Adding with a Due Date
Section titled “Adding with a Due Date”Include a date or time and it’s extracted and attached to the item as a due date with a reminder.
Examples:
- “Remind me to check the gas on Friday”
- “Add call the garage tomorrow at 9am to the whiteboard”
- “Remind me to book a campsite on 15th March”
- “Don’t forget to pay the campsite fee on Sunday”
The assistant confirms the date: “Added ‘Call the garage’ to the whiteboard. I’ll remind you tomorrow at 9 AM.”
Date expressions understood include relative terms (today, tomorrow, this Friday, next week), weekday names, and absolute dates.
Adding with a Location Reminder
Section titled “Adding with a Location Reminder”If you say the name of one of your manifest zones or saved locations, the item is associated with that location. You’ll be reminded when you arrive there.
Examples:
- “Remind me to get oil when I get to Halfords”
- “Add buy propane when I get to the motorhome shop”
- “Remind me at the garage to check the brake pads”
The assistant confirms the location: “Added ‘Get oil’ to the whiteboard. I’ll remind you when you reach Halfords.”
Location matching checks your saved manifest zones by name. The longest matching name takes priority (so “Home Base” matches before “Home”).
Combining Date and Location
Section titled “Combining Date and Location”Both can be used in the same item. If both a date and a location are detected, both are attached and either trigger will fire first.
“Remind me to check the spare tyre on Saturday at the garage”
Tips and Edge Cases
Section titled “Tips and Edge Cases”Questions are not handled here: If you ask “What’s on my list?” or “Do I have pasta?”, those go to the Apple Intelligence fallback — the voice handler intentionally steps aside for questions so the LLM can give a full, natural answer from your list data.
Standalone “buy”: After stripping trigger words, if the remaining text starts with “buy”, that word is also removed (it’s redundant). So “remind me to buy milk” becomes the item “Milk”, not “Buy milk”.
Smart list detection: If you don’t specify which list (“whiteboard” or “shopping list”), the handler guesses based on the content. Items containing “buy” or “need” go to shopping; anything else goes to the to-do list.
List assignment in settings: The handler creates items in your first to-do or shopping list. If you have multiple lists, the first one found is used. Reorder your lists in the Whiteboard settings if you want a different one to be the default target for voice commands.
