Plume
Journal With Your Voice
Add gratitudes, memories, accomplishments, and journal entries using Siri — hands-free, without ever opening the app. All commands are built on Apple's App Intents framework.
Journaling Commands
These commands run entirely through Siri — the app never needs to open. Say the phrase, dictate your thought, and it's saved to today's entry.
Gratitude
Adds a gratitude to today's entry. Siri asks for the text.
Memory
Adds a memory to today's entry. Siri asks for the text.
Accomplishment
Adds an accomplishment to today's entry. Siri asks for the text.
Journal
Appends text to today's journal entry. Siri asks for the text.
Siri matches natural variations automatically
You don't need to say these phrases exactly. Siri uses Apple's App Shortcuts system to understand variations like "I want to log a gratitude" or "save an accomplishment in Plume."
