Bluebird Focus Timer

Automation Guide

With automation, you can have Bluebird run Siri Shortcuts when a focus session or break starts or ends.

On iPhone and iPad, shortcuts may be delayed until you return to Bluebird.

A Simple Example

To make Bluebird turn on “Do Not Disturb” when a focus session starts and turn it off when the session is over:

  1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
  2. Create a shortcut named “Turn On Focus Mode”.
  3. Add a “Set Focus” action, and configure it as follows: Turn On Focus Mode
  4. Create another shortcut named “Turn Off Focus Mode” in a similar way: Turn Off Focus Mode
  5. Go back to Bluebird’s automation settings and enter the names of the shortcuts you just created: Bluebird’s automation settings
