Siri Integration
Rubric supports 9 Siri commands across three categories: checking your data, logging on the go, and managing commitments.
Setup
There is none. Siri commands become available automatically after you install Rubric and sign in. The commands appear in the Shortcuts app and Siri suggestions without any configuration on your part. If you have not signed in to Rubric, Siri will prompt you to open the app first.
Checking Your Data
These commands retrieve information without changing anything.
| What You Say | What You Get |
|---|---|
| ”What’s my Rubric score?” | Today’s score, plus the area where you’re falling shortest if data is missing. |
| ”What’s my biggest gap on Rubric?” | The category (sleep, nutrition, activity) where you’re falling shortest today. |
| ”What’s my calorie balance on Rubric?” | Calories consumed versus your target for the day. |
| ”How did I sleep on Rubric?” | Last night’s sleep summary. |
If your score is not yet available (missing sleep, activity, or nutrition data), Siri will tell you what is needed to unlock it.
Logging on the Go
These commands create entries in your log. Each one passes through the same safety checks as in-app logging, including calorie range validation and allergen scanning.
| What You Say | What Happens |
|---|---|
| ”Log calories on Rubric” | Siri asks how many, then adds a calorie entry (valid range: 10-5,000 kcal). |
| ”Log food on Rubric” | Quick-logs a food item by name. Item names are limited to 200 characters. |
| ”Log a workout on Rubric” | Records a workout completion. Siri will ask for an optional duration. |
If Siri needs more information (e.g., you say “Log calories” without a number), it will ask a follow-up question before submitting the entry.
Managing Your Day
These commands help you act on your protocols and daily plan.
| What You Say | What Happens |
|---|---|
| ”What’s my next action on Rubric?” | Returns your next required action based on your active protocols and current status. |
| ”Lock my calorie target on Rubric” | Locks today’s calorie target so it cannot be adjusted. |
Safety on Voice-Logged Entries
Every write command runs through the same Iron Dome safety layer used by in-app logging. This means calorie entries are clamped to a valid range, food items are scanned against your allergen profile, and all entries are tagged as Siri-sourced in your audit trail. There is no safety gap between voice and in-app logging.

Rate Limits and Deduplication
To prevent accidental duplicates (particularly on Apple Watch, where a wrist raise can trigger Siri twice), Rubric enforces rate limits on write commands:
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Commands per minute | 3 |
| Commands per hour | 10 |
| Workout deduplication window | 60 seconds |
If you hit a rate limit, Siri will ask you to wait before trying again. The 60-second deduplication window on workouts means that triggering the same command twice in rapid succession results in only one entry.
Siri on Apple Watch
All 9 commands work identically on Apple Watch. Raise your wrist and speak. For details on the Watch experience, see Using Rubric on Apple Watch.
