Build useful Mement shortcuts

Combine record creation, editing, GTD, Habits, Spaces, Sessions, and navigation into repeatable actions.

Try it in Mement
1. Open Apple Shortcuts, create a shortcut, and use Add Action to find Mement.
2. Choose the action that matches the result you want. Read its parameters before adding the next action.
3. Select the saved record, parent, or Space explicitly when the shortcut should always use the same context.
4. Run the shortcut manually with a small example and inspect the result in Mement.
5. Add a following action when it helps, such as Show Result for a summary or Open Today after capturing work.
6. After the manual run works, use the shortcut through Siri or a personal automation supported by your system.

Start with the action you want to repeat

The action catalog covers more than adding Tasks. You can create and update Tasks, Lists, Projects, and Areas; complete, reopen, delete, or restore those records; and complete unfinished Tasks inside a selected List, Project, or Area. Creation and editing actions expose different parameters, so inspect the one you plan to use.
GTD actions open Workflow or Review and find or set statuses for Tasks, Lists, Projects, and Areas. For Habits, actions include creation, editing, logging progress, skipping an eligible day, lifecycle changes, and completing or reopening checklist actions. Spaces have create, update, activate, delete, and restore actions. Session actions start a Task or Habit Session and control the current Session. Navigation actions open records, Today, search, Analytics, Nearby, and Big View.
Use batch completion deliberately. “Complete Tasks In Project” acts on the project’s unfinished Tasks; it is a different action from completing the Project itself. Test with a small example before putting such an action in an automation.

Choose the context that the shortcut should use

A shortcut that always captures work for the same project should name that parent. Some creation actions use the active Space when a Space is omitted. That can be convenient for a personal capture shortcut, but an explicit choice is clearer when you run the same shortcut in several contexts.
The in-app Smart editor provides the filter configuration. A shortcut that creates a List or Space does not automatically reproduce every Smart condition from another record. Add the Smart setup in Mement when your recipe needs it.
List generation actions can open a review or use an explicitly selected creation mode. Read that action’s options and check the resulting List. For a Session, another running Session needs to be resolved before the shortcut can start a replacement.

Open your work context

First save a Space called “Work” in Mement. In Shortcuts, add Activate Space and choose Work in its Space parameter. Follow it with Open Today if that is where you begin the day. Run the shortcut and check the active Space in Mement.
If you want to create a new Space, use Create Space instead. An empty parameter in Activate Space clears the active selection. Apple’s Focus List filter is a separate setting for a widget, so it can be configured alongside this shortcut when needed.

Read a Project or Area summary

Add Summarize Project, select “Prepare the presentation”, then pass its returned text to Apple’s Show Result action. The summary gives you a way to review the current supported project content. Compare it with your records when deciding the next action.
Summarize Area follows the same pattern with an Area parameter. These summaries require Pro, the relevant Mement AI setting, and an available on-device model. If the model is unavailable, use the project or area details directly while checking its requirements.

Record ten minutes of reading

For a reading Habit that tracks Duration, add Log Habit and choose the saved Habit. Set Value to 10 and optionally add the note “Evening reading”. Run it on an eligible day, then open the Habit history and check the ten-minute entry.
Use an explicit amount for a numeric recipe. When a value is omitted, the action can use the remaining target. For a checklist Habit, complete its actions first; checklist actions and the final progress entry are separate steps.

Start and control a Session

Add Start Session for a Task and choose its duration, or use the Habit Session action for a Habit. After running it, open the Session in Mement and confirm the linked record and timer. Pause, Resume, End, and Open Session work with the current synchronized Session.
Ending a Session records the timer outcome. Complete the linked Task or confirm Habit progress through the appropriate action when that is your intended result. This keeps a timer automation from accidentally standing in for a different action.

Find the rest of the catalog

The suggested Mement tiles show a selection of App Shortcuts. Use Add Action to find the other actions described here. A missing suggested tile does not mean its action is unavailable.
Siri recognition and suggestions depend on Apple’s device, system, and language support. If Siri gives an unexpected result, run the shortcut directly first. The newer Apple 27 Reminders assistant actions have their own Task-field mapping; they are a separate integration from the broader Mement action catalog.
