Model How hard it thinks

Lock screen and home screen

Idea button

One tap listens to you, shows your words so you can fix them, then sends the idea to Cockpit, without opening this page. It uses Apple’s Shortcuts app, which comes with your iPhone. Start with “For” and a project name to send it there.

Make the shortcut

Open the Shortcuts app and tap + at the top right.
Tap Search Actions, type Dictate Text, and tap it. If you pause while you think, tap its arrow and set Stop Listening to On Tap.
Search for Ask for Input and tap it. Set the input type to Text. For Prompt, type only Check your idea.
On Ask for Input, tap its arrow, tap Default Answer, then choose Dictated Text in the bar above the keyboard. Turn on Allow Multiple Lines. This puts your words in the box you can change.
Search for Get Contents of URL and tap it. Tap URL, then paste the web address from above.
Tap Show More (the arrow) on that step. Tap Method and choose POST. Request Body shows JSON.
Tap Add new field, then Text. For Key type key. For Text paste the button key from above.
Tap Add new field, then Text again. For Key type text. For Text tap Provided Input in the bar above the keyboard.
Search for Show Notification and tap it. Tap its words, delete them, and tap Contents of URL in the bar above the keyboard.
Tap the name at the top, tap Rename, type Cockpit idea, then tap Done.
Tap the shortcut once to try it. When it asks, allow speech and tap Always Allow.

If the words only highlight or scroll, check the shortcut’s Ask for Input step. Dictated Text belongs in Default Answer, not Prompt. Show Result and Quick Look show words but do not let you change them. The send step must use Provided Input to send your changes. These steps do not change a shortcut you already made.

Put it on your lock screen

Touch and hold the Lock Screen, then tap Customize and tap the Lock Screen.
Tap − on the flashlight or camera button, then tap + in the empty spot.
Search for Shortcut, tap it, choose Cockpit idea, then tap Done.

Put it on your home screen

Touch and hold an empty part of the Home Screen until the apps jiggle. Tap Edit at the top, then Add Widget.
Scroll down and tap Shortcuts. Pick the smallest size, tap Add Widget, then Done.
If it shows another shortcut, touch and hold it, tap Edit Widget, and choose Cockpit idea.

iPhone 15 Pro or newer: in Settings, tap Action Button, swipe to Shortcut, and choose Cockpit idea.
