Home Screen quick actions and links

How to add a vital or log your weight from the Titan icon, open Workouts or Trends, and which titan:// links open screens from Shortcuts.

Published September 24, 2026Updated Sep 28, 2026

Touch and hold the Titan icon on your Home Screen to add a reading to Apple Health or jump to a screen. You can also open Titan screens from the Shortcuts app with a titan:// link.

01Quick actions on the Home Screen

The menu has four actions. They work whether Titan is closed or already running in the background.

  • Add Vital opens a sheet for entering a reading by hand. It starts on HRV.
  • Log Weight opens the same sheet on Weight.
  • Workouts closes any screens you had open and opens Workouts on top of Today.
  • Trends closes any screens you had open and opens Trends on top of Today.

After Workouts or Trends opens, tap Back to return to Today.

02Add a reading by hand

The sheet saves one reading to Apple Health. Its title names the reading, and tapping the title opens a menu with HRV, Resting Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Blood Oxygen, and Weight. Titan uses these units.

ReadingUnitAccepted values
HRVMilliseconds5 to 300
Resting Heart RateBeats per minute25 to 150
Respiratory RateBreaths per minute4 to 40
Blood OxygenPercent70 to 100
WeightKilograms or pounds20 to 400 kg

Weight follows your metric or imperial setting. Under the value, the sheet shows your latest reading of that type in Health and when it was taken. Weight starts from your latest weight, since it changes little from day to day. The other readings start empty.

Enter the value, then set Time if the reading was taken earlier. Time can't be later than now. Tap Save. The sheet closes and a message confirms the reading was added to Health. A value outside the accepted range shows a message with the range to use.

Titan needs permission to write each type to Health. If you turned that off, the sheet says Titan can't save the reading and names the switch to turn on under Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Titan. The Health permissions article covers what Titan writes.

Titan responds to links that start with titan://. To use one, create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app, add the Open URLs action, and paste the link. You can then run it from a Home Screen icon, the Action button, or Siri. The same links also work from Safari or a note.

  • titan://today opens Titan on Today.
  • titan://today?focus=recovery opens the Recovery detail.
  • titan://today?focus=exertion opens the Exertion detail.
  • titan://today?focus=battery opens the Battery detail.
  • titan://trends opens Trends.
  • titan://workouts opens Workouts.
  • titan://journal opens the Journal.
  • titan://you opens the You screen.
  • titan://settings opens Settings. titan://more does the same.

Each link except the plain Today link closes any open screens first, so Back returns you to Today. If you pass a focus value Titan does not recognize, the link opens Today with no detail. Capital letters in the screen name or focus value make no difference. See the Journal guide for tagging a day.

The widgets use the same focus links. Tapping a Recovery, Exertion, or Battery widget opens that detail.
