About the Serene integration

A good idea for tomorrow's focus block usually turns up at the worst time to act on it, standing in a queue, walking between meetings or lying awake before the day starts, and by the time a laptop is open again the thought has usually gone. Serene exists to block distracting websites and apps and build a day around one goal that matters, but it can only suggest a session for something that actually made it into the app.

Paired with Mobile Message through Zapier, a text sent to yourself becomes the fix for that gap. An inbound message can add a new entry to My Suggested Sessions in Serene, so an idea captured by phone while away from the desk is already sitting there, ready to block time around, by the time the Mac is open again.

Time Tracking Software

A Zapier account and subscription is required for this integration. Please view Zapier's pricing page for further information.

Tip: If you're simply looking to send a message to all your contacts, you may not need an integration at all. Most platforms let you export your contacts — you can then import them into Mobile Message and send an SMS to everyone in just a few clicks.

Serene + SMS: common questions

Can I text myself an idea and have it show up in Serene?

Yes. An inbound SMS trigger in Mobile Message can add a new entry to My Suggested Sessions in Serene, so a focus idea sent by text while you are away from your Mac is waiting there when you sit down to work.

Does Serene create the session automatically or just suggest it?

The action adds a suggested session rather than starting a focus block on its own, so it appears in Serene ready to pick up, and you still choose when to run it and block time around it.

What do I need to set up Serene with Mobile Message?

You need a Serene account, a Mobile Message account and a Zapier account joining the two, since Serene does not connect to Mobile Message directly. Once the Zap is active, a text to yourself can add a suggested session with no extra app to open.
