You want the Casushi app open and your phone quiet the moment you sit down to play, without tapping through Settings every time. An iOS Shortcut does exactly that: one tap or a Siri phrase opens the app and flips on Do Not Disturb. This walkthrough builds the automation from scratch, adds a home-arrival trigger, and covers the loyalty points check that needs Siri permissions enabled first.
Build the basic launch-and-silence Shortcut
The core Shortcut has two actions: Open App, pointing at Casushi, and Set Focus, turning on Do Not Disturb. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, tap the plus icon, and give the shortcut a name you will actually remember, something like “Casushi Time”. Tap Add Action, search for Open App, and pick Casushi from the list. The app must already be installed, so if you have not yet done so, Apple users download the Casushi app from the App Store before building anything.
Add the second action by searching for Set Focus. Choose Do Not Disturb and set the action to Turn On. Run the shortcut once to confirm it works: the Casushi app should launch and the moon icon should appear in your status bar. If you want the automation to reverse itself, add a Wait action of 60 minutes followed by Set Focus turned off, though most players prefer to switch DND back manually so a session never gets cut short mid-hand.
One practical detail: the Set Focus action asks for permission to change Focus modes the first time it runs. Approve it once and the prompt stops appearing. You can also set the shortcut to ask before running, which is useful if you share the phone with someone who does not want their notifications silenced by your shortcut.
Trigger the Shortcut when you arrive home
The Automation tab in Shortcuts handles location triggers. Tap Automation, then Create Personal Automation, and scroll to Arrive. Set the location to your home address and drag the radius down to its smallest setting so the trigger fires when you actually pull into the drive, not three streets away. Choose Run Immediately rather than Ask Before Running, otherwise the automation stalls on a confirmation prompt every time.
Add the same two actions from your manual shortcut: Open App for Casushi and Set Focus Do Not Disturb on. The result is a phone that goes quiet and a lobby that appears the moment you walk through the door, which removes the small friction that usually ends with you scrolling notifications instead of playing. If you also want the reverse on departure, build a second automation using the Leave trigger that turns Do Not Disturb off.
Location automations drain a little battery because iOS polls your position in the background. If that bothers you, restrict the automation to a time window, for example weekday evenings only, using the Time of Day condition inside the automation settings. The trade-off is fewer triggers, but the battery cost drops to near zero outside your chosen hours.
Keeping the trigger reliable across iOS updates
Apple has changed automation permissions more than once between iOS releases, and a location automation that ran silently on iOS 16 may ask for confirmation on a later version. Check the automation after each major update by walking out of range and back in. If it prompts, open the automation settings and re-select Run Immediately. This takes thirty seconds and saves you from wondering why your phone stayed loud during a session.
Add a loyalty points check with a URL scheme
Casushi exposes a URL scheme that lets a shortcut jump straight to specific in-app screens, and the loyalty points page is one of them. The catch is Siri permissions: the shortcut needs permission to pass the URL to the app, and Siri needs permission to run the shortcut by voice. Open Settings, find Siri & Search, and make sure Shortcuts is allowed. Then in the Shortcuts app, add a URL action containing the loyalty scheme link and follow it with an Open URLs action.
Once built, you can ask Siri “Hey Siri, Casushi points” and the app opens on your loyalty balance without any tapping. Add the same shortcut to a widget on your home screen if you prefer a tap. https://casushi-online.uk/app/ offers additional context worth reviewing. Note that the URL scheme only works when the Casushi app is installed; on a device without it, the shortcut opens Safari instead and the points page will not load. Android users access the Casushi site through a mobile browser and can replicate the effect with a Chrome home screen shortcut, though the URL scheme itself is an iOS feature.
The Siri permission layer is the part people miss. Without it, the shortcut runs fine from the Shortcuts app but Siri answers “I cannot find that shortcut” when you speak the phrase. Re-record the phrase in the shortcut settings after enabling permissions, because Siri sometimes keeps a stale copy of the trigger.
Combining the points check with the launch shortcut
You can fold the points check into the main shortcut with a menu action: when the shortcut runs, it asks whether you want to play or check points, then routes to the right URL or app launch. This keeps your Shortcuts library tidy and means one Siri phrase covers both jobs. The menu adds a single tap, so decide whether that is worth the tidiness before you rebuild a working shortcut.
Match the automation to how the Casushi app actually works
Shortcuts only automate what the app exposes, and Casushi keeps its mobile features inside the app or the browser rather than in a standalone file. Casushi does not publish a standalone Android APK file, so any site offering one is not the real thing. On iPhone the App Store listing is the only legitimate install route, and on Android the responsive site detects screen dimensions automatically and serves a layout built for the phone. Neither route needs sideloading, and neither should ever ask you to install a profile.
The Casushi app supports Face ID logins, which pairs well with a shortcut: launch the app, authenticate with Face ID, and you are in the mobile lobby in under five seconds. The mobile lobby includes the welcome offer, so a new player who sets up the shortcut on day one sees the bonus without hunting through menus. The cashier in the app manages payments, and because deposits run through the same secure flow as the rest of the app, the shortcut never touches payment details. It only opens screens.
The Casushi mobile site offers responsible play tools, and it is worth wiring one into your automation rather than leaving it buried. A simple addition to the departure automation, a notification reminding you to check your session time, keeps the habit visible. Push notifications from the app can also be silenced by the same Do Not Disturb action, which is one of the quieter benefits of the setup: the bonus alerts and result pings stop arriving mid-session without you having to mute them individually.
Keep your expectations calibrated. This website operates as an information page only and does not host the app, so the download links and URL scheme details live with Casushi itself. If a shortcut stops working after an app update, the scheme or the app identifier has probably changed, and rebuilding the Open App action usually fixes it.
Checklist before you rely on it
Run through this before you trust the automation with a real session. Confirm the Casushi app is installed from the App Store and opens normally. Confirm the Set Focus action has permission to change Do Not Disturb. Confirm the location automation is set to Run Immediately and the radius is at its smallest. Confirm Siri & Search permissions are on if you want the voice trigger, and re-record the phrase after any permission change. Confirm the URL scheme opens the loyalty page rather than Safari.
Then test the whole thing once: leave home, come back, and watch whether the app opens and the moon icon appears without a prompt. If both happen, you are set. If the app opens but DND stays off, the Set Focus action is the culprit nine times out of ten, and re-adding it usually clears the fault. If DND turns on but the app does not open, check that the Open App action still points at Casushi rather than a stale copy of the app.
A final note on restraint: automating the launch is genuinely useful, but automating too much turns a five-second habit into a maintenance project. Two shortcuts, one for launch-and-silence and one for the points check, cover everything most players need. Add the home-arrival trigger, test it after each iOS update, and leave the rest of your phone alone.
