Notes and Lists by Text - Common Questions
Just text allora with what you want on the list. Say something like "add to grocery list: eggs, milk, bread" or "shopping list: paper towels, dish soap." allora creates the list automatically based on what you text. You do not need to set up the list first or name it in advance - allora figures out what kind of list you mean from context. You can also just text a bunch of items and allora organizes them into a list for you. It works the same way you would text a friend to pick something up at the store.
Yes. You can have a grocery list, a packing list, a reading list, and any other list you need - all running at the same time. allora keeps them separate based on the name you use. When you say "add to grocery list" it goes to your grocery list. When you say "add to packing list" it goes there instead. To see a specific list, just ask - "send me my packing list" or "what is on my grocery list." allora keeps each list organized independently so items never bleed from one into another.
Text allora with the items and mention which list. For example, "add butter and cheese to grocery list" or "also need sunscreen for the packing list." If you recently added to a list and text more items without specifying which list, allora assumes you mean the same one. You can add a single item or several at once separated by commas. allora confirms what was added and tells you the total count so you know everything landed. Adding items takes one text message - no app to open, no screen to navigate.
Yes. Text something like "remove eggs from grocery list" or "take bread off the list" and allora removes it. You can also mark items as done while you shop - reply with the item name and allora checks it off. If you want to clear an entire list and start fresh, text "clear my grocery list" and allora wipes it clean. Removing items works the same natural language way as adding them. allora confirms what was removed so you always know the current state of your list without having to ask for the full thing.
Yes. You can set a reminder tied to your list. Text something like "remind me Saturday morning to check my grocery list" and allora sends you the full list at that time. This is helpful when you want to review what you need before heading to the store. You can also set recurring reminders - "every Sunday at 9am send me my grocery list" works too. The reminder includes all current items so you have everything in one message. It is like having a friend text you your shopping list right when you need it.
Yes. Text allora anything you want to remember and it saves it. Things like "note: the wifi password at the cabin is sunflower99" or "remember that Sarah likes oat milk." You can ask for your notes later - "what was the wifi password" or "what does Sarah like" and allora pulls up what you saved. Notes work alongside lists and reminders in the same text thread. There is no separate notes app to check. Everything lives in one conversation. It is useful for random details you need to capture in the moment and retrieve later.
Yes, grocery lists are one of the most popular uses. You can build your grocery list throughout the week as you think of things - text allora from the kitchen when you notice you are out of something, or add items while you are at work. When you get to the store, text "send me my grocery list" and you have everything in one message. You can check items off as you shop by replying with the item name. No more forgetting what you needed or scrolling through a notes app in the aisle. It works exactly like texting someone your list.
There is no practical limit on the number of items you can add to a list. Most people have between five and thirty items on a grocery list and allora handles that easily. If your list gets very long, allora may send it across multiple text messages to keep things readable. You can also ask for a summary instead of the full list - "how many items on my grocery list" gives you the count without listing everything. For most everyday uses like grocery lists, packing lists, and to-do lists, you will never hit a limit that matters.
