How do I create and manage lists?
To start creating and managing lists, you can use the Vitros web site or download the mobile app. It's free and takes less than one minute to get started.
Once you're logged in, navigate to the Lists tab. This feature helps you organize tasks, ideas, and items across multiple lists with smart suggestions, completion tracking, and flexible organization options.
Getting started - Multiple ways to create lists
Quick text entry: In the text area in the chat bar at the bottom of the page, simply type the name of your list. For example, "Grocery List" or "Weekend Projects." Then tap the submit button (the up-arrow icon). The system will create your list and you can immediately start adding items to it.
Voice recording: Tap the microphone icon in the chat bar and speak your list name. Say something like "Create a book reading list" or "New workout routine." The system will transcribe your voice and create the list automatically.
