Frequently asked

Why does Salli require iCloud?

There is no Salli server. Your lists live in your own private iCloud (CloudKit) database, which is what keeps your devices in sync — and what means no one but you and the people you share with can read them. Everyone using Salli needs to be signed in to iCloud on their device.

How do I share a list with someone?

Open the list → Manage People → create a share. Salli shows a QR code and the same code as text. On the other person's device, they open Salli → Join Shared List, and either scan the QR code or paste the text. Anyone holding that code can join and edit the list, so only give it to people you mean to share with.

How do I stop sharing, or remove someone?

Open the list → Manage People. From there you can remove any individual person, or stop sharing the list entirely. If someone shared a list with you, the same screen lets you leave it.

Why does everyone show as the same generic name?

Salli asks you to pick a name the first time you open it, and that is the name other people on a shared list see. If you skipped it, set it in Settings → Your Name. Someone who has not set a name yet shows as a placeholder until they do.

Notifications aren't arriving.

Check iOS Settings → Notifications → Salli is allowed, and that "Shared list updates" is on in Salli's own Settings screen. Notifications only ever fire for lists you share with someone else — a private list never notifies you about your own edits. They are composed on-device when iCloud syncs the change, so the device also needs a working network connection. While the app is open in front of you, changes appear in the list directly instead of as a notification.

Something isn't syncing between devices.

Confirm both devices are signed in to iCloud and have a network connection. Pull down on the list or dashboard to force a sync. If a device was offline while you edited, its changes upload the next time it reconnects. If it persists, email the address above with what you saw on each device.

Adding items by voice isn't working.

Tap the microphone in the add-item bar and hold your phone normally while you speak. It needs microphone and speech-recognition permission — check iOS Settings → Salli if you declined either. Voice input is available on iPhone and iPad; the Mac app is type-and-paste only. Saying a number first ("two milk") fills in the quantity, in English.

Can I use Salli on Mac, iPad, or Apple Watch?

Yes. The same app runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and syncs through your iCloud account. The Apple Watch app gets your lists from your iPhone, so it shows what the phone has — it has no camera or QR scanning of its own. The Mac app has no camera or microphone, so join a shared list there by pasting the code instead of scanning it.

How does the autocomplete know what I buy?

Salli remembers the item names you have added before and suggests them as you type, favouring what you buy most and what you tend to buy on that day of the week. It is built entirely from your own history on your own account — nothing is preloaded and nothing is shared. You can review and remove entries in Settings → Manage Suggestions.

Can I switch between Hebrew and English?

Yes — Settings → Language. Appearance (light/dark) is on the same screen.

How do I delete all my data?

Settings → Delete Account. It asks you to type a confirmation, then stops sharing every list you own, leaves every list shared with you, deletes your data from iCloud, and wipes the copy on your device. Deleting the app by itself only removes the local copy — your iCloud data stays until you use Delete Account.
