Stay paired, start again

Pairing used to expire after a week, and a week later you were typing a six-character code again. A pairing now lasts six months of use. Open DisplayList in your glasses and the list is there. If you do see a code, it is because you unpaired or have not opened the app in half a year.

After you enter the code at displaylist.fun, the page waits for your glasses and says when they are connected. No more guessing whether the code took. If the glasses do not answer within a minute, the page says so and offers a fresh code.

Lists have a Reset list button. When the weekly shop is done, tap it and every item is unchecked and ready for next week. You can also clear only the checked items. Deleting an item or a list now shows an Undo button for a few seconds, so one wrong tap costs nothing.

A new list offers a few common starting points: groceries, packing, chores, a to-do list. Pick one and the list is named and seeded with the usual items, or start blank. Grocery lists also suggest the things most people add, so milk and eggs are a tap away.

DisplayList speaks Italian, just in time for the glasses to arrive in Italy. That makes eleven languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai and Chinese.

A way to add to a list without touching the phone at all. More on that soon.
