Hide or show pages in a Blrt Reply

You can hide certain pages when creating a Blrt Reply. These pages will still be available to show again on later Blrt Replies.

Play back Blrts exactly as they were recorded

Nothing is lost in translation when creating a Blrt. Play back Blrts you receive exactly as the sender recorded them, along with synced audio.

Get everyone on the same page

Blrts, Blrt Replies and comments are threaded in conversations with the people you invite. Get everyone collaborating and sharing their thoughts.

Add people to existing conversations

You don’t have to send a Blrt out to everyone immediately. You can always add people to a conversation later, and they will receive the full history of the conversation.

Add from your contacts

As long as they have an email address, you can easily add people to a conversation right from your device’s contact list.

Add friends from Facebook

Easily add friends from Facebook to Blrt conversations. They will need to also be Blrt users.

Quickly send Blrt Replies

Creating a Blrt Reply using the same media will send extremely quickly, as there is no need to re-upload the media. If you add additional media to your Blrt Reply, only anything new will need to be uploaded.

Get notified whenever there is anything new

Receive push notifications straight to your device whenever you receive a new Blrt, Blrt Reply or comment. Email notifications are customisable.

Copy or email links to Blrts

You can copy, email or SMS a direct link to a Blrt or a Blrt conversation. Note: to open the link you will need to be logged in a user who has access to the conversation.

Familiar mailbox interface

Blrt conversations are listed in a similar way to threaded email conversations or messages in a chat, creating an easy and familiar user experience.

Tag conversations

Create custom tags and reuse them on multiple conversations to easily filter your inbox.

Flag conversations

Ensure you don’t forget to reply to a conversation by flagging it, pinning the conversation to the top of your inbox.

Archive old conversations

Declutter the inbox by sending older conversations to the archive. They will always be available there if you need them again.

Search and filter

Search all conversations in your inbox. The inbox will refresh with search results on the fly. You can also filter results by tags or people.

Cross-device, cross-platform

Blrt is already available on iOS and Android, mobile and tablet devices, with more platforms coming soon.

Lightweight but lossless

Blrt sends PDF files losslessly to your recipients (images have moderate jpeg compression applied), and plays back your talking, drawing and zooming on the client side. This means a video-like experience at around 1/50th the file size.

Download media only once

A huge advantage Blrt has over video is that once the media files for a conversation are downloaded, they don’t need to be downloaded again. Blrt Replies utilising the same media will consequently upload and download lightning fast even on poor mobile connections.

All in the cloud

Everything you do in Blrt is stored securely in the cloud and synced between devices. Even your tags and unread Blrts and comments are synced.

Work offline

Blrt won’t throw a wobbly if you’ve got no internet connection – it will simply cache your work on the device for uploading later.

All media uploaded to our servers is encrypted, and decrypted only upon reaching your device.
