Create your account and sign in
Sign in with Google or Apple and Roma builds your account in seconds.
You create a Roma account by signing in with Google or Apple. There is no password to pick and no form to fill: the first sign-in builds the account, and the same sign-in afterwards takes you straight to your lists. One account works in the browser, in the Mac app and in the iPhone app.
Where to sign in
In the browser, go to roma.app and sign in with Google or Apple.
In the Mac app, the sign-in opens in your browser and hands you back to the app when it is done.
On the iPhone, sign in with Apple or Google inside the app.
Sign in with the same account on every device, and they all show the same lists.
What happens on the first sign-in
A brand-new account is built before you see it. The screen says Building your account and lists what is being set up, and when the app opens, all of this is already there:
Your Tasks list and your Notes list.
Three experts you can call into any conversation with an @mention: Content Editor, Devil's Advocate and Wordsmith.
Your Morning briefing, an automation that runs every day at 7 in your time zone.
Meeting prep and Mail check, two automations that wait, paused, until you connect Google Calendar and Gmail.
The operator's conversation, with its first messages already in it.
On a good connection the build takes a few seconds. A slow network never turns into a failed sign-in: Roma keeps trying, and the only thing that puts you back on the sign-in screen is a session the server refuses.
Roma asks for no system permission at sign-up. Not for notifications, not for the microphone, not for anything else. A permission is asked for the moment you switch on the thing that needs it, with Roma's own words explaining why.
Your first minute
The operator has left you a greeting with your name: "I'm your operator. Ask me anything, throw some tasks at me, or start with any of the suggestions below." Under it is one invitation, Let's create your first task together. It suggests a sentence to say or type, such as "Create a task to look up events for this weekend and remind me tomorrow at 10 am", with a button that starts the microphone. Say your own version. The operator creates the task, sets the reminder, and then asks what else is on your plate today. Whatever you answer becomes tasks. At the end it offers a Daily check-in that asks you the same question every morning at 8. A yes sets it up. A no ends it, and it is never offered again.
Noor says "book the dentist and send mum the photos from Saturday" and gets two tasks, confirmed in a sentence. She says "that's it", and the check-in offer appears under them.
Your Tasks list opens on a welcome card with a few example tasks. Tap one and it becomes a real task under the card, with the operator's first turn already running on it. The close button at the card's top right dismisses it. Your Tasks list explains what the list does from there.
Over the following days, the operator leaves one more card at a time, like connecting your calendar or setting up your morning briefing. Each one is a message with a button, and the button stays, so you can come back to it whenever you like.
Light, dark and color
A new account follows your device's light or dark mode. The colors wait in Settings → Display, where you can pick one for Roma to wear on every device. Settings in Roma walks through the rest of the page.
What to do next
Say something to the operator, or type a task into the New task row at the top of your Tasks list. How to use the operator covers the first things to say, and where Roma runs shows how to put the same account on your Mac and your iPhone. The two automations that start paused come alive the moment you connect Gmail and Google Calendar, which the automations Roma starts with explains.
If you ever want to leave, you can delete the account yourself. Delete your account says what goes and when.
Questions people ask
Do I need a password?
No. Roma signs you in with Google or Apple, so your account is as safe as the one you already protect, and there is nothing new to remember.
Can I use one account on my Mac, in the browser and on my iPhone?
Yes. Sign in with the same Google or Apple account on each, and every device shows the same lists, the same automations and the same operator conversation.
What if the sign-in seems stuck on Building your account?
Give it a moment. The build takes a few seconds on a good connection and waits a short while on a bad one, then lets you in and finishes the rest in the background. Roma never tells you the sign-in failed because the network was slow.
What does a new account start with?
A Tasks list, a Notes list, three experts, a morning briefing that runs at 7, two automations that wait for Gmail and Google Calendar, and the operator's first messages. No tasks are created for you: the welcome card offers examples, and you decide which become real.
