Getting started
What is Jortty?
Jortty is AI tech help for everyday life. Ask anything about your phone, computer or a message that looks off, by voice or by message, and Jortty walks you through it step by step. It also protects you from scams in your email and your browser, makes things like cards and documents, and runs free live workshops.
How do I get started?
Go to dashboard.jortty.com and sign up with your email, Google or Apple. The Free plan needs no card. Jortty works in any web browser on a computer, tablet or phone.
Is there an app?
Today Jortty works in the browser on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows. Our iPhone app is coming to the App Store soon. Jortty Shield is available for Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No, and that’s the point. Say it in your own words. Jortty asks one question at a time, uses plain language and waits for you.
Does Jortty book or buy things for me?
Not yet. Jortty’s helpers look things up on the real websites, find the exact page and get everything ready. You do the booking, buying and paying, with Jortty beside you. Doing it together, with your OK at every step, is coming next.
What happens when Jortty gets something wrong?
It tells you. If it can’t verify a phone number it says so, and if a task fails it says what did and didn’t happen. Jortty can make mistakes, so check important information.
Scams and safety
How does Jortty protect me from scams?
Four ways: on Premium and Elite, connect your email and Jortty checks every new message for you; forward anything suspicious to scam@jortty.com; paste a text or send a photo in chat and ask; and Jortty Shield warns you about dangerous pages in your browser.
Which email accounts work with automatic checks?
Automatic checks are on Premium and Elite. They work with Gmail, Outlook and Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL and iCloud, plus Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T, Cox, Verizon and others. Some providers ask for an app password, and Jortty shows you how.
Does Jortty move, send or delete my email?
Never. Inbox checks are read-only. Jortty reads new messages to check them, keeps the email itself for 7 days and then deletes it. It keeps the result (sender, subject and verdict) so you can see your history, and you can delete any check.
What happens when Jortty finds a scam?
You get an alert by email and in Jortty, with a plain explanation of what’s wrong and what to do.
Is scam protection weaker on the Free plan?
No. Every check is just as careful on every plan, and Shield blocks known scam sites for everyone. Free includes 10 checks a month. Premium and Elite add unlimited checks and watch your inbox for you automatically.
What are Shield and Navigator?
Shield is Jortty in your browser. It warns you before a scam page can trick you. Navigator, on Premium and Elite, sees the page you’re on and talks you through it, step by step. Jortty never types passwords for you.
How does Jortty find a company’s real phone number?
It looks on the company’s own website, checks it, and shows you where the number came from. If it can’t confirm a number, it says so instead of guessing.
What is Care Circle?
On Premium and Elite, family members you invite get a short weekly note about scams Jortty caught for you, and an alert right away if a dangerous email arrives. You choose who’s in your circle.

What do the plans cost?

What happens if I run out of credits?
Jortty tells you before it starts something you don’t have enough credits for. Scam protection keeps working either way. On Free, you get 30 new credits each month.
Do unused credits carry over?
On Premium and Elite, yes. Credits last 12 months from when you got them, and the oldest are used first. On Free, credits reset each month.
Can I buy more credits?
Premium and Elite members can add credits any time from Plan & billing in Jortty: 200 for $9.99, 500 for $19.99 or 1,000 for $39.99. Elite members get 15% off: $8.49, $16.99 and $33.99.
What if Jortty can’t make something I asked for?
You get the credits back.
How does the free trial work?
Premium is free for 7 days. We ask for a card when you start. Three days before the trial ends, we email you the date, the amount and a link to cancel. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from your account in Jortty. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for. If you subscribed through Apple, cancel in your iPhone’s Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions.
How do family plans work?
Premium adds 1 family member and Elite up to 4. Family members share the plan owner’s credits. If someone who already pays for Jortty joins a family plan, Jortty cancels their own plan and refunds the unused part. Members billed through Apple cancel in their iPhone settings first.
Workshops
What are the live workshops?
Free live classes every Friday, about an hour, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, staying safe online, AI and more. Register in Jortty, get a reminder the day before, and join from your computer through Zoom. See upcoming classes.
