You can now use kwiry to directly add movies to your Netflix queue, get Amazon results straight to your e-mail, and add appointments to your calendar!


For example, if a friend recommends a movie at lunch, simply text “netflix” followed by the movie title to 59479 (k-w-i-r-y). kwiry automatically adds the movie to your Netflix queue and the movie arrives on your doorstep – no more scribbling down the name on a napkin or forgetting the recommendation.


kwiry’s Shortcuts feature includes the following services:



• TiVo: Send a message with “tivo” followed by the name of a TV program to kwiry (e.g. tivo 30 rock) and the show will be scheduled on your TiVo DVR. More here.

Hi ZelldaHack,

No problem.

1. Set your primary account e-mail as the "receive e-mail". If it's not already your default e-mail, change it here: https://www.kwiry.com/account/#email.

2. Go here (https://www.kwiry.com/account/#email) and click "add an email address". This will be your "send e-mail"

3. Send an e-mail to save@kwiry.com from the email you entered in step 1 with your kwiry content in either the subject OR the body of the e-mail.

4. You'll receive an e-mail with results to the e-mail you specified in step 1.

Let me know if you'd like more info on any of these steps and if it works for you!

Hi ZelldaHack - Does your mobile device have e-mail? You can send kwirys to save@kwiry.com and they're processed the same way as text messages. Make sure that the from address is the one you used to sign-up for kwiry OR you can add additional e-mail addresses in the account section at www.kwiry.com. Let us know if it works for you!

Happytodd - thanks for the suggestion and appreciate the encouragement! Unfortunately, the costs for international text messaging short codes are in the tens of thousands of dollars per country and these costs are ongoing, so a simple donations tab won't solve that. We'll definitely add new countries as soon as we're able, in the meantime - we encourage folks to use one of the many options for sending in kwirys internationally that are outlined above.
